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 be accessed either when you turn on or reset the panel PC, by pressing the "Del" key on your keyboard immediately after powering on the computer.
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.
If you want to change the setup of BIOS, refer to Chapter 9 for more detailed information.
18
PPC-120/140 User's Manual
2.5 Installing System Software
Recent releases of operating systems from major vendors include setup programs which load automatically and guide you through hard disk preparation and operating system installation. The guidelines below will help you determine the steps necessary to install your operating system on the panel PC hard drive.
Note: Some distributors and system integrators may ha ve
already pre-installed system software prior to shipment of your panel PC.
If required, insert your operating system's installation or setup diskette into the diskette drive until the release button pops out. (See Fig. 3-1.)
The BIOS of the panel PC supports system boot-up directly from the CD-ROM drive. You may also insert your system installation CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. (See Fig. 3-2.) Refer to Chapter 9 - BIOS Setup if you wish to change the BIOS settings.
Power 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 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, SVGA, audio, and touchscreen functions. All the drivers except 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 the CD-ROM and the floppy disk can be found in your accessory box.

The compact CD-ROM drive used in the panel PC is not the common
5.25" CD-ROM drive seen in computer shops. It is the kind widely used in notebook computers. Install the CD-ROM drive as follows:
1. Detach and remove the rear cover, side panel and CPU cover.
2. Fasten the retaining clip on the CD-ROM drive with the two screws.
3. Slide the slim CD-ROM drive into the CD-ROM slot. (See Fig. 4-6.)
4. Attach the two screws on the side panel of the CD-ROM slot.
5. Connect the 40-pin CD-ROM cable (which has a small converting PCB at its end) to the CD-ROM drive. The other end of the cable is connected to CD-ROM connector J9 on the motherboard.
6. Rotate the retaining spring, to secure the CD-ROM connector (with converting PCB) in place.

5.1.1 Setting jumpers
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.

CHAPTER
7.1 Introduction
The PPC-120/140 has an on-board PCI flat panel/VGA interface. The specifications and features are described as follows:
Chipset
The PPC-120/140 uses a C&T 65555 chipset for its PCI/SVGA controller. It supports many popular LCD, EL, and gas plasma flat panel displays and conventional analog CR T monitors. The 65555 VGA BIOS supports monochrome LCD, EL, color TFT and STN LCD flat panel displays. In addition, it also supports interlaced and non-interlaced analog monitors (color and monochrome VGA) in high-resolution modes while maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital monitors (i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported. Multiple frequency (multisync) monitors are handled as if they were analog monitors.
Display memory
With on-board 2 MB display memory, the VGA controller can drive CRT displays or color panel displays with resolutions up to 1024 x 768 at 64 K colors. The display memory can be expanded to 4 MB for true-color resolution of 1024 x 768.
Display types
CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The PPC-120/140 can be set in one of three configurations: on a CRT, on a flat panel display, or on both simultaneously . The system is initially set to simultaneous display mode. The CD-ROM disc includes three *.COM files in the subdirectory Utility\vga\ which can be used to configure the display. In order to use these configuration programs, type the file name and path at the DOS prompt.
