Chapter 1 General Information

1.1 Introduction

The IPPC-9151 seriesof industrial panel PCs is especially designed to fit in space-limited environments where expansion is restricted. Its solid structure enables systems to operate under harsh industrial conditions.

Sturdy structure

The whole system is protected by a firm solid structure. The front panel is made of sturdy aluminum and has strengthened glass. It is shock resistant, and complies with NEMA4/IP65. The stainless steel case (SUS304) on the rear side is rugged and corrosion resistant, and enables the system to operate reliably in even the harshest of environments.

Easy maintenance

A back door with lock is located right above the motherboard. Thus users can easily maintain the CPU, HDD, SDRAM and CD-ROM drive. Jumpers can be easily set without removing a single screw. The lock protects the system from intruders.

Economical

The PCM-9683 motherboard has Socket 478 architecture. It supports Pentium 4 up to 2.8 GHz and Celeron up to 2.4 GHz. Socket 478 is an economical yet powerful system. Its reliability enables the system to operate faultlessly in industrial environments.

Friendly HMI

Systems in the IPPC-9151 series are equipped with a 15" LCD screen, which provides high resolution display quality. The result is vivid, bright, and sharp quality images. The panel PC is perfectly suited for Windows OS. The touschscreen version enables simple operation, making the Panel PC a solid industrial digital controller interface. In addtion, the rugged design of the IPPC-9151 series offers 3 front panel options with aluminum/stainless/flat-seal for various requirements.

2.2 Installing SDRAM

You can install from 64 MB to 2 GB (x2) of DDR SDRAM memory. The Panel PC system provides one 184-pin DIMM (Double Inline Memory Module) socket, and supports 2.5 V DDR SDRAM.

1. Unlock the back cover and open it.

2. Disconnect the FDD and CD-ROM cable.

3. Unscrew the screws of the FDD and CD-ROM module and take off the

FDD and CD-ROM.

4. Disconnect the HDD cable.

5. Undo the seven screws of the HDD Module so you can install the

SDRAM.

6. Push the two white eject levers on each side of the DIMM outward

until they are separated from the black vertical posts.

7. Insert the memory module into the socket at an angle of 90 degrees.

8. Push the two eject levers toward the vertical posts at each end of the

socket until the module is upright.

2.3 Installing a CPU

The CPU can be upgraded to improve system performance. The system provides Socket 478 architecture which supports Pentium 4 CPU up to

2.8 GHz, and Celeron up to 2.4 GHz.

Warnings Always disconnect the power cord from your panel

PC when you are working on it. Do not make connections while the power is on, because sensitive electronic components can be damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the panel PC.

1. Remove the HDD, FDD and CD-ROM module. The removal proce-

dure is the same as the SDRAM.

2. The CPU board will auto-detect CPU's voltage and frequency; there

are no jumper settings.

3. Open the CPU socket by pulling up the lever sideways from the socket,

then upwards at an angle of 90 degrees.

4. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation. The notched corner of the

CPU (with the white dot) should point toward the end of the lever. The end of the lever is the blank area where one hole is missing from the corner of the square array of pin holes. An arrowhead printed on the motherboard points to the end of the lever.

5. Slide the CPU in gently. It should insert easily. If not, pull the lever up

a little more and make sure the pins of the CPU correspond with the holes of the socket. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE!

6. Press the lever down. The plate will slide forward.

7. Place the heat sink on top of the CPU, and secure with heat sink clip.

8. Connect the CPU's cooling fan power connector.

9. Push the HDD, FDD and CD-ROM module bracket into the chassis.

2.4 Installing a 3.5" HDD

You can attach one enhanced Integrated Device Electronics (IDE) hard disk drive to IPPC-9151's internal controller which uses PCI local bus interface. The following instructions are for installation:

1. Unlock the back cover and open it.

2. Remove the two screws and take off FDD, CD-ROM Module.

3. Remove four screws and take off HDD bracket.

4. Insert the HDD into the bracket (see figure 2.4.3)

5. Put the HDD bracket into the Chassis and fasten the four screws.

Then attach the HDD flat cable and power cable.

2.5 Installing Add-on Cards

This system supports two PCI expansion cards.

1. Detach the five screws on the back to open the lid.

2. Take away the slot bracket.

3. Insert the add-on card, and put on the lid.

2.6 Mounting Instructions

There are two ways to mount the system: panel mounting or rack mounting.

2.6.1 Panel Mounting

1. Take the four mounting brackets out of the accessory box.

2. Attach the four mounting brackets by inserting the screws into the

keyhole slots on the cover of the monitor.

3. Use the screws to secure the brackets to the cover. Tighten the screws

to secure the monitor to the back panel.

2.6.2 Rack Mounting

The monitor can be mounted to a 19" industrial rack with an optional bracket.
