Both Norton Ghost and Acronis disk image software can use the PXE boot ROM to download software images to the 650 hard drive. Both have been tested with the 650.

For a diskless 650 system there is good support in the Linux community for remote boot. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the Windows environment.

Exception: XP Embedded does support remote boot, but with a number of limitations.

Display OEM Logo

The BIOS can display two types of OEM logos on boot up. The default is a small J2 logo in the upper right hand corner. With this setting BIOS POST test messages can be seen during boot up. The second type which is enabled by this entry is a full screen J2 logo. When this logo is selected the BIOS POST messages cannot be seen. The BIOS setup can still be entered by typing the DEL key a few seconds after the logo appears.

Customer logos can replace the J2 logos when required. The large logo file format is 640x480 with 256 colors bitmap file. The small logo file format is 128x96 in 16 color bit- map file. Please contact J2 regarding this, if required.

RTC Configuration

The RTC has an alarm function that can be used to turn the 650 on at a preset time of day. This function is enabled by this setting. The wake up time can also be set here.

J2 also supplies a utility to set the wake-up time from Windows (XP Pro, XPe, WEPOS and CE). This is more versatile than the BIOS setting as it allows for more than one time of day to be set as well as days of the week to turn on.
