  • Page 25 Remove the two screws, then remove the hard disk drive tray. Connect the IDE and power cables to the HDD rear connectors. Place the hard disk drive on the tray, then secure it with a screw. Fold the cable as shown. Replace the HDD tray, then secure it with two screws.
  • Page 26: Installing A Compactflash Card

    The CompactFlash card reader uses an IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) interface and only supports storage cards. Plug and play is not supported so you must insert the card before you turn the PT-6900 POS on. After inserting a Com- pactFlash card, replace the cover to prevent the card from being accidently removed while power is on.
  • Page 27: Bios Setup Utility

    The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup Utility displays the system's configuration status and provides options to set system parameters. The parameters are stored in battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that saves this informa- tion even when the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system is configured with the values found in CMOS.The following topics are described in this chapter.
  • Page 28: Entering The Setup Utility

    Entering the Setup Utility When you power on the system, BIOS enters the Power-On Self Test (POST) routines. POST is a series of built-in diagnostics performed by the BIOS.
