SECTION 1
Introduction
6640/6650 Computer
" NOTE:
Tool icons are shown to the left of related menu options.
The 6640/6650 Computer is a ruggedized, ergonomic, battery-powered, touchbased computer, with input from finger touch, pen, keyboard, or scanner. It has
integrated communications and various combinations of external and internal
peripherals. It is designed for a mobile environment.
Batteries
The computer contains a rechargeable lithium ion (Li ION) main battery pack
and a smaller rechargeable Li ION backup battery.
If the computer is turned off at normal room temperature, a discharged battery
takes about three hours to fully recharge. About 70% of the charge is completed
within the first hour.
If the computer is turned on at normal room temperature, recharging may take
slightly longer.
In extreme temperatures, charging may not happen. The battery temperature
must be between 0_ and 55_ C for it to charge. Once outside this range, the battery will not charge.
BIOS
The computer is shipped with an upgradeable BIOS firmware (PhoenixBIOS
V4.06). See page 4-32 for details about FLASH40.EXE.
Display
A backlit, liquid crystal, touch-sensitive, 800x600 resolution display, consisting of
either 10.4” all-light-readable color SVGA, or 9.8” monochrome SVGA is featured. Backlight features Cold Cathode Florescent Lamp (CCFL) with brightness control. The touch panel is of the capacitive type that does not require a
battery, although the pen does have to be tethered.
The panel uses a technology that allows finger or pen input. The special pen
shipped with the computer provides electrical signals to the computer, any other
pen will not work. If you wear gloves and touch the panel, the panel will not recognize your finger. Pointing accuracy is much better with the pen.
External Power
External power is available through an AC/DC power adapter, a cigarette lighter
adapter, or a vehicle system. This allows the computer to be operated from standard electrical outlets and allows the computer battery to recharge whether the
computer is on or off.
Flash
There are 2 MB of flash memory to hold the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS);
this memory is not available to the system or the application programs.

SECTION 1
Introduction
FAT32 to NTFS
The default Windows 2000 load for the 6640/6650 Computer is formatted using
FAT32. CONVERT.EXE is a Microsoft utility that ships with Windows 2000 and
can convert a drive from FAT32 to NTFS. Use this utility with caution, as once
the drive is converted to NTFS, it cannot be reversed back to FAT32.
1. From the Windows desktop, select Start " Run, type “CMD” in the Open
field, then click OK to continue.
2. At the prompt, type VOL to view the volume label of the drive being converted.
3. Type Convert C: /FS:NTFS Note that C: can be any valid drive letter.
4. Enter the volume label of the drive to be converted as displayed in step 2.
5. If prompted, enter “Y” to have the conversion scheduled for the next system
reboot.
See the README.TXT file in the “\Docs” folder on the Toolkit CD #1 for additional information about this process.
Floppy Drives
Two floppy drive types are supported: Universal Serial Bus (USB) and Parallel.
No two drive types can be active at the same time. For example, the computer
can be set to use the USB floppy drive, but the parallel drive cannot be used simultaneously. Following is an explanation of each of the drive types and how to
configure the system to use them.
USB Floppy Drive
The USB floppy drive works with both DOS and Windows operating systems. In
DOS, BIOS is responsible for detecting and initializing the drive. When Windows loads, it takes over this responsibility.
Another difference is that for DOS to access the drive, the USB floppy drive must
be attached when the 6640/6650 Computer is turned on. This is because the
BIOS, during POST, must be able to detect the drive and its type and then initialize the system to use it. The floppy drive cannot be attached while the computer is booting or already booted. Windows, on the other hand, can detect and
initialize the floppy drive at any time. The USB floppy drive may be configured
in one of two modes for access at DOS.
Bootable (Drive A: in DOS)
Configure the USB floppy as the bootable drive A: using the PhoenixBIOS Setup
Utility. Complete instructions on using this utility are in Section 2.
1. Reboot the computer, then enter the PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility when
prompted.
2. Go to the Diskette A option under the Main option and change the floppy
drive type to “USB Floppy.”
3. Save changes and exit the utility. This automatically reboots the computer.
When the system boots, it will attempt to use the USB floppy drive to boot the
system in the same way as it would a standard floppy drive. Whether the system boots from the USB floppy drive, access the USB floppy drive as drive A: as
long as you are in DOS mode or running Windows 2000. Windows 98 will refer
to this drive as D:.
1-3
SECTION 1
Introduction
Nonbootable (Drive B: in DOS)
Configure the USB floppy as drive B: using the PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility.
Complete instructions on using this utility are in Section 2.
1. Reboot the computer, then enter the PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility when
prompted.
2. Go to the Diskette A option under the Main option and change the floppy
drive type to “1.44MB, 3 1/2.”
3. Save changes and exit the utility. This automatically reboots the computer.
When the system boots, it will not attempt to use the USB floppy drive to boot
the system in the same way as it would a standard floppy drive. The USB floppy
drive will show up as drive B: as long as you are in DOS mode. Once you are in
Windows 2000, the drive will be called A: again. If you run Windows 98 on this
system the drive will be changed to D:. The advantage of this is that you can allow the system to boot into Windows while there is a floppy in the drive.
Parallel Floppy Drive
" NOTE:
Note that the parallel port connector on the full feature docks does not support operation with
a parallel floppy disk drive.
To use the parallel drive, attach it to the parallel port on the computer’s I/O panel and boot normally. Be sure that a USB floppy drive is not attached. Also, the
Diskette A: option under the Menu option in the PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility
should be set to “1.44 MB, 3½.” The parallel floppy is bootable and accessible,
from both DOS and Windows operating systems, as if it were a standard floppy
drive. Its drive letter will not change.
Hard Drives
The hard disk drive may either be a laptop 2.5”, standard IDE drive, or a Solid
State 2.5” IDE drive, and is located next to the two PC Card slots.
Memory
64 MB of RAM is the minimum amount of RAM needed for Windows 2000. To
enhance the performance of Windows 2000, expand the memory to 128 MB of
RAM.
PC Card Slots
The two PC Card slots, or CardBus slots, accessible through the side access door,
can each accept one Type II PC Card. The slot farthest from the display can accept one Type III card. One Type II card and one Type III card can be used simultaneously.
Pen
The default function of the pen is the left mouse button, or left clicks. To switch
to the right-click operation, press and hold the button on the pen, then tap the
screen.

SECTION 1
Introduction
Dock Connections
Two basic dock accessories are used for the computer: the office (single) dock and
the vehicle dock. Custom versions of these docks may be created for customer
requirements. Two additional full-featured docks are also available, one for the
mobile and vehicle environment, and the other for the desktop.
I/O Panel
Some of the features that can be selected on the I/O panel are defined on the following pages.
Keyboard
The 6-pin Mini-DIN connector directly supports PS/2 through an adapter cable
or PC AT keyboards. Keyboard signals are available on the docking connector to
permit the use of an external keyboard when the computer is docked.
Network
A 10BaseT Ethernet connection is available through the dock or I/O panel.
Parallel Port
The LPT1 Printer Port is an enhanced parallel port with a 25-pin (DB-25) female
D-sub for connecting parallel devices such as a printer or storage device to the
computer. This is available on the full-featured single docks or the I/O panel.
Serial Port
A 9-pin D-sub connector which is available as COM1 on the dock. Another 9-pin
D-sub connector, COM2, is on some versions of the I/O panel.
USB Connector
Each computer has one USB port located near the external power input connector. Separate USB ports are available on the docks.
Tips for Getting Started
As you develop applications for the computer (or port existing applications), note
the following:
" Windows 2000 is the operating system. If experienced with Windows 2000,
you can develop or port applications.
" Become familiar with the tools and techniques for power management.
Monitoring the state of battery power and using the suspend/resume feature is a critical function.
" When developing for pen input, note that interpreting handwriting is still a
developing field; accuracy is not at 100 percent. Interpreting and storing
results puts an additional load on the processor. Excessive use of handwriting recognition software can slow down a speedy application. Instead, use
buttons, item lists, and pull-down menus for common tasks.
" When designing a pencentric interface, use the SVGA screen area to make
buttons, pull-down menus, text entry fields, and etc. large enough for easy,
accurate use in a mobile or high-pressure environment.
" Make applications drive-independent. Do not hard-code drive designations.
Use available PC Card storage solutions and note that devices can be
moved about as required by different configurations. PC Card slots accept
flash, hard disk devices, RF devices, radio or Local Area Network (LAN)
modems, and other devices.
" Note the general system design of the target computer, such as the file system (FAT32 in NTFS), size of hard drive (660 MB SanDisk, 12 GB hard
drive, etc.), or an SVGA screen.

" A diskette drive or a type of PC Card storage media for transferring files.
Set Up for PC Development
" NOTE:
Keep the computer on charge while performing setup. See Section 2 for BIOS setup options.
The following is a general approach for equipment setup:
1. Connect power to the dock, install the main battery, and insert the computer into the dock.
2. As the boot process is started, a beep signal will be emitted. One beep is a
normal boot. Two or more beeps indicate a BIOS error. If there are four
beeps, a CMOS error was detected but a back up copy of CMOS was successfully retrieved from flash, no further action is needed.
" To correct a CMOS error using an external keyboard:

SECTION 1
Introduction
Windows 2000
One of the major benefits of the open-system approach is that you can acquire
development equipment and software from many different vendors, including
Intermec Technologies Corporation. This provides you with greater flexibility in
selecting equipment and software tools best suited to your particular development needs. The challenge lies in finding pieces that work well together, especially when you are working with communications and interfaces.
If you have Windows programming experience, you will feel comfortable with
this computer platform.
The computer can run any mouse-aware Windows application.
Visual C++ or Borland C++ for Windows
Microsoft Visual C++ or Borland C++ for Windows are tools for experienced C
Windows programmers. The Foundation Class Libraries or the Object Windows
Library can be used; just watch for space limitations because they are statically
linked. Windows programs, in general, grow to a large size quickly and can require a lot of extra DLLs, OCXs, or VBXs.
Borland’s C compiler includes a utility called TDUMP. You can run TDUMP on
an executable file to display the files or libraries called by the executable.
Visual Basic for Windows
Microsoft Visual Basic (VB) for Windows, is a tool that lends itself to quick creation of prototype screens for customer demonstrations and reviews. It includes
screen drawing plus an easy method for inserting code to control the application.
However, if frequently used forms are not preloaded, screen drawing may be
slow. Also, supporting the data-aware controls consumes a lot of memory. VB
can handle a large number of databases, including dBase, Access, Paradox, and
Foxpro. It also handles ASCII and text files.
When you encounter a Visual Basic program, you should be aware of the following two common requirements.
"
"
Files with the VBX and OCX extensions are Visual Basic custom controls.
These files support common features (such as command buttons, list boxes,
pen edit boxes, data-aware controls, etc.) that are frequently seen in Windows applications. They are shipped with the application requiring them.
Programs written in Visual Basic V4.0 can be compiled for 16-bit or 32-bit
mode, depending on installation. Visual Basic 5.0 is 32-bit mode only.
Pen for Windows 2.0
Microsoft Pen for Windows 2.0 is the standard pen application and consists of
standard Windows with extra files, some changes to SYSTEM.INI, and a new
PENWIN.INI file. A PenX (Pen Recognition software) version for Windows 2000
is not available from CIC, but should become available in the near future.

SECTION 1
Introduction
Other Environments
Any development environment that runs on Windows 2000 may be used to develop software for the computer. Not all development environments work as well
and are not recommended due to the storage capacity and speed limitations of
the computer.
How much space is required?
Many environments assume that the target machine is a desktop or laptop with
virtually unlimited hard drive space. This may not be so if the target system is
to run from Solid State drives. Note the storage requirements during development. For example, Power Builder uses over 3 MB of DLLs in addition to Windows just to run “Hello World.”
The 6640 Computer uses a 266 MHz MMX Pentium processor. The 6650 Compuer uses a 333 MHz PII Pentium processor. Test your application performance
on a similar computer.

Use a DOS boot disk to access DOS. Windows 2000 does not “boot to DOS.”
Hotkeys (or virtual screen keys) are functional in both DOS and Windows. Keys
arranged across the bottom of the computer display are examples of hotkeys.
These hotkeys enable you to have functional keys without having to use an
external keyboard. These functional keys can then be activated using your pen
or fingertip.
Using applications, Windows hotkeys can be programmed to simulate an
external keyboard action, such as pressing and releasing [Esc]. Below are
instructions for both DOS and Windows hotkeys.
DOS Hotkeys
DOS hotkeys are accessible at DOS and in the Windows boot menu (accessed by
tapping the “Battery” hotkey during a bootup). Tapping the “Battery” hotkey is
the same as pressing [F8] on the keyboard, which also accesses the boot menu.
Windows Boot Menu
Wait for the message “Double tap the pen to enter SETUP” during a reboot.
Immediately after this message leaves the screen and before a beep is emitted,
start slowly tapping the “Battery” hotkey to access the boot menu. You may
have to do this several times before being successful.
DOS Virtual Keys
The following virtual keys are listed with their button assignments for DOS.
These are not programmable and retain their values regardless of how they may
be reprogrammed in Windows.

SECTION 3
Windows Hotkeys
" NOTE:
Desktop icons are shown to the left.
KEYALIGN.EXE can be found in the “C:\WINNT” and “C:\PENINST” folders.
From the Windows desktop (of a default load), double-click the keyalign
shortcut icon to access the Windows Hotkey alignment utility.
Hotkey Alignment Utility
KEYALIGN.EXE is the executable for the Windows Hotkey alignment utility.
This reconfigures hotkeys, adds new hotkeys, and removes, redefines, or realigns
existing hotkeys as needed for the touch panel.
KeyName
The name assigned to the hotkey. Click the drop-down button or use any of the
arrow keys to select from the existing hotkeys. The information for that hotkey
then appears in this window.
Top Left
The X,Y raw touch panel coordinates that define the top, left corner of the hotkey.
Bottom Right
The X,Y raw touch panel coordinates that define the bottom, right corner of the
hotkey.
Typematic
If “Yes,” then this hotkey can simulate multiple keystrokes as it is held down. If
“No,” then one keystroke is performed, even when held down.
KeySequence
Shows the keystrokes the hotkey will simulate.
Alignment
Shows the current location of the hotkey on the physical display, including the
watermarks. For example, “Bottom” for the “F1” through “F4” keys, the suspend
keys, and the brightness and contrast keys placed at the bottom of the display.
Change
Accesses a dialog that changes the name, sequence, alignment, or typematic status of a hotkey. Go to page 3-4 to learn more about this dialog.
3-2
SECTION 3
" NOTE:
To quit the Align Hotkey screen without setting coordinates, press [Enter] or [Esc] on the
external keyboard. Do not touch the display to press Cancel (via the pen or your finger) as
this touch will be assumed to be a coordinate assignment.
Align
Accesses the Align Hotkey screen to calibrate the coordinates of the selected
hotkey. When assigning the coordinates, go to the area on the display where the
hotkey is to be assigned. The hotkey can be placed anywhere on the display,
even inside the left, right, or top borders, or above the existing hotkeys on the
bottom of the display.
The circles on the Align Hotkey screen indicate which corner (x,y coordinate) to
set for the hotkey. Remember that the screen itself is not located where the
hotkey is to be located.
AlignAll
Aligns all the hotkeys in the hotkey list. The order in which the hotkeys are
aligned is in the same order as when the hotkeys were created.
New
Accesses a dialog to create a new hotkey with a name, sequence, alignment, and
typematic status. See page 3-7 to create a hotkey.
Delete
Select a hotkey from the KeyName list to be removed, then click Delete. There
is no verification for this deletion, so use this button with caution.
Test All
Tests all existing hotkeys and assigns either “Passed” or “FAILED” to each. The
following appears with a hotkey to be tested. Press each hotkey as the test progresses. You have three chances with each hotkey, if the first press was inaccurate. Note that if you click Cancel, the hotkey in question is considered
“FAILED.”
3-3
SECTION 3
When done, another box appears with all the hotkeys tested and their results.
Click Done to quit.
Change/New Dialog
The following dialog creates a new hotkey or edits an existing hotkey. Click either Change or New from the Hotkey Alignment screen to access this dialog.
KeyName (Required)
Assign a name to the hotkey. There are no restrictions how the hotkey can be
named. A name is required or this hotkey will not be created.
KeySequence
Lists the keys to be stuffed into the keyboard buffer for this hotkey. Note, for
hotkey commands or special keys (except for the contrast and brightness hotkeys), for every action, there should be a reaction. Thus, assign a key with a
plus (+) to “press” a key, then assign the same key with a minus (–) to “release”
that key, for example:
“(alt+)(tab+)(tab–)(alt–)”
Use parentheses to separate each key. Spaces between parentheses are optional.
Alignment
Assigns one of five groups: “Top,” “Bottom,” “Left,” “Right,” or “None.” These
groups categorize the placement of the hotkey on the display and make assumptions about the hotkey based on the placements.
Bottom
A single row of hotkeys along the bottom of the display. All these hotkeys
are aligned to be as tall as the tallest hotkey and extend to the bottom of
the display.
3-4
SECTION 3
Top
A single row of hotkeys along the top of the display. All these hotkeys are
aligned to reach as low as the lowest hotkey and extend to top of the display.
Left
A single row of hotkeys along the left side of the display. All these hotkeys
are aligned to reach as far right as the rightmost hotkey in the group and
extend to the left of the display.
Right
A single row of hotkeys along the right side of the display. All these hotkeys are aligned to reach as far left as the leftmost hotkey in the group and
extend to right of the display.
None
No assumptions made. The coordinates are not adjusted.
Typematic
Check this box to have this hotkey simulate multiple keystrokes as it is held
down, such as the <Del> key on the keyboard. Leave this box blank to have the
hotkey do one keystroke.
Hotkey Commands
The following list contains hotkey commands (or sequences) used to create hotkeys. Thus, to create a Page Up button, use “(PageUp+)(PageUp–”). Most of
these hotkeys are self-explanatory.
A hotkey can be named like these commands, such as “Alt,” to simulate an <Alt>
key, use “(Alt+)(Alt–).” To have the keyboard type “A,” “L,” and “T,” use “ALT,”
otherwise the parameter help defines a key as a hotkey.

Registry HotKey Values
The following values are in the registry for the hotkeys:
Registry Entries:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\6640Pen
HotkeysEnabled REG_BINARY(BYTE)
0-Disabled, 1-Enabled
TypematicRate REG_DWORD
BrightStep
REG_DWORD
[1–255]
ContrastStep
REG_DWORD
[1–255]
EnableWM
REG_DWORD
[BitMasks 0|1|2|4|8 or combination]
DisablePenButton REG_DWORD
[0/1]
InputMode
REG_SZ
[PO/FO/PF]
HotkeysEnabled
This value is currently stored in a registry key and defines if the virtual screen
keys functionality is turned on.
TypematicRate
This defines the number of penpackets to be received, before a hotkey is considered pressed. If the value is high, the rate at which the keys are repeated (when
the pen pressed on the same key) is low. If the value is low, the rate of repetition
is high. The default TypematicRate value is “5” if this entry is left blank.
BrightStep, ContrastStep
These are step values for incrementing and decrementing brightness and contrast. Set these to any value between 1–255. The default value is “5” if these
entries are left blank.
EnableWM
This is a bitmask that specifies which of the four water marks, Bottom [1],
Right [2], Top [4], or Left [8], are enabled. When any watermark is enabled:
The hotkey in that region should be present outside the watermark, thus
avoiding interference with the display area.
" The watermark defines the “dead zone.” All area below the bottom watermark, above the top watermark, to the left of the left watermark, and to
the right of the right watermark is considered dead zone, meaning any pen
touch in that area does not affect the cursor.
DisablePenButton
This either enables [1] or disables [0] the button found on your pen. If enabled,
you can use the pen button to do right-click functions.
"
InputMode
This string value is the initialization string sent to the MicroTouch touch screen
controller when the pen drivers are loaded. Valid values are: “PO” (Pen Only),
“FO” (Finger Only), or “PF” (Pen and Finger). This lets you enable or disable the
pen or finger input on the control panel.
" NOTE:
3-6
The InputMode stays in the controller until set to a new value.
SECTION 3
Creating a Hotkey
Below is an example of how to create a new hotkey. For this demonstration, you
will create an “edit” hotkey that acts like typing an “edit” command in a DOS
box, then pressing the [Enter] key on the external keyboard.
1. From the Windows desktop, select Start " Run to access the Run window
and click Browse to find, then run KEYALIGN.EXE to access the Hotkey
Alignment window (page 3-2).
2. Click New to access the change/new dialog (see page 3-4).
3. Type “edit” in KeyName, then press <Tab> to move to the next field.
4. Enter “edit (enter+)(enter–)” in KeySequence to simulate the [Enter] key,
then press <Tab> to move to the next field.
5. Select a different group. Click <Tab> to move to the Typematic check box.
6. Check Typematic if for this hotkey to simulate multiple keystrokes.
Click OK to quit and assign the new hotkey to the list. Be sure to align the position of the new hotkey.

SECTION 4
Bootable Network Cloning Diskette
The image on the Toolkit CD is a standard image for anyone that orders the
Toolkit CD. Images may be installed on units that already have applications and
custom configurations loaded. Thus, order the toolkit CD plus the Custom imaging package that contains PowerQuest’s Drive Image Pro (PQDI). This would
install the standard image on one computer, then applications can be installed
and settings can be changed. Then use PQDI to create a custom image. Once
the custom image is created, the custom image, applications, and settings can be
installed on other, similar computers at that time.
PQDI captures the entire content of a drive partition and stores it in a PQI file.
When PQDI restores the partition to a drive, the drive must have enough free
space available for the partition to fit. This is so PQDI can expand a partition to
fill the remaining free space, because PQDI cannot shrink a partition.
When choosing a computer to create a custom image, choose one with the smallest hard drive. This ensures that the image fits without problems; or use PowerQuest’s Partition Magic to shrink the main partition before using PQDI to create
the image.
The Network Cloning Diskette option creates one floppy diskette. This diskette
can create and restore PQI files. To create the custom image for cloning:
1. If the server name (computer name) is unknown, select Start " Settings
" Control Panel, then double-click the System desktop icon to access
System Properties. Click the Network Identification tab and note the

This section defines several ways to do system recoveries on the computer. The
components needed for a recovery procedure are available in the toolkit. Contact
an Account Executive for information.
The computer uses third-party software from PowerQuest
(http://www.powerquest.com) along with MS-DOS networking for system recovery. Software from PowerQuest stores and restores the entire contents of a hard
drive to and from a single file.
" NOTE:
A Replication Kit, available from Intermec Technologies Corporation, has the Professional
DriveImage application. Contact your Account Executive for information.
Each toolkit CD contains the factory-installed hard drive image created specifically for the 6640/6650 Computer using software from PowerQuest. The image
is located in the “\images” folder on either toolkit CD.
Assumptions
The following assumptions are made prior to conducting a system recovery:
"
"
"
"
Reimaging a system destroys all existing partitions and data.
When reimaging a system, the main partition will expand to fill all remaining free space.
The main partition cannot be resized smaller. In other words, if the partition was 500 MB when stored into the “PQI” image file, it can only go on a
drive with at least 500 MB of free space.
Modifications can be made to the recovery process only if it is fully
understood. Follow the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT trail for
self-documenting batch files, and refer to the “PQDI” documentation for
more details.
Required Components
These components are required for a system recovery using a shared location:
" 6640/6650 Computer (to be recovered)
" Ethernet Cables and Hub (such as a LINKSYS 5-Port Workgroup Hub)
" Recovery Toolkit CD-ROM
" Host computer on the network with a shared CD-ROM drive
" Bootable floppy drive
" 1.44 MB diskette

SECTION 6
Recovery Procedures
If creating a bootable network cloning disk using PQDI (PowerQuest Drive
Image) for multiple custom imaging, the following additional components are required:
"
"
PQDI Software Package
Writable location on the host computer and target computer to store the
image of the hard drive
BIOS Recovery Procedure
The 6640/6650 Firmware will occasionally be updated by Intermec Technologies
Corporation. These updates may include bug fixes or enhancements to the system. See page 4-30 to create a BIOS recovery diskette, then return here for instructions on using this diskette.
Boot the 6640 Computer or the 6650 Computer with this diskette. Click Update
to initiate the update. The system will automatically reboot the unit when done.
Once you return to the desktop, click Abort to complete the update.
Firmware Update Floppy (Manual Method)
To manually create a bootable floppy disk, copy the FLASH40.EXE,
SAVECMOS.EXE, and SAVECMOS.DAT and either of the following files from
the “\Firmware\Bios” directory on the Toolkit CD #1:
BIOS.ROM (for 6640 Computers only)
" P2BIOS.ROM (for 6650 Computers only)
Copy the 6640EC.MOT and H8FLASH.EXE files from the “\Firmware\h8” directory on the Toolkit CD #1. Boot the system with the floppy. At the A:\
prompt, do these commands in the following order. The system will automatically reboot after the update is complete.
"
FLASH40 –b BIOS.ROM (6640)
SAVECMOS –r
H8FLASH
-- OR --
FLASH40 –b P2BIOS.ROM (6650)
Emergency BIOS Recovery
Do the following to update the BIOS once an emergency diskette is created via
the toolkit (see page 4-30):
1. Shut down the system and make sure the power button on the computer is
in a hard-off state.
2. Insert the newly-created Emergency BIOS Update Floppy into the USB
floppy drive of the computer.
3. Press and hold the SUSPEND button on the unit, then press the red
POWER button on the top of the computer to power on the unit. Let the
diskette be accessed before releasing the SUSPEND button.
4. After 30 seconds, disk access will resume. When the process is complete,
the system should power down automatically. If not, you may have the
wrong emergency disk (6640 files selected for the 6650 Computer, or vice versus). Go back and recreate the emergency floppy with the appropriate files.

Recovery Procedures
Create Network Recovery Media
Create one of the following proper network recovery media via the Bootable Diskette Creation window (page 4-17).
Bootable Network Recovery Diskette
Performs the standard hard drive recovery using PowerQuest’s Easy Restore. The PQI file to be restored can be the default Windows 2000 load
from the Toolkit CD or it can be a custom PQI file.
Bootable Network Cloning Diskette (Requires PQDI)
Uses PowerQuest’s Drive Image (PQDI) Pro, available separately, to take a
“snapshot” of a unit’s main hard drive partition and make it into a PQI file
for restoring onto other systems. In addition, this restores PQI files using
Drive Image Pro.
Bootable Network Diskette
Creates a DOS bootable network floppy using either NetBEUI or TCP/IP.
Partition Magic Shrink & Save Diskette (Requires PQDI and PM 5.0)
Shrinks the main partition down as small as possible and then saves the
shrunken partition down as a PQI file. Useful when restoring PQI files
onto different-sized drives.
Firmware Update Diskette
Creates a bootable floppy to flash a unit to the latest BIOS and H8 Firmware.
Emergency BIOS Recovery Diskette
Creates a recovery floppy which, in most cases, can recovery a system
which was flashed with the wrong BIOS or was interrupted during the
BIOS update process.
" NOTE:
A full copy of PowerQuest’s Drive Image Pro is required to perform hard drive “snapshots.”
PowerQuest’s Partition Magic (PM) 5.0 is required to use the Shrink & Save diskette. Also
use Partition Magic to prepare the hard drive to be saved as a PQI file.
1. Using Windows Explorer, access the contents of the Toolkit CD-ROM. From
the root of the Toolkit CD-ROM, double-click RUNME.BAT to run the
