Chapter 3: Starting Your PowerStation

Using the BIOS Utility

3The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration information has been erased.

Every computer with a motherboard includes a special chip referred to as the BIOS or ROM BIOS (Read Only Memory Basic Input/Output System). The BIOS includes instructions to interact with the computer hardware. It also includes a test which ensures that the computer meets requirements to boot up properly. If the computer encounters an error during the test, you either hear a combination of beeps or see an error message on the screen.

Error messages can be fatal or non-fatal. Generally, the system can continue the boot up sequence with a non-fatal error. These are usually displayed on the screen along with the following instructions:

Press <F1> to RESUME

Write down the error message and press the F1 key to continue booting the system. If you want to change BIOS settings, refer to the following sections.

Using the BIOS Utility

Entering Setup

Before changing any of the BIOS settings, shut down the system and connect a keyboard to the PowerStation.

1Turn on the PowerStation.

2Press the F1 key while the system splash screen displays to enter the BIOS setup utility.

When the BIOS utility is displayed, press a letter key or use the arrow keys to navigate through the menu.

PA Series specifications

Parker Hannifin, a global leader in motion and control technologies, has developed the PA Series, a line of advanced linear actuators designed to enhance industrial automation and machinery with reliable performance and integration capabilities. These actuators are engineered for precision, offering a range of features that cater to diverse applications in various sectors, including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.

One of the main features of the PA Series is its compact design, which allows for flexible installation even in limited spaces. The actuators are available in various sizes and configurations, enabling engineers to choose the most suitable option for their specific requirements. This versatility in design contributes to efficient operations, as the PA Series can be easily integrated into existing systems or used in new machinery.

The technology behind the PA Series is noteworthy for its robust construction and high durability. These actuators are built with high-quality materials that ensure long service life, even in demanding environments. They are designed to withstand mechanical stress, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to contaminants, making them ideal for use in harsh industrial conditions.

In addition to their strength, the PA Series actuators incorporate advanced motion control technologies. This includes closed-loop systems that ensure accurate positioning and repeatability. With integrated feedback mechanisms such as encoders, the actuators can provide real-time data on position and speed, allowing for precise control and adjustments during operation.

Another significant characteristic of the PA Series is its energy efficiency. The actuators are designed to minimize power consumption while maximizing output performance. This not only reduces operational costs but also supports sustainable practices in industrial operations.

Furthermore, the PA Series features a user-friendly interface for easy programming and control. This accessibility allows engineers and technicians to quickly set up and modify actuator parameters according to specific project demands. As industries continue to evolve towards automation, the flexibility and scalability of the PA Series make it an ideal choice for companies looking to enhance their productivity and efficiency.

Overall, the Parker Hannifin PA Series stands out for its innovative design, superior technology, and reliable performance. Whether deployed in robotics, assembly lines, or material handling applications, these actuators are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial automation.
