It also provides the SurePOS ACE documentation for planning application option settings and SurePOS ACE-related 4690 Operating System configuration settings that are needed to implement SurePOS ACE.

This course provides the technical information that will assist you in planning, installing, personalizing, or supporting SurePOS ACE. In addition, hands-on exercises are included to supplement and reinforce the material covered in this course.
