2.4 Installing System Software

Recent releases of operating systems by major vendors include setup programs that
load automatically and guide users through hard disk preparation and operating sys-
tem installation. The instructions below outline the steps for installing an operating
system on the UTC-315 POS hard drive.
Note! Some distributors and system integrators may have preinstalled system
software onto UTC-315 POS prior to shipment.
Software installation requires that an HDD is already installed. Software can be
loaded onto UTC-315 using any of the following four methods:

2.4.1 Method 1: Ethernet

The Ethernet port can be used to download software to the HDD.

2.4.2 Method 2: External USB CD-ROM

Insert the operating system installation disk into the disk drive until the release button
pops up. The UTC-315 POS BIOS also supports system bootup directly from the CD-
ROM drive. After inserting the installation disk, power on or reset the system by
pressing "Ctrl" + "Alt" + "Del" simultaneously. UTC-315 POS will automatically load
the operating system from the disk or CD-ROM drive.
If presented with the opening screen of a setup or installation program, follow the
onscreen instructions. The setup program will guide users through preparing the hard
drive and installing the operating system. If presented with an operating system com-
mand prompt, such as A:\>, users must partition and format the hard drive before
manually copying the operating system files. Refer to the operating system user
manual for instructions on partitioning and formatting a hard drive.

2.5 Installing Drivers

After the system software is installed, the Ethernet, chipset, graphics, audio, USB
3.0, and touchscreen functions can be setup. All the drivers can be downloaded from
the Advantech website.
Note! The drivers and utilities used for UTC-315 POS are subject to change
without notice.
If in doubt, check the Advantech website or contact our application engi-
neers for the latest information regarding drivers and utilities.
