1.1 Introduction

The AHP-2176 operator panel is an onboard Intel® Celeron® 827E

1.4GHz processor computer that is designed to serve as a human

machine interface (HMI). It is a PC-based system with 17" color TFT LCD display, onboard Ethernet controller, multi-COM port interfaces and an audio controller. With a built-in CFast™ socket, the AHP-2176 is as compact and user friendly as a multi-function computer. In addition, its "fit anywhere" design makes it very flexible and able to be used in many different kinds of installations. It can be Panel / VESA / Wallmounted.

For system integrators, this simple, complete, compact and highly integrated system let you easily build an operator panel into your applications. Common industrial applications include factory automation systems, precision machinery, and production process control. It is also suitable for many non-industrial applications, including vending machine, and car park automation. Our operator panel is a reliable, cost-effective solution to your application's processing requirements.

3.1 System Test and Initialization

These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines

encounter an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short

beeps or see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds

of errors: fatal and non-fatal. The system can usually continue the

boot up sequence with non-fatal errors.

System configuration verification

These routines check the current system configuration stored in the

CMOS memory and BIOS NVRAM. If system configuration is not

found or system configuration data error is detected, system will

load optimized default and re-boot with this default system

configuration automatically.

There are four situations in which you will need to setup system

configuration:

1. You are starting your system for the first time

2. You have changed the hardware attached to your system

3. The system configuration is reset by Clear-CMOS jumper

4. The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration

information has been erased.

The AHP-2176 CMOS memory has an integral lithium battery

backup for data retention. However, you will need to replace the

complete unit when it finally runs down.

Chapter 3 AMI BIOS Setup 3-2

Touch Panel PC AHP-2176

3.2 AMI BIOS Setup

AMI BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to

modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is

stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM and BIOS NVRAM so that it

retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.

Entering Setup

Power on the computer and press <Del>or <F2> immediately. This

will allow you to enter Setup.
