Software Installation

Recent releases of operating systems (OS) from major vendors include setup pro-
grams that load automatically and guide users through hard disk preparation and
operating system installation. The information below provides instructions regarding
OS installation on the system hard drive.
Note!
Some distributors and system integrators may have pre-installed system
software prior to shipment of your panel PC.
If OS installation is required, insert the OS installation or setup disk into the external
disk drive. The BIOS utility supports system bootup directly from the Flash disk.
Users may also insert the system installation Flash disk into a USB port.
Power on or reset the system, then press <F2> or <Del> to boot into the BIOS setup
menu and adjust the boot device sequence.
When <F12> is pressed during bootup, a popup menu appears with a list of bootable
devices. Users can select the device for bootup. POC-615 terminals will automati-
cally load the OS driver from the Flash disk. However, if a setup or installation pro-
gram menu is displayed on screen, follow the instructions provided. The setup
program will guide you through hard drive preparation and OS installation.

Driver Installation

After installing the system software, users can install the chipset, graphics, Ethernet,
audio, and touchscreen drivers. The standard procedures for installing the drivers are
described in Chapter 5.
The various drivers and utilities on the CD-ROM disk are accompanied by text files
that provide driver installation instructions and function descriptions. Those files are a
useful supplement to the information provided in this manual. Additionally, all drivers
can be downloaded from the Advantech website.
