3. Technical Information

3.1 BIOS Setup

The PowerBrick-CV uses the Phoenix TrustedCore BIOS which based on the Intel® Core™ Duo, Core 2 Duo, Celeron™ M processors and Intel mobile 945GM Express and ICH7-M chipsets. With high performance and integrated audio and video capabilities. And also it is designed for extended environmental temperature operation up to 70ºC, so it is ideal for use in space-constrained systems and high-temperature environments.

The system BIOS performs a Power On Self Test (POST) upon power on or reset. If problems are encountered during POST, the following may occur:

ƒ

A warning message is displayed on the primary display device but the boot process continues.

ƒ

The system is halted when a terminal (fatal) POST error occurs.

Before shutting down the system, however, the error handler will attempt to communicate the cause of the error condition, by writing the error to port 80h, sounding a beep code, and listing the error code on the display.

After POST completes, the system BIOS will search for boot devices in the order configured by the BIOS setup utility and load the operating system from the first boot device found. To activate BIOS setup program, press <F2>key immediately after you turn on the system. Table 3.1 is the

BIOS setup utility menu map.

3.2 Operating Systems

The PowerBrick-CV will generally be provided with a preinstalled operating system such as Windows XP Professional or Embedded. To restore the operating system, follow the procedure outlined in 3.4. You can also use an external CD-ROM drive to change, reinstall or repair the operating system through a USB 2.0 port.

3.3. Operating System Restore Process

1. Back up your existing drive C:\ files.

2. Restart the computer.

3. Hold down the F8 key to enter Windows Advanced Boot Menu options.

4. Select “Return to OS Choices” and press “Enter”.

5. Select “Quick Restore Option”, press “Enter” and follow the instructions.

6. After re-boot, click on “Touch screen” in the “Restore drivers and software” window and follow the instructions.

3.4 Windows XP Embedded

If you want to reinstall Windows XP Embedded, boot the computer, place the CD-ROM labeled “Windows XP Embedded Recovery” into the external

CD-ROM drive, press RESET and follow the instructions on the screen.

We recommend that this be done by experienced computer users only.
