To boot up the system, connect the power source to the power input located on the computer’s rear panel. It

takes about 5 seconds for the system to boot up. You will hear a clear “BEEP” sound when the boot up

procedure is finished. Once the system is ready, the “Ready” LED will light up and stay on until you shut down

the computer.

Computer

Warm-Start: When powering on, push the “Reset” button briefly (for less than1 second). The computer will

reboot automatically.

Cold-Start: Switch the power off and then on again. The computer will reboot automatically.

Reset to Factory Defaults (Configuration only): If the computer is not working properly and you would like

to reset it to factory default settings, press and hold the “Reset” button for 5 seconds as the operating system

is starting up. The buzzer sounds while the factory default settings are being loaded. After the factory default

to the Boot Loader and format the flash storage. Once the flash storage has been reformatted, restart the

computer.

crashed. This function allows users to format the file system and reboot the UC-8410/8416/8418/8430.
