Chapter 1 Setting Up the ReadyBoard 700
ReadyBoard 700 QuickStart Guide 9
Applying Power to the ReadyBoard 700
13) Check/Set the Power
Supply Input Voltage
• If the ATX power supply or lab supply uses auto-ranging
operation at 50/60Hz, skip this step.
• Check the input voltage switch on the ATX power supply located
on the rear of the ATX power supply just below the power
connector.
The input voltage switch typically has two positions: 115 or 230
volts – 115 volts is default position.
14) Verify the Jumper Settings
• Check the jumper settings just in case a jumper has shifted during
shipping.
• Refer to Figure 1-4 for the jumper locations and the Table 1-1,
located at the end of this chapter for the default jumper settings.
15) Power up the
ReadyBoard 700
• Plug the CRT monitor’s power cord into an AC outlet and turn on
the monitor.
• Plug the ATX power supply’s power cord into the AC outlet.
• Turn the ATX power supply’s power switch to On.
• Press the Green Power-On switch connected to the Utility connector
(J18) before continuing.
16) Verify the ReadyBoard 700
powers-up satisfactorily
• Verify the ReadyBoard 700 passes POST successfully.
• If a bootable device, or the desired operating system is not loaded
on one of the boot devices (floppy drive or CD-ROM) prior to
power up, you will see an error message, “No bootable device
available,” near the end of the boot process. The boot process
stops until you intervene by selecting from the following options:
♦ Press R (or the Reset switch) to Reboot the system
♦ Press S (to enter BIOS Setup) for Setup, or skip to Step 17.
♦ Turn off the power switch on the ATX power supply, and/or…
♦ Connect a bootable device to the ReadyBoard 700, Reboot the
system, and then skip to Step 17.
NOTE Ampro does not recommend using a hard disk drive or CF
card with a preinstalled OS from another model computer
to boot the ReadyBoard 700. This has proven to cause
problems or provide unreliable operation. Use a bootable
device (floppy or CD-ROM) to install the desired OS and
drivers onto the hard drive (or CF), while still attached to
the ReadyBoard 700. Refer to Step 19.
NOTE For the most current BIOS Information, refer to the Hardware
Release Notes provided as hard copy in the shipping container.
17) Enter BIOS Setup.
• Press the <Del> key during POST, or S to enter BIOS Setup.
• Use BIOS Setup during the initial boot to set the desired options
(time and date, alter the boot order of the floppy drive, CD-ROM, or
hard disk drive, etc.).
• Refer to the next step to alter the boot sequence, while in Setup.
18) Alter Boot Order, only if
needed
• If you need to alter the boot sequence to select a bootable device,
perform the items listed in this step.
