7.1Prerequisites for commissioning

Before you switch on the device, you should verify that the peripherals are connected, i.e. the keyboard, mouse, monitor and the power supply.

The operating system of your device is preinstalled on the hard disk.

Caution

Risk of damage to the device!

Make sufficient allowances for the device to acquire room temperature before you put it into use. If condensation develops, wait at least 12 hours before switching on the device.

7.2Basic commissioning - initial power-up

The Rack PC operating system is automatically set up the first time you switch on the device. Procedure:

1.Press the on/off button. The green power LED lights up. The PC performs a POST. During this self-test, this message appears:

Press <F2> to enter SETUP

2.Wait until this message is cleared, then follow the instructions on the screen.

3.Type in the Product Key as required. You can find this key on the "Certificate of Authentication", in the "Product Key" line.

Notice

The PC may not be switched off when you run setup.

Do not change the default BIOS settings as this will disrupt the operating system installation.

4. Automatic restart

After you have entered all necessary information and after the operating system

setup is completed, the PC is automatically restarted and displays the user interface of the relevant operating system.

From now on, after you switch on the PC, the user interface of the operating system is automatically opened when the startup routine is completed.
