| How Do I Install Windows 7? |
|
This article will walk you through a fresh Windows 7 installation. If you are unsure if your model will support Windows 7, please run the attached Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. Before you begin, be sure you have already completed the following tasks -
- Back up your data; the most common forms of crucial data include e-mail messages, address books, the My Documents folder, any files saved to the desktop, bookmarks/favorites, and anything else deemed important.
- Make sure any external devices (printer, scanner, etc) are unplugged. The obvious devices that should remain plugged in include your monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
When you are ready to begin, refer to the following steps. They will walk you through the process of partitioning your hard drive, installing the OS, and setting up Windows XP. This process may take 30-90 minutes. Your system will restart automatically several times during this process; the PC should otherwise not be turned off or restarted.
- Set up your PC to boot from CD; if you do not know how to do this, please refer to the manual for your specific model. Manuals can be downloaded from our website. The setting will be located in the unit's BIOS menu.
- Insert the Windows 7 CD.
- When prompted, press any key to continue.
- After Windows 7 Setup begins, confirm that the settings for Language, Time, Currency and Keyboard Method are accurate, then click Next.
- On the Windows 7 Installation page, click Install Now.
- Review the terms and click I accept the license terms to proceed.
- Once the 'Which type of installation do you want?' window appears, choose Custom (advanced).
- When the 'Where do you want to install Windows' option appears, select the largest Primary Partition and choose Next to continue. If the Primary partition has not been created and/or there are 0GB free, there should be an option for Unallocated Space. Highlight Unallocated Space and choose Next.
- The next few screens offer customized options for Windows 7; please set these as you would prefer.
- When the Product Key window appears, enter the product identification code for your license and click Next.
- Once the desktop appears, Windows 7 will be installed. You will now need to install your model's drivers in the following order, being sure to reboot between each step. Windows 7 drivers can be downloaded from our website.

There are many reasons why a mini PC may require troubleshooting. If upgrades are to be completed to the mini PC, the end user may wish to contact Technical Support for assistance. If a user is trying to upgrade the memory installed in their all-in-one PC, for example, it would be wise to ensure the correct memory is used to avoid conflicts or other issues arising.
The medical grade all-in-one computer is built to keep liquids and other healthcare related mess out of the small PC. The design may imply to some that it is a difficult matter to reach the inside of the mini PC, and a call to Cybernet Support Representatives will alleviate this concern.
If an iOne-GX31 has been plugged in incorrectly, the mini PC could fail to start. A power safety feature is built into the iOne-GX31 to keep the small PC from being damaged to electrical shock. Though mentioned in the manual and a label on the mini PC external power supply, this fact can sometimes be overlooked. Therefore a contact to Cybernet’s support department is required to clarify this issue for the client. The goal of our Support Team is to troubleshoot any mini PC issue until all options are exhausted. At that time the small PC would then be authorized for repair.
Because Cybernet utilizes the latest advances in small PC technology, we take pride in the reliable technical support offered. Our knowledge base is available to assist with issues pertaining to our All-in-One PC family. For any questions or concerns about our mini PC products, Technical Support Representatives may be reached via telephone, online chat or email.
Should your mini PC need to be sent in for repair, we guarantee fast turn-around times to minimize delays to your operation. When a small PC is returned to Cybernet, it is serviced and subjected to the same thorough testing as a new All-in-One PC would be.
