Chapter 2 System Setup
33
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 DriversAfter 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.
