PanelMate epro PS Family Restore Factory Image Load Introduction The restore factory image load kits provides a simple way for users to reset the load of the internal CompactFlash, that holds the Operating System (OS), to the factory installed image. This gives users a field-recovery method for Operating System problems. The restore factory image load kits are for use with the PanelMate epro PS models. These include the PanelMate epro PS, PanelMate epro PS Classic, PanelMate epro PS EE (Enterprise Edition), and PanelMate epro PS OD (Outdoor Series). Each version of the restore factory image load kit is to be used only on a specific PanelMate epro PS model, but you may restore as many units of that model as desired. You no longer need to purchase a separate restore kit for each unit you wish to restore back to the factory image. Throughout this document, epro PS refers to any model of the PanelMate epro PS family unless otherwise specified. Required Equipment Microsoft compatible USB keyboard Microsoft compatible USB mouse Ethernet network connection Restore CompactFlash Instructions for reloading the Operating System: 1. Remove power from the epro PS unit. 2. Remove all field-installed hardware such as PCMCIA cards, USB devices, Serial devices, Slave monitor connected to the VGA port of a display unit, or PCI cards. This will help avoid initialization errors during the Operating System build. 3. Install the Restore CompactFlash in the external CompactFlash connector. 4. Install a Microsoft compatible USB keyboard in one of the two USB 1.1 ports. Note: BIOS menu is only available via USB 1.1 ports. You may also optionally install a Microsoft compatible USB mouse in one of the unused USB ports. 5. Make sure the epro PS unit is connected over Ethernet or the network services will not be installed. 6. If you are restoring an epro PS Blind Node unit, make sure the display is connected to the VGA port and that the Touchscreen is plugged into serial port 2. 7. Apply power to the epro PS unit. During boot up, press the Delete key to enter the BIOS menu. Note: Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate BIOS menus. July 2005 Page 1 of 11 01-50609-01

21. The boot process will take anywhere from 5 to 12 minutes. During this time, the screen in Figure 6 should appear. The Operating System will be testing and searching out all installed hardware during this time period. If any field installed hardware was not removed at step 2 of this procedure, you may encounter errors. To resolve these errors you may need to remove the hardware and execute this procedure again.
