Switching the Industrial PC on and off
The Industrial PC is switched on with the power pushbutton behind the
front flap. The main switch at the rear of the housing has to be switched on
before.
The Industrial PC is switched off when either of these switches is off.
Control software such as is typically used on Industrial PCs permits various
users to be given different rights. A user who may not close software may
also not switch the Industrial PC off, since data can be lost from the hard
disk by switching off while software is running.
First shut down, then switch off the PC!
If the Industrial PC is switched off as the software is writing a file to the
hard disk, the file will be destroyed. Control software typically writes
something to the hard disk every few seconds, so that the probability of
causing damage by switching off while the software is running is very high.
When you have shut down the Industrial PC, you have to switch off power
supply for at least 10 seconds before rebooting the system.
After resetting power supply the PC will start booting automatically.
First switching on and driver installation
When you switch on the Industrial PC for the first time, the pre-installed
operating system (optional) will be started. In this case, all the required
drivers for any additional, optional hardware components ordered with the
PC will already have been installed.
If the PC was ordered without operating system, you have to install the
operating system and the driver software for any auxiliary hardware
yourself. Please follow the instructions in the documentation for the
operating system and the additional devices.
