Figure 1-1: STE 1xGTx

The STE 1xGTx flat panel PC is for industrial environments like production lines and
machine automation. The STE 1xGTx provides all the features of a PC, combined with a
touch panel screen for mouse and keyboard free data input. The STE 1xGTx provides
wired and, optionally, wireless networking for integration into company networks. All major
external device connections including USB, serial and parallel port connectors. Storage
options include a 2.5” hard drive and a CompactFlash® slot, allowing for flexibility in
choosing solid state drives or traditional hard drives. A VGA output on the rear panel
allows the STE 1xGTx to connect to a second screen for duplicating the screen contents
or extending the user interface.

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.

CyberResearch® Panel PCs STE 1xGTx Series

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.

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).

Step 3: Slide the STE 1xGTx through the hole until the metal frame is flush against the

panel.

Step 4: Insert the panel mounting clamps into the pre-formed holes along the edges of

the STE 1xGTx, behind the metal frame (Figure 4-21). Refer to the mounting kit
packing list for the required number of mounting clam ps.

To mount the STE 1xGTx into a rack/cabinet, please follow the steps below.

62 ©Copyright 2011 CyberResearch, Inc.

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

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.
