Connecting and Switching On the Panel PC 670/870

2.6.1 Windows 98 (only applies to Panel PC 670)

When the Panel PC 670 is started up for the first time, the system requests entry of the appropriate OEM license number during the operating system boot routine. Please refer to the label supplied for this information. After entering the license number, enter a name for the computer so that it can be identified within a network.

Special features

The Panel PC 670 is shipped with BIOS setting LEGACY SUPPORT DISABLED. That means the full functional range of a USB keyboard is not available during the initial boot sequence (before Windows is started). There are no restrictions for using a USB keyboard to make changes in the BIOS Setup. When using an operating panel with touchscreen front, changes can only be made to the BIOS using an externally connected USB or PS/2 keyboard.

Following a faulty operation, e.g. uncontrolled system shutdown or power failure, the Panel PC 670 starts the Scandisk program during the subsequent boot routine. It is not possible for the user to stop this automatically started program using an integrated membrane keyboard or external USB keyboard.

The following steps are recommended in order to interrupt this automatic process:

1.When Scandisk has been completed, switch the device off and on again. Windows reboots without any keyboard input.

If Windows is not rebooted, switch the operating unit off again. Carry out the following steps:

2.Plug in the USB keyboard and switch on the power supply.

3.Press the "F2" key during the boot routine.

4.Select Hardware Options in the BIOS Setup and switch the LEGACY SUPPORT setting to ENABLED.

The USB keyboard is also supported in Enabled mode.

Notice

If Legacy Support is activated in the BIOS (enabled), individual problems may occur with specific ISA/PCI extension boards.

5.After rebooting the system again, select Hardware Options in the BIOS Setup and switch LEGACY SUPPORT back to DISABLED.

If Windows 98 is terminated and Start in MS DOS Mode is selected, input is only possible using an external PS/2 keyboard.

Power management

The default Power Saving setting Disabled must not be changed in the BIOS setup.
