Advantech PPC-A84/A120-X5X user manual Installing the Drivers

The BIOS of the panel PC supports system boot-up directly from the CD-ROM drive. You may also insert your system installation CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. Refer to Chapter 8 - BIOS Setup if you wish to change the BIOS settings.

Power on your panel PC or reset the system by pressing the "Ctrl"+"Alt"+"Del" keys simultaneously. The panel PC will automati- cally load the operating system from the diskette or CD-ROM.

If you are presented with the opening screen of a setup or installation program, follow the instructions on screen. The setup program will guide you through preparation of your hard drive, and installation of the operating system.

If you are presented with an operating system command prompt, such as A:\>, then you must partition and format your hard drive, and manually copy the operating system files to it. Refer to your operating system user's manual for instructions on partitioning and formatting a hard drive.

2.8 Installing the Drivers

After installing your system software, you will be able to set up the Ethernet, SVGA, audio, and touchscreen functions. All the drivers are stored in a CD-ROM disc entitled "Drivers and Utilities" which can be found in your accessory box.

The standard procedures for installing the Ethernet, SVGA, audio, and touchscreen drivers are described in Chapters 4, 5, 6 and 7 respective- ly.

The various drivers and utilities in the CD-ROM disc have their own text files which help users install the drivers and understand their functions. These files are a very useful supplement to the information in this manual.

Note:	The drivers and utilities used for the PPC-A84/A120
	panel PCs are subject to change without notice. If in
	doubt, check Advantech's web site or contact our
	application engineers for the latest information
