2.2 Installation Procedures 2.2.1 Connecting the Power Cord There are two kinds of power supplies for the TREK-755/TREK-756 series, AC and DC. For AC model: The Vehicle Mounted Computer can only be powered by an AC electrical outlet (100 ~ 250 volts, 50 ~ 60 Hz). Be sure to always handle the power cords by holding plug ends only.
2.3 Running the BIOS Setup Program Your computer is likely to have been properly set up and configured by your dealer prior to delivery. You may still find it necessary to use the computer's BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) setup program to change system configuration information, such as the current date and time or your type of hard drive.
If you are presented with an operating system command prompt, such as A:\>, then you must partition and format your hard drive, and manually copy the operating system files to it. Refer to your operating system user's manual for instructions on partitioning and formatting a hard drive. TREK-755/TREK-756 User Manual...
