1.Before getting started, read these instructions and save them for later reference.
2. Please disconnect this equipment from any AC outlet before cleaning. Clean with a damp or
dry cloth only . Do not spray any liquid cleaner directly .
3. The power outlet socket used to plug in the computer power cord must be located near the
system and easily accessible. Do not use outlets on the same circuit of the systems that are
regularly switched on and off.
4. Do not expose the power cord, extension cord and power outlet to moisture or traffic intensive
walkways.
5. Install the equipment on a sturdy and reliable surface to prevent damage caused by dropping.
6. If the Equipment is sharing an extension cord with other devices, make sure the total ampere
rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord's ampere rating.
7. If an operating system is not installed, an operating system must be loaded first before installing any software into the equipment.
8. Disconnect the power cord from the computer before any installation of internal components.
Make sure both the computer and the external devices are turned off. A sudden surge of power
may damage sensitive components. Also make sure the computer is properly grounded.
9. During installation of any internal components, be sure to ground yourself to discharge any
static electricity . Most electronic components are highly sensitive to st atic electric charge. Use a
grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in any static-shielded devices. If a
wrist-grounding strap is not available, ground your self by briefly touching an unpainted piece of
metal.
10. If the equipment is equipped with a touch panel, avoid using sharp or metallic objects to
operate the touch panel. Scratches on the touch panel may cause mal-calibration or serious
damage to the panel.
1 1. The brightness of the flat panel display will decrease with use over long periods of time.
However, hours of use will vary depending on the application environment.
12. FPC 7120 is equipped with a touch panel, avoid using sharp or metallic objects to operate
the touch panel. Scratches on the touch panel may cause mal-calibration or serious damage to
the panel.
13. The LCD panel display is not resistive to shock or vibration. When disassembling
FPC 7120, make sure the LCD panel is properly and securely installed.

This chapter contains general information and detailed specifications of the FPC 5104. Chapter 1
includes the following sections:
General Description
Specification
Dimensions
1.1General Description
FPC 7120 series is a fan less mini size panel PC with a compact aluminum chassis as a huge heat
sink, which delivers reliable, easy-maintenance, LCD panel and quiet industrial grade mini size computer. Featuring Atom processor, FPC 7120 series combines enhanced digital media performance
with unique thermal solution, and minimizes power consumption to as little as 5 watts when running at
the speed of 1
GHz, bringing up a quieter and cooler system. The versatile FPC 7120 series can support one 2.5"

T o set up the FPC 7120 series for the first-time, you should have the following items ready. These
items are either included in the accessory box or available from your local computer parts store.
oFPC 7120 Utility CD (Included)
oPower cord (Included)
oPS/2, AT or USB Keyboard (Not included)
oPS/2 or USB Mouse (Not included)
oUSB CD-ROM Drive (Not included)
oOperating System (OS) Installation CD (Not included)
2.2.1 Hardware Installation Procedure (Prior to turning the power on)
1. Connect a PS/2 keyboard or A T keyboard to the PS/2 keyboard port, or an USB keyboard to a USB
port. If you are using an A T keyboard, you need an adapter (AT to PS/2 KB) for this connection.
2. Connect the PS/2 mouse to the PS/2 mouse port, or an USB mouse to an USB port.
3. Connect the male end of the power cord to an electrical outlet.
4. Connect the female end of the power adapter cord to the AC inlet located at the rear side of the
FPC 7120.
2.2.2 System BIOS Setup
If you are a commercial user , the FPC 7120 series should have been set up and configured by your
distributor already . In the case where you may find it necessary to change some system configuration
information, you will need to run the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) setup program. Under the following conditions, the CMOS settings may be changed:
1. The system is starting and being configured for the first time with new components.
2. The hardware devices attached to the FPC 7120 system have been changed.
3. The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration information has been erased.
The BIOS setup program is stored in ROM, which can be accessed by pressing <DEL> key on the
keyboard immediately when the system is powered on. In order to retain the specified setup information when the system power is turned off, the system setup information is stored in a battery-backed
CMOS RAM. The battery is to ensure the settings will not be erased when the computer is turned off or
reset. When the computer is powered on again, the system will read the settings stored in the CMOS

RAM and compare them to the equipment check conducted during the power on self-test (POST). If
any error or mismatch occurs, an error message will be shown on the screen and the computer will be
prompted to run the setup program.
2.2.3 Operating System and Driver
The standard FPC 7120 series system may not be equipped with an operating system (OS). If you are
a commercial user, the system is likely to have been preinstalled with a proper operating system and
software drivers by your dealer or system integrator . If the system is not pre-installed with any system
OS and drivers or you intend to install your preferred ones, you will need to load an OS and software
into the system.
1. Use the external IDE Cable (optional) to connect a USB CD-ROM Drive to load and OS from a
bootable CD. Recent releases of operating systems include setup programs that load automatically
and guide you through the installation. You can also refer to your OS user manual for instructions on
formatting or partitioning the hard disk drive before any software installation.
2. Install software drivers for your operating system and any peripherals that are connected. The FPC
7120 series utility CD includes software drivers for Chipset driver , Audio, LAN, Touch, Wireless and
VGA Display drivers. See driver installation chapters for more information.
