ensure the settings will not be erased when the computer is turned off or reset. When
the computer is powered on again, the system will read the settings stored in the
CMOS RAM and compare them to the equipment check conducted during the power
on self-test (POST). If any error or mismatch occurs, an error message will be shown
on the screen and the computer will be prompted to run the setup program.
2.2.3 Operating System and Driver
The standard FPC 71X0 series system may not be equipped with an operating
system (OS). If you are a commercial user, the system is likely to have been pre-
installed with a proper operating system and software drivers by your dealer or
system integrator. If the system is not pre-installed with any system OS and drivers
or you intend to install your preferred ones, you will need to load an OS and
software into the system.
1. Use the external IDE Cable (optional) to connect a USB CD-ROM Drive to load
an OS from a bootable CD. Recent releases of operating systems include setup
programs that load automatically and guide you through the installation. You can
also refer to your OS user manual for instructions on formatting or partitioning the
hard disk drive before any software installation.
2. Install software drivers for your operating system and any peripherals that are
connected. The FPC 71X0 series utility CD includes software drivers for
Chipset driver, Audio, LAN, Touch, Wireless and VGA Display drivers. See
driver installation chapters for more information.
