Installing An Os; Figure 1.5 Bios Post Screen - Advantech FWA-1320 User Manual

If the connection is successful you should be able to see the BIOS Power On (POST)
screen after powering the unit:
Please note that the BISO is doing some initial start up work while the console is still
not active. It may take a while until the BIOS POST screen appears. On the other
hand, the BIOS has been optimized for minimum boot time. The BIOS will move
through POST quickly and immediately try to boot an OS according to the selected
boot options in the BIOS:
In case you would extend the time the BIOS displays the POST screen and waits for
a key press to enter the setup menu, you can do so via the BIOS setup menu. Please
refer to section 3.2 for details.
