3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the STE
1xGTx may result in permanent damage to the STE 1xGTx and severe
injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the STE 1xGTx. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is critical that
the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to whenever handling the STE
1xGTx or any other electrical component.
Wear an anti-static wristband - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the STE 1xGTx.
Self-grounding - Touch a grounded conducting material before handling and
periodically while handling the STE 1xGTx.
Use an anti-static pad - When configuring the STE 1xGTx, place it on an
antic-static pad to reduce the possibility of ESD damage.
Only handle the edges of the STE 1xGTx - When handling the STE 1xGTx,
hold it by its edges.
3.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the STE 1xGTx is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 3.1.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the STE 1xGTx does not fall
out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section 3.3 are present.
If any components listed in the checklist below are missing, do not
proceed with the installation. Contact a CyberResearch sales engineer
immediately via our website www.cyberresearch.com
643-5000, or e-mail:sales@cyberresearch.com.

A jumper is a metal bridge that is used to close an electrical circuit. 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/SHORT a jumper means connecting the pins of the jumper
with the plastic clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the plastic
clip from a jumper.
The STE 17GTx motherboard comes with fifteen jumpers (Table 3-1).
The AT/ATX power selection switch selects AT or ATX power for the STE 1xGTx. ATX
power has more power saving capabilities than AT power.

4.5.2 Clear CMOS Setup (JP2)
If the motherboard fails to boot due to improper BIOS settings, use this jumper to clear the
CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. To do this, use the jumper cap to
close pins 2 and 3 for a few seconds then reinstall the jumper clip back to pins 1 and 2.
If the “CMOS Settings Wrong” message displays during the boot up process, try to co rre ct
the fault by pressing the F1 to enter the CMOS Setup menu. Then do one of the following:
Enter the correct CMOS setting
Load Optimal Defaults
After one of the above has been done, save the changes and exit the CMOS Setup menu.

4.6.3 CD/DVD Drive Installation
To install a CD/DVD drive, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Remove the back cover (Section 4.4).
Step 2: Attach the CD/DVD drive adapter to the CD/DVD-ROM if it is an IDE drive (if it is
a SATA drive, proceed to Step 5:). Attach a CD/DVD drive adapter to a CD/DVD
drive by aligning the two retention screw holes in the CD/DVD drive adapter with
the retention screw holes on the rear side of the CD/DVD drive.
Step 3: Place two spacers between the CD/DVD drive and CD/DVD drive adapter.
Step 4: Insert two retention screws and secure the adapter to the CD/DVD drive
(Figure 4-9).

4.7 Mounting the System
WARNING!
When mounting the STE 1xGTx flat panel PC onto an arm, wall or into
a panel, it is advisable to have more than one person help with the
installation to prevent accidental damage to the panel and avoid
personal injury.
Step 6: Insert the four monitor mounting screws provided in the wall mounting kit into the
four screw holes on the real panel of the monitor and tighten until the screw
shank is secured against the rear panel (see Figure 3-12).
Step 7: Align the mounting screws on the monitor rear panel with the mounting holes on
the bracket.
Step 8: Carefully insert the screws through the holes and gently pull the monitor
downwards until the monitor rests securely in the slotted holes (see
Figure 3-12). Ensure that all four of the mounting screws fit snuggly into their
respective slotted holes.
NOTE:
In the diagram below the bracket is already installed on the wall.

Figure 4-16: Mount the Chassis
Step 9: Secure the panel PC with the wall-mounting kit. To do this, stick the protective
cushion to the wall-mounting kit first. Then, put the wall-mounting kit on the top
panel of the panel PC. Carefully mark the location of the wall-mounting kit screw
holes on the wall. Drill a pilot hole at the marked location on the wall. Secure the
wall-mounting kit to the wall by inserting a retention screw into the pilot hole on
the wall (Figure 4-17). This step is to avoid the panel PC being pushed apart
from the wall-mounting bracket accidentally. Step 0:
Step 1: Secure the rack mounting bracket to two sides of the monitor using the supplied
retention screws (Figure 3-17). Each bracket requires four screws.
Step 2: Secure the rack mounting bracket to the rack by inserting and tightening the
supplied mounting nuts and bolts (Figur e 3-17). Each bracket requires three
nuts and bolts for installati on. Step 0:
4.7.4 Arm Mounting
The STE 1xGTx is VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) compliant and can be
mounted on an arm with a 100 mm interface pad. To mount the STE 1xGTx on an arm,
please follow the steps below.
Step 1: The arm is a separately purchased item. Please correctly mount the arm onto
the surface it uses as a base. To do this, refer to the installation documentation
that came with the mounting arm.
NOTE:
When purchasing the arm please ensure that it is VESA compliant and
that the arm has a 100 mm interface pad. If the mounting arm is not
VESA compliant, it cannot be used to support the STE 1xGTx flat panel
PC.
Step 2: Once the mounting arm has been firmly attached to its surface, lift the STE
1xGTx flat panel PC onto the interface pad of the mounting arm.
Step 3: Align the retention screw holes on the mounting arm interface with those in the
STE 1xGTx flat panel PC. The STE 1xGTx flat panel PC arm mount retention
screw holes are shown in Figure 3-18.

Two PS/2 connectors on the external peripheral interface panel facilitate the connection of
a mouse and a keyboard. To connect either device, plug the PS/2 connector at the end of
the keyboard or mouse cable into the corresponding PS/2 connector on the external
peripheral interface panel.
4.8.5 Parallel Port Connection
The parallel port is typically connected to a printer, but can also be connected to other
parallel devices.
4.8.6 Serial Port Connection
