General Information
This chapter gives background
information on the PPC-150 panel PC.
• Introduction
• How to Use This Manual
• Specifications
1.1 Introduction
The PPC-150 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 15" color TFT
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-150 is as compact and
user-friendly as a notebook computer. Unlike notebook computers, the
PPC-150 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.

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-150, 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-150.
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-150.
Appendix B explains how to program the watchdog timer.
Appendix C includes various exploded diagrams of the PPC-150. These
diagrams will help system integrators disassemble the panel PC.
Appendix D includes all pin assignments on the connectors.

PPC-150 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.

2.1 A Quick Tour of the Panel PC
Before you start to set up the panel PC, take a moment to become familiar
with the locations and purposes of the controls, drives, connectors and
ports, which are illustrated in the figures below.
When you place the panel PC upright on the desktop, its front panel
appears as shown in Figure 2-1.

When you turn the panel PC around and look at its rear cover, you will
find the PCI/ISA expansion slot located on the left side. This slot is
covered by a side panel cover. The sunken I/O section is at the bottom of
the panel PC, as shown in Fig. 2-3. (The I/O section includes various I/O
ports, including serial ports, parallel port, the Ethernet port, USB ports,
the microphone jack, and so on.)
