NOTE: Equipotential terminal need link to hospital ground/earth system before
system boot to protect operator and system .

2.2 Installation Procedures
2.2.1 Connecting the Power Cord
The AVAS-402 can only be powered by connecting the power cord to its
power supply (FSP500M-80PA), and pressing the power button on the front
cover. Be sure to always handle the power cords by holding the plug ends
only.
Follow these procedures in order:
1. Connect the female end of the power cord to the 3-pin AC male plug of
AVAS-402.
2. Connect the 3-pin male plug of the power cord to an electrical outlet.
Figure 2.7 Connecting the power cord
2.2.2 Connecting the Ground Pin
Step 1. System ready and find the Equipotential Terminal on rear side of AVAS.
An Equipotential Terminal is provide to optionally connect to a hospital
ground/earth system
Figure 2-8: AVAS-402 Equipotential Terminal Pin
Step 2. Prepare the Grounding cable and the other terminal link to hospital
ground/earth system.

Figure 2-9: Grounding cable with connector
Step 3. Grounding cable plug with AVAS-402 Equipotential Terminal (See Figure 2-8)
2.3 Running the BIOS Setup Program
Your AVAS-402 was probably set up and configured by your dealer prior to delivery.
You may still find it necessary to use the 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. The setup program is stored in read-only memory. It
can be accessed either when you turn on or reset the AVAS-402, by pressing the “F2
or Del” key on your keyboard immediately after powering on the computer.
The settings you specify with the setup program are recorded in a special area of
memory called CMOS RAM. This memory is backed up by a battery so that it will
not be erased when you turn off or reset the system. Whenever you turn on the
power, the system reads the settings stored in CMOS RAM and compares them to
the equipment check conducted during the power on self-test (POST). If an error
occurs, an error message will be displayed on screen, and you will be prompted to
run the setup program.
2.4 Installing System Software
Recent releases of operating systems from major vendors include setup programs
which load automatically and guide you through hard disk preparation and
operating system installation. The guidelines below will help you determine the
steps necessary to install your operating system on the AVAS hard drive.
Note! Some distributors and system integrators may have
already pre-installed system software prior to shipment of your AVAS-402.
If required, insert your operating system's installation or setup diskette into the
external diskette drive until the release button pops out.
The BIOS supports system boots up directly from the CD-ROM drive. You may
also insert your system installation CD-ROM disk into your external CD-ROM
drive.
Power on or reset the system by pressing the “Esc”or Del” key to boot into BIOS
menu and adjust the boot device sequence.
You can also press F7 key when booting; a bootable device popup menu will
appear, you can select bootable device that you want. AVAS-402 will
automatically load the operating system from the diskette or CD-ROM.

If you are presented with the opening screen of a setup or installation program,
follow the instructions on screen. The setup program will guide you through
preparation of your hard drive, and installation of the operating system.
2.5 Installing the Drivers
After installing your system software, you will be able to set up the Chipset,
Graphics, Ethernet, and Audio functions from your own external CD-ROM drive.
All the drivers can be downloaded via Advantech official website.
The standard automatic installation procedures for installing the Chipset,
Graphics, Audio, and Ethernet are described in Chapter 3.
Troubleshooting
When system behaves abnormally, such as:
1. Failure to power on
2. Failure to power off
3. AC power in and all switches ON, but system doesn't power on

Recommended Separation Distances Between
Portable and Mobile RF Communications Equipment and the AVAS-402
AVAS-402 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the model AVAS-212 can help
prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the model AVAS

-402 as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the
communications equipment.
