full advantage of a wide range of available software programs, and its
upgrade can be performed both quickly and easily with the replace­ment of various optional modules.

The HMI-640S is easily customizable to fulfill your needs. The power
supply and I/O adapter are all readily accessible by removing the front
or rear panel.

Warning! Verify that power source has been disconnected

from the HMI-640S before you install any of its
components or accessories. Note that no power
source should be attached to the HMI-640S during
any hardware installation or servicing.

2.2 Packing List

When you first receive your HMI-640S package, please check the
packing list below to make sure you have all the necessary items that
should come with your package:

q HMI-640S compact panel PC
q CompactFlash adapter box
q Power adapter
q User's Manual
q Service CD
q DB-9 null modem cable
q Accessory pack

If you have purchased additional software options, you should have
optional items such as:

q 16 MB CompactFlash card pre-installed with specific software

HMI-640S User's Manual

2.3 Initial Setup

The HMI-640S offers an easy setup feature: It takes merely 3 easy
steps for your initial setup before use. Simply take out the HMI-640S
from it's package and follow the steps below for a quick initial setup:

Step 1: Insert CompactFlash memory card (with Windows CE and/or
specific application software inside) into the appropriate bus
slot.

Step 2: Connect the power adapter cord to HMI-640S and plug the
other end of the cord into the power outlet.

Step 3: Turn the sytem power on for the first boot.

Warning! Before installing the serial por t mouse driver, you

must remove the PS/2 mouse driver from your
system.

Note: The PS/2 mouse driver cannot be simultaneously

installed with a serial/COM port mouse driver.

Note: It might be possible that you may see several light or

dark dots on the LCD panel while system powers up.
These minor imperfections actually originate from the
LCD panel manufacturing process and will not affect
the normal operation of your system in any way.

2.3 Installing a CompactFlash Memory Card

Installing a CompactFlash adapter

1 . V erify that the power source to the HMI-640S has been properly

disconnected.

2 . Insert the CompactFlash adapter frimly but gently into the IDE-

compatible slot as shown in the picture below .

3 . Make sure your CompactFlash memory card is inserted properly

into place.

14

HMI-640S User's Manual

Installing a 2.5" HDD

HMI-640S is designed as a HDD-less platform of a high reliability .
However, if a HDD should be used, its installation procedure is
described as follows:

1 . V erify that the power source to the HMI-640S has been properly

disconnected.

2 . Connect the HDD via a cable to the IDE-compatible slot on the

HMI-640S. Make sure that you have inserted the cable connector
properly into the slot.

Warning! When connecting the cable to the HDD, make sure

that pin 1 on the cable is connected to pin 1 on the
connector of the HDD. Faulty or wrong connection
might damage your HDD.

Chapter 2 System Setup

15

2.4 Connecting the Power Adapter

Before connecting the power adapter to your HMI-640S, you must first
attach the Power T erminal Block onto the 24 VDC power receptable
located beneath the HMI-640S. After the Power T erminal Block has
been attached, you can then connect the power adapter to the Power
T erminal Block to provide power supplies to your HMI-640S.

To connect the power adapter:
1 . Identify each wire of the power adapter cord (you must first make

sure which is +, - or GND specifically).

2 . Unscrew the screws on the power terminal. Insert each wire of the

power adapter cord specifically into its designated connector hole
(+, - and GND) on the Power T erminal Block. Fasten the screws to
secure wires in the connector holes.

Warning! Avoid shorting any bare wires since it may cause

damages to your system or device.

HMI-640S User's Manual

2.5 Installing a PC/104 Module

The HMI-640S's PC/104 connector gives you the flexibility to attach to
the PC/104 expansion modules, which perform same functions as
traditional plug-in expansion cards. Using these modules might save
you space and valuable slots.

T o install a PC/104 module:
1 . V erify that the power source to the HMI-640S has been properly

disconnected.
2 . Detach the metal cover on the rear panel.
3 . Plug the PC/104 module's male connectors into ISA expansion slot's

female connectors by pressing the module firmly with caution.
4 . Secure the two PC/104 modules onto the HMI-640S.
5 . Replace the PC/104 cover.

2.6 First System Boot

After you have properly installed the CompactFlash memory card pre­installed with Windows CE or even with specific application software ,
all you have to do is simply plug in the power and the system is ready
for the first boot.

Power up for the first time

Please follow the steps below to perform your first system boot :

1. Turn on the power switch. Meanwhile, the Power LED on the front
panel will light up.

2. The Windows CE operating system starts to boot from the Compact­Flash memory .

3. W ait for a while for Windows CE to complete its fist startup.

Assign the Device Name

After you have successfully booted for the first time, you can now
assign a Device Name to your HMI-640S for network identification.

Follow the instructions below to assign the Device Name:

1. First Click Start/Settings/Control Panel/Communication Proper-
ties to access the Communication Properties page.

2. Select the Device Name tab on the properties page, and assign a
Device Name to your HMI-640S. The Device Name is what comes to
distinguishe your HMI-640S within the network environment.

3. Click Ok to accept the Device Name setting.

4. Reboot your system to make your Device Name effective on the
network.

After you have assigned a Device Name to your HMI-640S on the
network, you can proceed futher with other configurations or installa­tion procedures if need be.
