2.3 Running the BIOS Setup Program

Your POC-W152/W152C was probably set up and configured by your dealer prior to delivery. You may still find it necessary to use the BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) setup program to change system configuration information, such as the current date and time or your type of hard drive. The setup program is stored in read-only memory. It can be accessed either when you turn on or reset the panel PC, by pressing the "F2 or Del" key on your keyboard immediately after powering on the computer.

The settings you specify with the setup program are recorded in a special area of memory called CMOS RAM. This memory is backed up by a battery so that it will not be erased when you turn off or reset the system. Whenever you turn on the power, the system reads the settings stored in CMOS RAM and compares them to the equipment check conducted during the power on self-test (POST). If an error occurs, an error message will be displayed on screen, and you will be prompted to run the setup program.

2.4 Installing System Software

Recent releases of operating systems from major vendors include setup programs which load automatically and guide you through hard disk preparation and operating system installation. The guidelines below will help you determine the steps necessary to install your operating system on the panel PC hard drive.

Note! Some distributors and system integrators may have already pre-installed system software prior to shipment of your panel PC.

Advantech POC-W152 - Installing System Software - 1

If required, insert your operating system's installation or setup diskette into the external diskette drive until the release button pops out.

The BIOS supports system boots up directly from the CD-ROM drive. You may also insert your system installation CD-ROM disk into your external CD-ROM drive.

Power on or reset the system by pressing the “F2 or Del” key to boot into BIOS menu and adjust the boot device sequence.

You can also press F12 key when booting; a bootable device popup menu will appear, you can select bootable device that you want. The Point-of-Care Terminal will automatically 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.

2.5 Installing the Drivers

After installing your system software, you will be able to set up the Chipset, Graphics, Ethernet, Audio, and Touchscreen functions from your own external CD-ROM drive. All the drivers except the CD-ROM drive driver are stored in a CD-ROM disc entitled "Drivers and Utilities."

The standard automatic installation procedures for installing the Chipset, Graphics, Audio, Ethernet, TXE and Touch drivers are described in Chapter 3.

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.

Operation and Safety Information

3.1 General Safety Guide

For your own safety and that of your equipment, always take the following precautions.

Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cord), from your computer if any of the following conditions exists:

■ The power cord or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged
■ You spill something into the case
- Your computer has been dropped or the case has been otherwise damaged
■ You suspect that your computer needs service or repair
■ You want to clean the computer or screen
■ You want to remove/install any parts

3.2 Protecting Your Optical Drive

To keep your optical drive working properly:

■ Position your computer so that the drive tray doesn't bump into anything when it opens.
■ Close the drive when you're not using it.
- Do not put anything on the drive tray when it is open.
Do not touch the optical drive lens with your fingers. Do not wipe the lens with a paper towel or other abrasive surface.

3.3 Thermal

The vent hole of the POC-W152/W152C rear cover functions as a cooling air flow inlet and outlet. These air inlets and outlets transfer heat from inside the computer to the cooler air outside. Do not block these holes/vents with any soft material.

When using your POC-W152/W152C system, it is normal for the rear metal heatsink to get warm. The rear metal heatsink of the POC-W152/W152C functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the computer to the cooler air outside. Do not block this heatsink with any soft material.

Warning! Do not place your POC-W152/W152C system on a pillow or other soft material when it is on, as the material may block the airflow and cause the computer to overheat.

3.4 Disconnect the Power

The only way to disconnect power completely is to unplug the adapter power cord. Make sure at least one end of the power cord is within easy reach so that you can unplug the computer when you need to.

Warning! Your AC cord came equipped with a three-wire grounding plug (a plug that has a third grounding pin). This plug will fit only a grounded AC outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet because the outlet is not grounded, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug.

Warning! Never push objects of any kind into this product through the openings in the case. Doing so may be dangerous and result in fire or a dangerous electric shock.

Never place anything on system case before turning off the computer.

Never turn on your computer unless all of its internal and external parts are in place.

Operating the computer when it is open or missing parts can be dangerous and can damage the system.
