2.5 Installing System Software
Recent releases of operating systems from major vendors include setup programs
which load automatically and guide you through hard disk formatting and operating
system installation. The guidelines below will help determine the steps necessary to
install the operating system onto the panel PC hard drive.
The BIOS of the panel PC supports system boot-up directly from the CD-ROM drive.
Alternatively, it is possible to insert the system installation CD into the CD-ROM
drive.
To power on the panel PC, or to reset the system: press the "Ctrl"+"Alt"+"Del" keys
simultaneously. The panel PC will automatically load the operating system from the
diskette or CD-ROM.
If presented with a setup or installation program, follow the instructions on screen.
The setup program guides the user through preparation of a new hard drive, and
installation of the new operating system.
If presented with an operating system command prompt, such as E:\>, then partition
and format the hard drive, and manually copy the operating system files to it. Refer to
the operating system user manual for instructions on partitioning and formatting a
hard drive.
2.6 Installing the Drivers
After installing your system software, you will be able to set up the Chipset, Ethernet,
VGA, audio, PCMCIA, light sensor and touchscreen functions. All the drivers are
stored in a CD-ROM disc entitled "Drivers and Utilities." the CD-ROM can be found
in your accessory box.
