3.1. Powering Up
The following text describes the necessary
items for powering up your IDS system.
You may update the BIOS using the Dongle
(shown in Figure 3-1).
Initial Screen - DOS or Linux
When you first power up the system, you will
be prompted to type "Dos" or "Linux" to boot
into either environment. To run the VxWorks
or Windows CE demos, boot to DOS.
Using DOS

support for the CD-ROM drive. To fix this, see
‘Using CD ROM Drive from DOS’ on page 23).
