7.2 Commissioning - Windows Embedded Standard 2009
7.2.1 Basic commissioning - initial startup
Requirements
● The device is connected to the 24 VDC power supply.
● Equipotential bonding is connected.
● The cables are correctly plugged in.
Configuring the operating system
When the computer is started with the power switch for the first time, the
Windows Embedded Standard 2009 operating system on the Compact Flash card or hard
disk is configured automatically.
Proceed as follows:
1. Switch the device on using the On/Off switch. The PC performs a self-test (POST).
During the self-test, this message appears:
Press F2 go to Setup Utility or
Press ESC go to Boot Manager
2. Wait until this message is cleared, then follow the instructions on the screen.
NOTICE
The device may not be switched off at any time during the installation process.
Do not change the default BIOS settings, otherwise the operating system setup may
become corrupted.
3. Restart
After you have entered all the necessary information and the operating system is
configured, you are prompted to restart the system. Respond to this prompt with Yes.
Note
System startup can take considerably longer than usual for the initial commissioning.
Only a blue or black screen is displayed for several minutes.
When you switch on the PC now, the logon window or the user interface of the
Windows Embedded Standard 2009 operating system is automatically opened when the
startup routine is completed.
Note
To prevent data loss, it is advisable to create an image of your system partition after initial
commissioning.
