CHAPTER

Chapter 2 System Setup

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 the Panel PC

When you look at the right side of the panel PC, you will see the holes for mounting as shown in Fig. 2-2.

Figure 2.2: Right Side of Panel PC

PPC-V106 User Manual 8

When you turn the Panel PC around and look at its rear cover, you will find VESA standard holes and others for mounting. There are no ventilation holes, as shown in Figure 2-3.

Figure 2.3: Rear Side View of the Panel PC

The I/O section is at the bottom of the panel PC, as shown in Fig. 2-4.

2.2 Installation Procedures

2.2.1 Connecting the Power Cord

There are two kinds of power supplies for the PPC-V106 series, AC and DC.

For AC model : The Panel PC can only be powered by an AC electrical outlet (100 ~ 250

volts, 50 ~ 60 Hz). Be sure to always handle the power cords by holding 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 out-

let.

For DC model : Connect the 2 pin waterproof 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 necessary mouse or keyboard to the PS/2 mouse, keyboard port or serial ports.

2.2.3 Switching On the Power

When you look at the bottom of the panel PC, you will see the power switch.

PPC-V106 User Manual 10

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.

11 Chapter 2

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.

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.

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.
