Chapter 2 System Setup
2.3 Running the BIOS Setup Program
In most cases, the computer will have been setup and configured by the dealer or SI
prior to delivery. However, some of the computer's BIOS (Basic Input-Output System)
setup programs may need adjustment to set the system configuration data, such as
the current date and time, or type of hard drive installed. The setup program is stored
in read-only memory (ROM) and can be accessed when activating or resetting the
computer, or by pressing “Delete” immediately after powering up the computer.
2.4 Installing System Software
Recent releases of operating systems by major vendors include setup programs that
load automatically and guide users through the entire installation process. The steps
necessary to install an operating system on the computer hard drive are explained
below.
If necessary, insert the OS CD into the diskette until the release button pops up.
The system BIOS supports bootup directly from the USB-CDROM drive. Users can
insert the OS CD directly into the USB-CDROM drive.
Power on the computer, or reset the system by pressing “Ctrl” + “Alt” + “Del” simulta-
neously.
Select Boot->Boot Configuration->Operation System Select to install the correct
OS.
After clicking “Save & Exit”, the computer will automatically load the operating system
from the diskette or USB-CDROM drive.
Note! Some distributors and system integrators may have preinstalled system
software before shipping the computer.
