Driver Installation

Intelligence Panel PCs are shipped from the factory with the Windows operating system pre-installed. Depending on the product purchased, CIMPLICITY software is also preinstalled. For configurations where no operating system is installed or the operating system needs to be re-installed, you must perform a complete installation procedure and set up all necessary drivers. The original CDs and a Softkeyboard floppy disk are supplied with the unit.

Note: During installation it is recommended that you connect a PS/2 mouse to the mouse port because the TouchScreen is not yet usable. This simplifies the process of initial installation of the operating system. The mouse can be removed later without an error message.
