Start and runup behaviour

After installing the BEETLE /iPOS, plug in the mains power cord and switch

on the POS system using the ON/OFF button on the front panel.

The system first performs an automatic self-test to test its basic functions.

For example, you may see the following message (irrespective of processor

type) on the four-line cashier display or on the monitor:

xx/xx is the place holder of the BIOS version number

The system then determines the medium from which the operating system

and POS application are to be booted. Each medium is assigned a logical

drive according to the configuration of your BEETLE /iPOS.

The following media can be assigned a drive:

n Disk

n Network

n Hard disk

n CD ROM

The logical drives are designated A:, B:, C: and D:.

If the system is to be booted from disk, this medium must always be assig

ned drive A:. The network is always assigned to the C: drive during the ru

nup procedure. The hard disk can be assigned to the C: or D: drive. The

system can only be started from the hard disk if the disk has been configu

red as the C: drive.

can be booted from the following drives:
