Warranty
All products manufactured by the Manufacturer. are
warranted against defective materials and workmanship for
one year starting from the date of delivery to the original
purchaser. However, warranty or service will not be

unless such repair, modification or alteration is authorized
by the Manufacturer; or 2). the product serial number or
warranty label is defaced or missing; or 3). the product is
not properly used.
Important Safety Precautions
Before getting started, read these instructions and save
them for later reference.
1. Turn off the computer before cleaning. Clean with a
damp or dry cloth only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner
on screen directly.
2. The power outlet socket used to plug in the computer
power cord must be located near the system and easily
accessible. Do not use outlets on the same circuit of
the systems that regularly switched on and off.
3. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct
before connecting the computer to the power outlet.
4. If the computer is sharing an extension cord with other
devices, make sure the total ampere rating of the
devices plugged into the extension cord does not
exceed the cord’ s ampere rating.
5. Do not expose the power cord, extension cord and
power outlet to moisture.
6. Install the computer on a reliable surface to prevent
damage caused by dropping.
7. This computer is not equipped with an operating
system. An operating system must be loaded first
before installing any software into the computer.
8. Disconnect the power cord from the computer before
any installation. Make sure both the computer and the
external devices are turned off. The sudden surge of
power may ruin any sensitive components. Also make
sure the computer is properly grounded.
9. During installation of any internal components, be sure
to ground yourself to keep from any static charge.
Most electronic components are sensitive to the static
electric charge. Use a grounding wrist strap and place
all electronic components in any static-shielded
devices.
10. The openings on the computer enclosure are for the
cabin ventilation to prevent the computer from
overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.
11. The brightness of the flat panel display will decrease
with use. However, hours of use will vary depending on
the application environment.
12. If the computer is equipped with a touch panel, avoid
using sharp objects to operate the touch panel.
Scratches on the touch panel may cause
mal-calibration or non-function to the panel.
13. The LCD panel display is not subject to shock or
vibration. When assembling the computer, make sure
it is securely installed.

1.1. General Information
The information revolution which started from the mid ’90
inaugurated a new competitive era where consumercomputing technology was exploited to business operation
quicker than ever before. Many enterprises from our life
related industries such as POS, POI, KIOSK, Banking,
Medical to the high-tech Telecom, Aerospace,
Semiconductor … etc. all are eager or forced to automate
their industries with PCs in order to thrive in this new age. For
their industrial automation, there is one thing in common, i.e.
space is always a premium and system stability is always a
must in their environmental applications.
The APOLLO 120/150 is a 12.1"/15.0” or 15.1" TFT Intel
Celeron/Pentium III/Pentium IV plastic-housing multimedia
panel PC system. With a 150W or 200W ATX power supply as
its engine, the APOLLO is a genuine P4 panel PC designed for
high performance multimedia application. Featuring with
versatile stand design for different environmental
applications, the APOLLO itself can be used as a
ready-to-play system by connecting to necessary peripherals.
By integrating the APOLLO system to the special designed
HERCULUS KIOSK, the complete system is widely used for
KIOSK integration. It also provides 2 sets of VESA holes for
market-available swing arms for mobile application. Also with
the availability of both AC and DC systems, the APOLLO is the
best turnkey solution platform for any system integration.
In terms of panel size, the APOLLO has 12.1” and 15.0” or
15.1” systems. In terms of system engine, the APOLLO also
have two versions, one APOLLO III, Celeron/Pentium III
system and the other APOLLO IV, Pentium IV system. To
upgrade the system, simply replace the motherboard.
Fully configurable and with its sleek outlook, the APOLLO is
an ideal platform for any space-constricted application.

2.2. System Setup for the First-time Use
To set up the APOLLO 120/150 for the first-time use, you
should have the following items ready. The items are either
in the accessory box or available in any computer stores.
u 110V or 220V power cord
u PS/2 or AT keyboard or wireless keyboard
u PS/2 or serial mouse
2.2.1. Installation Procedures
The APOLLO system can be powered either by an AC
electrical outlet (100~240V/5A @60Hz, 200~240V/2.5A @50Hz)
or by DC power source (20~28VDC or 40~56VDC or 36~72VDC).
If the system is to be powered up by AC power, be sure to use
the right power cord (110V or 220V) for connection.
1. Connect the female end of the power cord to the AC inlet
located at the rear bottom side of the panel PC.
2. Connect the 3-pin male end of the power cord to an
electrical outlet.
3. Connect a PS/2 keyboard or an AT keyboard to keyboard
port. If you are using an AT keyboard, you need an
adapter (AT to PS/2 KB) for this connection.
4. Connect the PS/2 mouse to the PS/2 mouse port. If you

2.2.2. Running the BIOS Setup
If you are a commercial user, the APOLLO 120/150 III should
have been properly set up and configured by your dealer. You
may still find it necessary to change the system configuration
information. In this case, you need to run the system’s BIOS
setup program.
Under the following conditions, the CMOS settings are to be
changed.
1. The system is starting for the first time.
2. The hardware devices attached to the APOLLO III system
have been changed.
3. The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration
information has been erased.
The BIOS setup program is stored in ROM, which can be
accessed by pressing <DEL> key on the keyboard
immediately when the system is powered on.
In order to retain the specified setup information when the
system power is turned off, the system setup information is
stored in a battery-backed CMOS RAM. The battery is to
ensure the settings will not be erased when the computer is
turned off or reset. When the computer is powered on again,
the system will read the settings stored in the CMOS RAM and
compare them to the equipment check conducted during the
power on self-test (POST). If any error or mismatch occurs,
an error message will be shown on the screen and the
computer will be prompted to run the setup program.
To change the BIOS setup, please refer to Chapter 7 for more
information.
