Configuring the operating system
Note
Requirements for initial start-up
Before switching on the computer for the first time, check that the equipotential bonding is
connected and that all connecting cables are plugged in correctly. Also check that a USB
keyboard and a USB mouse are connected to the PC.
When the computer starts up for the first time, the Windows 2000 / Windows XP Professional
operating system on the hard disk is configured automatically. Proceed as follows:
1. Connect the device to the power supply. The PC performs a self-test (POST). During the
self-test, this message appears:
Press <F2> to enter SETUP or <ESC> to display the boot menu
2. Wait until the 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.
