2.4 Installing System Software
Recent
releases of operating systems from major
vendors include
setup
programs which load automatically and guide users through the entire
process
of operating system installation. The
guidelines below
help to
determine the
steps necessary to install your operating system on
the
computer hard drive.
Note!
Some distributors and system integrators may have already
pre- installed system software prior to shipment of your
Mounted
Computer.
The BIOS of the computer supports system
boots-up directly from the CD-ROM
drive whenever it is connected
using a USB interface. Insert the
system
installation CD- ROM
into the CD-ROM
drive.
Power on
the computer, or reset the system
by pressing the “Ctrl”
+ “Alt”
+ “Del”
keys simultaneously. The computer
will automatically load the operating
system from
the diskette or CD-ROM.
When
presented with the opening screen of a
setup
/ installation
program,
simply fol- low the onscreen
instructions. The
setup program guides
users
through preparations of the
hard drive, and installation of the operating
system.
When presented
with an operating
system command
prompt,
like, A:\>, then it
is
nec- essary to partition
and
format
the hard
drive, and manually copy the
operating sys- tem files to
it.
Refer
to the operating system user instructions
about partitioning and formatting the hard drive.
2.5 Installing the Drivers
After installing system software,
the computer is ready to set
up the AMD
chipset, VGA, audio, LAN, and touch screen functions. All the pre-requisite
drivers are stored on
a CD-ROM disc entitled “Drivers and Utilities”
(Check the
correct wording
on
the CD, which can be found in the
accessory box.)
The utility directory includes multimedia programs. Some drivers and
utilities
in the CD-ROM disc have
their own text files which help users
install the drivers
and under- stand their functions.
These files are a very useful supplement to the information
in this manual.
For
more details of driver installation please refers to Chapter 5 to 10 of this
manual.
Note!
The drivers and utilities used for the TREK-520 are subject to
change without notice. If in doubt, check
Advantech's
website or
contact our
application engineers for the latest information
regarding
drivers and utilities.
2.6 Programming Function Keys and GPIO/CAN BUS
The Mount Computer provides five function keys, GPIO and CAN bus as
shown in section 2.1. These functions must be activated with the correct
software, that’s why we
provide
an AP
library
for customers to design their own
software. Refer to Appendix
C
for more detail.
