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.

NOTE:
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).

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.
The methods of mounting the STE 1xGTx are:
Wall mounting Panel mounting Arm mounting Rack mounting
The mounting methods are fully described below.
4.7.1 Wall Mounting
To mount the STE 1xGTx flat panel PC onto a wall, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Select the location on the wall for the wall-mounting bracket.
Step 2: Carefully mark the locations of the four bracket screw holes on the wall.
Step 3: Drill four pilot holes at the marked locations on the wall for the bracket retention
screws.
Step 4: Align the wall-mounting bracket screw holes with the pilot holes.
Step 5: Secure the mounting-bracket to the wall by inserting the retention screws into
the four pilot holes and tightening them (see Figure 3-11).
56 ©Copyright 2011 CyberResearch, Inc.
Page 75
CyberResearch® Panel PCs STE 1xGTx Series
Figure 4-15: Wall-mounting Bracket
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:

4.7.2 Panel/ Mounting
To mount the STE 1xGTx flat panel PC into a panel, please follow the steps below.
NOTE:
The maximum panel thickness should be no more than 6 mm.
Step 1: Select the position on the panel to mount the STE 1xGTx.
Step 2: Cut out a section of the panel that corresponds to the rear panel dimensions of
the STE 1xGTx. The recommended cutout sizes are shown below (Figure 4-18, Figure 4-19 and Figure 4-20).

CyberResearch® Panel PCs STE 1xGTx Series
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.

5.1 Introduction
A licensed copy of AMI BIOS is preprogrammed into the ROM BIOS. The BIOS setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This chapter describes how to access the BIOS setup program and the configuration options that may be changed.
5.1.1 Starting Setup
The AMI BIOS is activated when the computer is turned on. The setup program can be activated in one of two ways.
1. Press the D
2. Press the D
ELETE key as soon as the system is turned on or ELETE key when the “Press Del to enter SETUP”
message appears on the screen. 0.
If the message disappears before the D
ELETE key is pressed, restart the computer and try
again.
5.1.2 Using Setup
Use the arrow keys to highlight items, press ENTER to select, use the PageUp and PageDown keys to change entries, press F1 for help and press E keys are shown in.
Key Function
Up arrow Move to previous item Down arrow Move to next item Left arrow Move to the item on the left hand side

When F1 is pressed a small help window describing the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item appears. To exit the Help Window press E the F1 key again.
5.1.4 Unable to Reboot After Configuration Changes
If the computer cannot boot after changes to the system configuration is made, CMOS defaults. Use the jumper described in Section 4.5.
5.1.5 BIOS Menu Bar
The menu bar on top of the BIOS screen has the following main items:
Main Changes the basic system configuration.
 
Advanced Changes the advanced system settings.
PCIPnP Changes the advanced PCI/PnP Settings
