Packing List
Before installing your panel PC, ensure that the following materials have
been received:
• PPC-102 series panel PC
• User's manual
• Accessories for PPC-102
- Power cable for both FDD and HDD/CD-ROM
- FDD flat cable (35 cm)
- Keyboard extension cable (5-pin DIN female to 6-pin PS/2 male)
- FDD power cable
- HDD flat cable (44-pin) (5 cm)
- HDD flat cable (40-pin) (46 cm)
- Line-in cable
- Power cord (1.8 m) - USA type
- Assembly mounting parts
- Heat sink
- HDD bracket
- Utility disks
- Screws
If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact your distributor or
sales representative immediately.
Note:
1. The heat sink is included in the PPC-102's accessory box.
2. The CPU you intend to purchase may be sold together with a fan
attached with adhesive.
3. Customers must buy the CPU separately. Do not buy a CPU that
already has a fan attached with adhesive, because it is not easy to
remove such fan.
If you install a 586 series CPU yourself, you must install a heat sink above
the CPU in order to avoid heat damage to the CPU. The CPU and the heat
sink are normally sold together with the fan attached to the CPU. Due to
tight constraints within the PPC-102’s housing, care must be taken to use
the heat sink in the accessory box which will both cool the CPU and fit
within the PPC-102. Thus you must buy a CPU without a fan attached.

3.1 Information on Jumpers and Connectors
3.1.1 Setting jumpers
You configure the board to match the needs of your application by setting
jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of
two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover)
that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper you
connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper you remove the clip.
Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case
you would connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.

3.5 VGA Interface
The PCM-5865’s PCI SVGA interface can drive conventional CRT
displays and is capable of driving a wide range of flat panel displays,
including electroluminescent (EL), gas plasma, passive LCD and active
LCD displays. The board has two connectors to support these displays,
one for standard CRT VGA monitors and one for flat panel displays.
3.5.1 CRT display port (I/O port)
Refer to Section 2.4.6 for detailed information.
3.5.2 Flat panel display connector (CN5)
CN5 consists of a 44-pin, dual-in-line header. Power supply (+12 V)
present on CN5 depends on the supply connected to the board. Ensure
that CN2 is connected for +12 V power supply.
The PCM-5865 provides a bias control signal on CN5 that can be used to
control the LCD bias voltage. It is recommended that the LCD bias
voltage not be applied to the panel until the logic supply voltage (+5 V or
+3.3 V) and panel video signals are stable. Under normal operation, the
control signal (/ENVEE) is active low. When the PCM-5865’s power is
applied, the control signal is low until just after the relevant flat panel
signals are present.
Refer to Section 4.4 for CN5's pin assignment.

5.1 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
nonfatal. The system can usually continue the boot sequence with
nonfatal errors. Nonfatal error messages usually appear on the screen
along with the following instruction:
press <F1> to RESUME
Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the boot
sequence.
5.1.1 System configuration verification
These routines check the current system configuration against the values
stored in the board’s CMOS memory. If they do not match, the program
outputs an error message. You will then need to run the BIOS setup
program to set the configuration information in memory.
There are three situations in which you will need to change the CMOS
settings:
1. You are starting your system for the first time.
2. You have changed the hardware attached to your system.

6.7.5 Installation notes
1. During the installation of this driver, DISPLAY.LOG and
DSPINSTL.LOG files are created in the \OS2\INSTALL directory.
These files identify the OS/2 system files that were updated, and
indicate whether the installation was successful. The DISPLAY.LOG
file also contains a string that identifies the version of driver that was
installed. This information may be important when reporting an
installation problem.
2. During installation, DSPINSTL will invoke the SVGA configuration
program SVGA.EXE to determine the hardware configuration, and
create the file \OS2\INSTALL\SVGADATA.PMI. If this file is not
created, the adapter will not be supported. When this step is done, the
display will be blanked, and you may see a series of flashes on the
display and/or what appears to be a “corrupted” display. This is
normal, as the configuration process is performing Video BIOS mode
sets to determine which screen resolutions BIOS supports. This
configuration information is then used to provide the System-Settings
resolution and refresh selections.
