the power on self-test (POST). If an error occurs, an error message will be displayed on screen,

3.4 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 DMS-SA13.
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 boot-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 "Ctrl"+"Alt"+"Del" keys simultaneously. The
Ubiquitous Touch Computer 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.
3.5 Installing the Drivers
After installing your system software, you will be able to set up the Chipset, Graphics, Ethernet,
audio and touch screen functions by 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 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.
For your reference, the directory of drivers on the "Drivers and Utilities" CD-ROM "d:\driver"
folder
Note
The drivers and utilities used for the DMS-SA13 panel PCs are subject to change without
notice. If in doubt, check Advantech's website or contact our application engineers for the
latest information regarding drivers and utilities.
