With the continuous development of industrial automation, industrial PCs have become essential equipment for industrial control. During the installation process, many people encounter the problem of how to correctly power on the industrial PC and which key to press. This article will explain in detail which key to press to power on an industrial PC during system installation.
Foreword
Industrial PCs have a more unique BIOS configuration compared to regular desktop computers, and sometimes the system doesn't boot from the hard drive by default after installation. Therefore, booting up correctly during system installation is crucial.
How to power on an industrial computer
Turn on the power
First, ensure that the power supply is connected to the industrial computer, and then turn on the power.
Press the DEL key
On the boot screen of an industrial PC, you'll be prompted to press a specific key to enter the BIOS settings. This key is usually the DEL key on the keyboard. The DEL key is generally located in the upper right corner of the keyboard and may have a DEL symbol on it.
Enter BIOS setup interface
If everything is normal, pressing the DEL key will cause the industrial control computer to continue booting and enter the BIOS setup interface. In the BIOS setup interface, users can configure important computer parameters such as hardware devices and boot order.
Set up the boot disk
Before installing the system, you need to insert the boot disk into the industrial computer. In the BIOS setup interface, find the "Boot" tab and enter the boot settings.
Then select "First Boot Device," locate the desired boot disk, and set it as the first boot option. You can press F10 to save the settings and exit.
Install system
After completing the "complete" step in the BIOS settings, you can install the system. At this point, it's the same as a regular computer: select "Boot from boot disk" on the industrial control computer with the boot disk plugged in, and then follow the installation program's prompts.
in conclusion
Properly powering on the industrial PC is crucial during the system installation process. While the BIOS settings may vary slightly between industrial PCs, the basic procedure is similar. Pressing the DEL key correctly will enter the BIOS setup interface. Then, set the boot disk, enter the system installation interface, and the installation of the industrial PC will be completed smoothly.
