2.3 BIOS Setup

Your POC-624 terminal was most likely setup and pre-configured by the vendor prior to delivery. However, you may still find it necessary to access the BIOS setup program to modify the system configuration data, such as the date and time or type of hard drive.

The BIOS utility is stored in read-only memory and can be accessed when the device is powered on by pressing <F2> or <Del> during boot up. The configuration settings are recorded in CMOS RAM. This memory is backed up by a battery to ensure it is retained when the system is powered off.

Upon boot up, the system reads the settings stored in CMOS RAM and compares the data to the results of the equipment check performed during the power on self-test (POST). If a discrepancy is identified, an error message will be displayed onscreen, and users will be prompted to run the setup program.

2.4 Software Installation

Recent releases of operating systems (OS) from major vendors include setup programs that load automatically and guide users through hard disk preparation and operating system installation. The information below provides instructions regarding OS installation on the system hard drive.

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

If OS installation is required, insert the installation or setup disk into the external disk drive. The BIOS utility supports system bootup directly from the Flash disk or via USB. Power on or reset the system, then press <F2> or <Del> to boot into the BIOS setup menu and adjust the boot device sequence. When <F12> is pressed during bootup, a popup menu appears with a list of bootable devices. Users can select the device for bootup. POC-624 terminals automatically load the OS driver from the Flash disk. However, if a setup or installation program menu is displayed on screen, follow the instructions provided. The setup program will guide you through hard drive preparation and OS installation.

2.5 Driver Installation

After installing the system software, users can install the chipset, graphics, Ethernet, audio, and touchscreen drivers. The standard procedures for installing the drivers are described in Chapter 5.

The various drivers and utilities on the CD-ROM disk are accompanied by text files that provide driver installation instructions and function descriptions. Those files are a useful supplement to the information provided in this manual. Additionally, all drivers can be downloaded from the Advantech website.
