The FPC6104 is an industrial flat panel PC. The FPC6104 can be used for machine control, production lines, kiosks and information stations. The FPC6104 is preinstalled with an Intel® Atom™ CPU for
applications where more computing power is needed.
The FPC6104 supports a second monitor for presenting information to customers or extending the
display area. The second monitor can show different information to the main screen, or duplicate the
main screen content.
The FPC6104 can be installed in a rack, on a VESA clamp or in a custom enclosure with a hole of the
correct size.
The FPC6104 supports one 2.5" hard drive and a CompactFlash® disk for data and application
storage. CompactFlash® is most often used for thin-client applications, where only basic functions are
performed. A hard drive offers more storage space and is the better choice for a general use computer.

WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the FPC6104may
resultinpermanent damagetothe FPC6104 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic compo-
nents, including the FPC6104. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It
is therefore critical that whenever the FPC6104 is accessed internally, or any other
electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered
to.
-Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can help to
prevent ESD from damaging the board.
-Self-grounding: - Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting ma
terial. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any conducting mate
rials that are connected to the ground.
-Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the FPC6104, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
FPC6104.
-Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
4.2 INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
When installing the flat panel PC, please follow the precautions listed below:
-Power turned off: When installing the flat panel PC, make sure the power is off.
Failing to turn off the power may cause severe injury to the body and/or damage
to the system.
-Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify onboard
functionalities.
-Anti-static Discharge: If a user open the rear panel of the flat panel PC, to
configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground themselves
first and wear and anti-static wristband.

NOTE:
A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electrical circuit. It consists of two or
three metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides
over the pins to connect them. To CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means connecting
the pins of the jumper with the plastic clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the
plastic clip from a jumper.
The following jumpers can be found on the motherboard installed in the FPC6104.
Before the FPC6104 is installed, the jumpers must be set in accordance with the desired configuration. The jumpers on the FPC6104 motherboard are listed in Table 4-1.
