Rockwell Automation 6155 Industrial Computer Installation - Manual (Page 14)

Using USB
System Reset
To boot up the system:
1. Apply power to the computer. The 6155 Computer performs a
Power On Self Test (POST) in which it tests the processor board,
memory, keyboard, and certain peripheral devices.
2. The 6155 Computer displays the progress of the POST and
initialization of accessory devices.
3. If your system does not boot up, or you notice other problems, refer
to Chapter 5, System Troubleshooting.
4. The 6155 Computer will then display the startup dialogs for the
operating system that has been installed. If no software is installed,
the following prompt is displayed:
Insert bootable media in the appropriate
drive.
To reset the 6155 Computer, press [Ctrl] [Alt] [Delete] on an attached
keyboard and follow the operating system instructions.
After resetting, the 6155 Computer will begin the Power On Self Test
(POST). During reset, the 6155 Computer:
• Clears RAM
• Starts the POST
• Initializes peripheral devices, such as drives and printers
• Loads the operating system (if installed)
The 6155 Computer has two USB connectors.
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an external bus standard that
supports data transfer rates of 12Mbps (12 million bits per second). A
single USB port can connect multiple peripheral devices, such as mice,
modems, and keyboards. USB also supports Plug-and-Play installation
and hot plugging.
For more information on installing or using USB, refer to the
documentation for your USB peripheral device.
Note: Many USB devices only work with Windows 98 or
Windows 2000, because these operating systems have
native USB drivers. Make sure the selected USB peripheral
has software drivers available for your target operating
system.
