Initial Operation and Setup

Chapter objectives

This chapter discusses initial setup procedures and operation of the system.

Operating guidelines

We recommend the following operating guidelines for the VersaView Integrated Display
Computer:
Avoid turning the system on and off frequently.
Always use the proper power down procedures as required by your operating system,
such as the Shut Down command in Microsoft® Windows.
Do not turn off the computer until a message appears telling you that it is safe to do so.
Do not operate the VersaView Integrated Display Computer with covers removed. An
electrical shock hazard exists. In addition, removing the covers will disrupt air flow
and may result in overheating. All covers are required to maintain EMI shield.
After shutting the system off, do not move the computer or turn it back on again until the hard
drive has come to a complete stop (it takes about 30 seconds).

Operator access

Operator access is limited to the front panel of the VersaView computer. This includes the
display and touchscreen. Access to components behind the rack or panel in which the
computer is installed is restricted to authorized and properly trained personnel.

Boot-up sequence

To boot up the system:
1. Apply power to the VersaView computer. The computer performs a Power On Self
Test (POST) in which it tests the processor board, memory, keyboard, and certain
peripheral devices.
2. The computer displays the progress of the POST and initialization of accessory
devices.
