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.
Figure 2.1 Front view of PPC-L128T panel PC
When you turn the panel PC around and look at its rear cover, you will find the I/O
section as shown in Fig. 2.2. (The I/O section includes vari- ous I/O ports, including
serial ports, the Ethernet port, USB ports, the Line-in/Line-out jack, and so on.) The
battery door cover is at the bottom of the panel PC, as shown in Fig. 2.4.

2.2.1 Connecting the power cord
The panel PC can be powered by a DC electrical outlet or the battery. Be sure to
always handle the power cords by holding the plug ends only. Please follow the Figure 2-5 to connect the male plug of the power cord to the DC inlet of the panel PC.
2.2.2 Connecting the keyboard or mouse
Before you start the computer, please connect the Y-shaped adaptor to the PS/2
mouse and keyboard port on the I/O section of the panel PC, then connect the necessary mouse or keyboard to the Y-shaped adapter or
serial ports.

2.2.3 Switching on the power
When you look at the rear side of the panel PC, you will see the power switch as
shown in Figure 2.2.
Power cord
Figure 2.5 Connect the power cord to the DC inlet

2.3 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.

PPC-L128T User Manual 10
2.4 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 have already pre-
installed system software prior to shipment of your panel PC.
Installing software requires an installed HDD. Software can be loaded in the PPCL128T using any of four methods:
2.4.1 Method 1: Use the Ethernet
You can use the Ethernet port to download software to the HDD.
2.4.2 Method 2: Use the COM
You can use Lap Link 6 or similar transmission software. Connect
another PC to the PPC-L128T with an appropriate cable and transmit the software to
the PPC-L128T.
Chapter 2 System Setup
2.4.3 Method 3: Use a DVD-RW
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 DVD-RW drive.
You may also insert your system installation DVD-RW into the DVD-RW drive.
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 DVD-RW.
If you are presented with the opening screen of a setup or installation pro- gram, follow the instructions on screen. The setup program will guide you through preparation
of your hard drive, and installation of the operaing 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
operat- ing system user manual for instructions on partitioning and formatting a hard
drive.
2.5 Installing the Drivers
After installing your system software, you will be able to set up the Ether- net, SVGA,
audio, and touchscreen functions. All drivers are stored in a DVD-RW disc entitled
“Drivers and Utilities” which can be found in your accessory box.
The various drivers and utilities in the DVD-RW disc have their own text files which
help users install the drivers and understand their functions. These files are a very
useful supplement to the information in this manual.
Note! The drivers and utilities used for the PPC-L128T panel PCs are subject
to change without notice. If in doubt, check Advantech's website or contact our application engineers for the latest informa- tion regarding drivers and utilities.

3 Hardware Installation
and Upgrading
This chapter details installing the
PPC- L128T panel PC hardware.
Sections include:
Overview of Hardware Installa-
tion and Upgrading
Installing the 2.5" Hard Disk
Drive (HDD)
Installing the battery pack
3.1 Introduction
The panel PC consists of a PC-based computer that is housed in a plastic rear panel
and a metal shielding case. You can install a HDD, DRAM, and battery pack by
removing the rear panel and shielding case. Any maintenance or hardware upgrades
can be easily completed after remov- ing the rear panel and shielding case.
If you are a systems integrator and need to know how to completely dis- assemble
the panel PC, you can find more useful information in Appendix C.
Warning! Do not remove the plastic rear cover until you have verified that no
power is flowing within the panel PC. Power must be switched off and
the power cord must be unplugged. Every time you service the panel
PC, you should be aware of this.
3.2 Installing the 2.5" Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
You can attach one Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) hard disk drive
to the panel PC's internal controller. The SATA controller supports faster data transfer
and allows the SATA hard drive to exceed 150 MB. The following are instructions for
installation:
1. Detach and remove the plastic rear cover.
2. There is a metal brace which holds the HDD to the upper left-hand side of the
metal shielding case. (See Fig. 3.1.)
3. Place the HDD in the metal brace, and tighten the screws.
4. The HDD cable (SATA 7P+1*5P-2.5/SATA(15+7)P) is next to the metal brace.
Connect the HDD cable to the PC board (CN5&CN6). Plug the other end of the
cable into the SATA hard drive.
5. Put the plastic rear cover on and tighten the screws.

3.3 Installing the battery pack
1. Pull up the battery door cover on the right bottom of PPC-L128T.
2. Put the battery pack in, and then connect the battery cable to battery connector
in the PPC-L128T. Make sure the red wire corresponds to Pin 1 on the connector.
3. Close the battery door cover.

This chapter tells how to set up
the panel PC hardware, including
instructions on setting jumpers
and connecting peripherals,
switches and indicators. Be sure
to read all the safety precautions
before you begin the installation
procedures.
Sections include:

4.1 Jumpers and Connectors
4.1.1 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.

4.2 CMOS Clear for External RTC (CN13(2-3))
Warning! To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off the power supply
before setting "Clear CMOS". Set the jumper back to "Normal operation"
before turning on the power supply.
This jumper is used to erase CMOS data and reset system BIOS informa- tion.
The procedure for clearing CMOS is:
1. Turn off system.
2. Short pin 2 and pin 3.
3. Return jumper to pins 1 and 2.
4. Turn on the system. The BIOS is now reset to its default setting.
