2.2 Preparing for First-time Use
Before setting up the panel PC system, you should have at least the following items ready:
• Power cord (in the accessory box)
• Keyboard
• Mouse (for system software installation)
2.3 Installation Procedures
2.3.1 Connecting the power cord
The panel PC can only be powered through an AC electrical outlet (100 ~
250 volts, 50 ~ 60 Hz). Be sure to always handle the power cords by holding the plug ends only. Follow these procedures in order:
1. Connect the female end of the power cord to the AC inlet of the
panel PC.
2. Connect the 3-pin male plug of the power cord to an electrical outlet.
PPC-174T User’s Manual 12
2.3.2 Connecting the keyboard and mouse
Connect the PS/2 mouse and keyboard port on the I/O section of the panel
PC.
2.3.3 Switch on the power
Switch on the power switch on the rear cover.
2.4 Running the BIOS setup program
Your panel PC is likely to have been properly set up and configured by
your dealer prior to delivery. You may still find it necessary to use the
panel PC's BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) setup program to change
system configuration information, such as the current date and time or
your type of hard drive. The setup program is stored in read-only memory
(ROM). It can either be accessed when you turn on or reset the panel PC,
by pressing the "Del" key on your keyboard immediately after turning the
computer on.
The settings you specify with the setup program are recorded in a special
area of memory called CMOS RAM. This memory is backed up by a battery so that it will not be erased when you turn off or reset the system.
Whenever you turn on the power, the system reads the settings stored in
CMOS RAM and compares them to the equipment check conducted during the power on self-test (POST). If an error occurs, an error message
will be displayed on screen, and you will be prompted to run the setup
program.
2.5 Installing the system software
Recent releases of operating systems include setup programs which automatically load and guide you through hard disk preparation and operating
system installation. The following guidelines will help you determine the
necessary steps in installing your operating system on the panel PC hard
drive.
If required, insert your operating system's installation or setup diskette
into the diskette drive until the release button pops out. The BIOS of the
panel PC supports system boot-up directly from the CDROM drive. You
may also insert your system installation CD-ROM into the CD-ROM
drive.
Turn on your panel PC or reset the system by pressing the
"Ctrl"+"Alt"+"Del" keys simultaneously. The panel PC will automatically load the operating system from the diskette or CD-ROM. If you are
13 Chapter 2
presented with the opening screen of a setup or installation program, follow the instructions on screen. The setup program will guide you through
preparation of your hard drive, and installation of the operating system.
If you are presented with an operating system command prompt, such as
A:\>, then you must partition and format your hard drive, and manually
copy the operating system files to it. Refer to your operating system user's
manual for instructions on partitioning and formatting a hard drive.
2.6 Installing the drivers
After installing your system software, you will be able to set up the Ethernet, VGA, audio, PCMCIA and touchscreen functions. All the drivers,
except for the CD-ROM drive driver, are stored in a CD-ROM disc entitled "Drivers and Utilities." The CD-ROM drive driver is stored in a
floppy disk. Both CD-ROM and floppy disk can be found in your accessory box.
To set up the CD-ROM function, insert the floppy disk with the CD-ROM
drive driver into the floppy disk drive and type "install" after the follow-
ing prompt is displayed on screen:
A: > INSTALL
Press "Enter", and the installation process will be completed in a few sec-
onds.
The various drivers and utilities in the CD-ROM disc have their own text
files to help users install the drivers and understand their functions. These
files are useful supplement to the information in this manual.
Note: The drivers and utilities used for the PPC-174T
panel PCs are subject to change without notice.
If in doubt, check Advantech's website or contact
our application engineers for the latest information regarding drivers and utilities.

You can configure your panel PC to match the needs of your application
by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electrical 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 pins 2 and 3.
open closed closed 2-3
open closed closed 2-3
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers.
If you have any doubts about hardware configuration for your application, contact your local distributors or sales representatives before you
make any changes.

Programming the
Watchdog Timer
The PPC-174T is equipped with a
watchdog timer that resets the CPU or
generates an interrupt if processing
comes to a standstill for any reason.
This feature ensures system reliability
in industrial standalone or unmanned
environments.
Appendix
B
Appendix B Programming the Watchdog
Timer
B.1 Programming the Watchdog Timer
To program the watchdog timer, you must write a program which writes I/
O port address 440 (hex). The output data is a time interval value. The
value range is from 01 (hex) to 3F (hex), and the related time interval is
from 1 sec. to 63 sec.
Data Time Interval
01 1 sec.
02 2 sec.
03 3 sec.
04 4 sec.
ïï
ïï
ïï
3F 63 sec.
After data entry, your program must refresh the watchdog timer by rewrit-
ing the I/O port 440 (hex) while simultaneously setting it. When you want
to disable the watchdog timer, your program should read I/O port 440
(hex).
The following example shows how you might program the watchdog
timer :
