2.1 Quick Tour of UTC-315 POS
Before setting up UTC-315 POS, familiarize yourself with the location and functions
of the controls, drives, connectors, and ports (see Figures 2.1 and 2.2).
When placed upright on a desk, the UTC-315 POS front panel appears as shown in
Figure 2.1.
Figure 2.1 Front view of UTC-315 POS
Located at the rear of UTC-315 POS is the system I/O, as shown in Figure 2.2. The
various I/O includes Ethernet, USB, HDMI, Line Out, Mic In, RJ11, DC In, VGA, and
serial ports.)

2.2 Installation Procedures
2.2.1 Connecting the Power Cord
The UTC-315 POS is powered by DC power supply. Be sure to hold the plug end
when plugging or unplugging the power cord. See Figure 2.3 regarding connecting
the male plug of the power cord to the DC inlet of UTC-315 POS.
2.2.2 Connecting a Keyboard or Mouse
Before starting up the computer, connect a keyboard via the I/O ports located at the
rear of UTC-315 POS.
2.2.3 Switching on the Power
The power switch is located at the rear of UTC-315 POS.3.
Figure 2.3 Connect the power cord to the DC inlet

UTC-315 POS Series User Manual 10
2.3 Running the BIOS Setup
In most cases, the device will have been setup and configured by the dealer prior to
delivery. Nonetheless, some users may need to access the UTC-315 POS' BIOS
(Basic Input-Output System) setup program to configure the system data, such as
the current date/time and hard drive type. The BIOS setup program is stored in read-
only memory (ROM) and can be accessed during system power up/reset by pressing
“Del” on the keyboard.
The settings specified are then stored in a special area of memory called CMOS
RAM. This memory is backed up by a battery to ensure data retention when the sys-
tem is shut down or reset. Whenever powered up, the system reads the settings
stored in CMOS RAM and compares them to the results of the equipment check con-
ducted during the power on self-test (POST). If an error occurs, an onscreen error
notification will be displayed prompting users to run the setup program.

2.4 Installing System Software
Recent releases of operating systems by major vendors include setup programs that
load automatically and guide users through hard disk preparation and operating sys-
tem installation. The instructions below outline the steps for installing an operating
system on the UTC-315 POS hard drive.
Software installation requires that an HDD is already installed. Software can be
loaded onto UTC-315 using any of the following four methods:
2.4.1 Method 1: Ethernet
The Ethernet port can be used to download software to the HDD.
2.4.2 Method 2: External USB CD-ROM
Insert the operating system installation disk into the disk drive until the release button
pops up. The UTC-315 POS BIOS also supports system bootup directly from the CD-
ROM drive. After inserting the installation disk, power on or reset the system by
pressing “Ctrl” + “Alt” + “Del” simultaneously. UTC-315 POS will automatically load
the operating system from the disk or CD-ROM drive.
If presented with the opening screen of a setup or installation program, follow the
onscreen instructions. The setup program will guide users through preparing the hard
drive and installing the operating system. If presented with an operating system com-
mand prompt, such as A:\>, users must partition and format the hard drive before
manually copying the operating system files. Refer to the operating system user
manual for instructions on partitioning and formatting a hard drive.
2.5 Installing Drivers
After the system software is installed, the Ethernet, chipset, graphics, audio, USB
3.0, and touchscreen functions can be setup. All the drivers can be downloaded from
the Advantech website.
Note! Some distributors and system integrators may have preinstalled system
software onto UTC-315 POS prior to shipment.
Note! The drivers and utilities used for UTC-315 POS are subject to change
without notice.
If in doubt, check the Advantech website or contact our application engi-
neers for the latest information regarding drivers and utilities.
