Packing List

Before installing your panel PC, ensure that the following materials have been received:

• PPC-120/140 series panel PC

• User's manual

• Accessories for PPC-120/140

- Y-shaped adapter for PS/2 mouse and AT keyboard

- Power cord (1.8 m) - USA type (other types are available on request)

- Floppy disk with CD-ROM drive driver

- "PPC-120/140 Drivers and Utilities" CD-ROM disc

- Mounting kits and packet of screws

- "Touchscreen Drivers" CD-ROM disc (refer to Note 1)

- Heat sink with CPU fan (optional) (refer to Notes 2 and 3)

If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact your distributor or sales representative immediately.

Note 1: (a) The "Touchscreen Drivers" CD-ROM only comes

with panel PCs equipped with the touchscreen function. (b) To save on resources , Adv antech plans to copy the touchscreen drivers onto the "PPC-120/140 Drivers and Utilities" CD-ROM disc shortly . (c) If your panel PC is equipped with a touchscreen, but you cannot find the "Touchscreen Drivers" CD-ROM disc in your package, then please chec k the contents of your "PPC-120/140 Drivers and Utilities" CD-ROM disc. The touchscreen drivers should be located there.

Note 2: If the unit you have bought is basic (i.e . without a CPU,

HDD , or SDRAM), you will find this optional item in the accessory box.

Note 3: If you install an Intel P entium® MMX processor yourself,

you must install a heat sink with a CPU f an above the CPU. This procedure will av oid heat damage to the CPU.

CHAPTER

General Information

This chapter gives background information on the PPC-120/140 panel PC.

• Introduction

• How to Use This Manual

• Specifications

1.1 Introduction

The PPC-120/140 panel PC is a multimedia Pentium® MMX processor-based computer that is designed to serve as a human machine interface (HMI) and as a desktop computer. It is a PC-based system with

12.1"/13.8" color TFT or STN LCD display, on-board PCI Ethernet controller, multi-COM port interfaces and a 16-bit audio controller. With built-in CD-ROM drive, floppy drive and PCMCIA expansion sockets, the PPC-120/140 is as compact and user-friendly as a notebook computer. Unlike notebook computers, the PPC-120/140 is more durable and versatile in all applications. The panel PC can be placed on a desktop to replace the traditional desktop computer. In addition, its "fit anywhere" design makes it very flexible and able to be used in many different kinds of installations. It can be wall mounted, panel mounted or stood upright on a desktop.

For system integrators, this simple, complete, compact and highly integrated multimedia system lets you easily build a panel PC into your applications. Common industrial applications include factory automation systems, precision machinery , and production process control. It is also suitable for many nonindustrial applications, including interactive kiosk systems, entertainment management, and car park automation. Our panel PC is a reliable, cost-effective solution to your application's processing requirements.

Chapter 1 General Information

1.2 How to Use This Manual

This manual contains all the information you need to set up and use the panel PC. In addition to this manual, you may also want to consult the manuals for your operating system, software applications and peripherals.

Whether you are a new or an experienced user, you will benefit more from this manual if you are familiar with its organization. This manual is divided into ten chapters, plus five appendices.

Chapter 1 (this chapter) outlines the organization of this User's Manual, provides a complete specification description of the PPC-120/140, and summarizes its main features.

Chapter 2 provides step-by-step instructions to help you set up and begin using the panel PC as quickly as possible.

Chapter 3 provides important information about the daily use of the panel PC, including using the CD-ROM drive, floppy drive and enjoying the panel PC's audio capabilities.

Chapter 4 provides detailed step-by-step instructions to help you install the internal key components, including the CPU, hard disk drive, memory module, and so on.

Chapter 5 provides a detailed description of jumper settings and connectors of the motherboard of the PPC-120/140.

Chapter 6 explains the PCI bus Ethernet setup. Chapter 7 explains the PCI SVGA setup. Chapter 8 explains the audio setup. Chapter 9 explains the A ward BIOS setup. Chapter 10 explains how to configure and use the optional touchscreen. Appendix A details the LCD specifications used in the PPC-120/140. Appendix B explains how to program the watchdog timer. Appendix C includes various exploded diagrams of the PPC-120/140.

These diagrams will help system integrators disassemble the panel PC. Appendix D includes all pin assignments on the connectors.

PPC-120/140 User's Manual

Appendix E helps users install the panel PC, which is mountable in a variety of ways.

If you are a commercial user and the panel PC unit you bought is a complete set with CPU, hard disk drive, SDRAM, CD-ROM drive, floppy disk drive and PCMCIA expansion slots included, you may only need to read Chapters 1 through 3 regarding hardware operation. For additional drivers and BIOS setup information, you should read Chapters 6 through

9. If you want to upgrade your system, you may follow the instructions in Chapters 4 and 5. Chapter 10 is for users who want information about the optional touchscreen. If you are a system integrator who wants to integrate the panel PC into your system, you can refer to Appendices A through E for information such as pin assignments and how to fully disassemble the panel PC.
