About this Manual

Static Electricity Precautions

An electronic file of this manual is included in the CD. To view the user’s manual in the CD, in­sert the CD into a CD-ROM drive. The autorun screen (Main Board Utility CD) will appear. Click “User’s Manual” on the main menu.

Warranty

1. Warranty does not cover damages or failures that arised from misuse of the product, inability to use the product, unauthorized replacement or alteration of components and product specifications.
2. The warranty is void if the product has been subjected to physical abuse, improper instal­lation, modification, accidents or unauthorized repair of the product.
3. Unless otherwise instructed in this user’s manual, the user may not, under any circum­stances, attempt to perform service, adjustments or repairs on the product, whether in or out of warranty. It must be returned to the purchase point, factory or authorized service agency for all such work.
4. We will not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental or consequencial damages to the product that has been modified or altered.
It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your PC, system board, components or devices even before installing them in your system unit. Static electrical discharge can damage computer components without causing any signs of physical damage. You must take extra care in han­dling them to ensure against electrostatic build-up.
1. To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the system board in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
2. Wear an antistatic wrist strap.
3. Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.
4. Hold the device only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of the components, contacts
or connections.
5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold modules or con nectors by their ends.
Important:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drive and other com­ponents. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD worksta­tion only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system chas­sis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.

Safety Measures

To avoid damage to the system:
• Use the correct AC input voltage range.
Chapter 1 Introduction
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
• Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis cover for installation or servic-
ing. After installation or servicing, cover the system chassis before plugging the power cord. Battery:
• Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommend by the manufacturer.
• Dispose of used batteries according to local ordinance.

Safety Precautions

About the Package

• Use the correct DC input voltage range.
• Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis cover for installation or servic­ing. After installation or servicing, cover the system chassis before plugging the power cord.
• Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommend by the manufacturer.
• Dispose of used batteries according to local ordinance.
• Keep this system away from humidity.
• Place the system on a stable surface. Dropping it or letting it fall may cause damage.
• The openings on the system are for air ventilation to protect the system from overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.
• Place the power cord in such a way that it will not be stepped on. Do not place anything on top of the power cord. Use a power cord that has been approved for use with the system and that it matches the voltage and current marked on the system’s electrical range label.
• If the system will not be used for a long time, disconnect it from the power source to avoid damage by transient overvoltage.
• If one of the following occurs, consult a service personnel:
- The power cord or plug is damaged.
- Liquid has penetrated the system.
- The system has been exposed to moisture.
- The system is not working properly.
- The system dropped or is damaged.
The package contains the following items. If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact your dealer or sales representative for assistance.
• 1 7” Touch Panel PC
• 1 12V power adapter
• 1 CD disk includes: Manual
• 1 Quick Installation Guide
Optional Items
• Wall Mount kit
• Panel Mount kit
• Power Cord The board and accessories in the package may not come similar to the information listed
above. This may differ in accordance to the sales region or models in which it was sold. For more information about the standard package in your region, please contact your dealer or sales representative.
Before Using the System
Before powering-on the system, prepare the basic system components. If you are installing the system board in a new system, you will need at least the following
internal components.
• Memory module
• Storage devices such as hard disk drive, CD-ROM, etc. You will also need external system peripherals you intend to use which will normally include at
least a keyboard, a mouse and a video display monitor.
- The system has obvious signs of breakage.
• The unit uses a three-wire ground cable which is equipped with a third pin to ground the unit and prevent electric shock. Do not defeat the purpose of this pin. If your outlet does not support this kind of plug, contact your electrician to replace the outlet.
• Disconnect the system from the DC outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth. Do not use liquid or spray detergents for cleaning.

Chapter 2 - Getting Started

Preparing the System

Before you start using the system, you need the following items:
SATA hard drive
AC power adapter
PS/2 or USB keyboard
PS/2 or USB mouse
CD-ROM drive (for installing software/drivers)
Memory module (optional)

Installing Devices

The following are devices that can be installed in the system.
• Memory module
SATA hard drive
Mini PCIe card

Configuring the BIOS

To get you started, you may need to change configurations such as the date, time and the type of hard disk drive.
1. Power-on the system.
2. After the memory test, the message “Press DEL to run setup” will appear on the screen. Press the Delete key to enter the AMI BIOS setup utility.

Installing the Operating System

Most operating system software are provided in a CD therefore you need to install a CD-ROM drive in order to use the CD.
Make sure a 2.5” SATA drive is already installed.
1. Refer to the following chapters for information on connecting a CD-ROM drive and install­ing a SATA drive.
2. Refer to your operating system manual for instructions on installing the operating system.

Installing the Drivers

The system package includes a CD disk. The CD includes drivers that must be installed to pro­vide the best system performance. Refer to the Supported Software chapter for instructions on installing the drivers.

Chapter 3 - Installing the Devices

Removing the Chassis Cover

1. Make sure the system and all other peripheral devices connected to it have been powered-
off.
2. Disconnect all power cords and cables.
3. The 8 mounting screws on the sides of the system are used to secure the cover to the
chassis. Remove these screws and then put them in a safe place for later use.
5. The SODIMM socket is readily accessible after removing the chassis cover.

2. Note the key on the socket. The key ensures the module can be plugged into the socket in
only one direction.
3. Grasping the module by its edges, align the module into the socket at an approximately 30 degrees angle. Apply firm even pressure to each end of the module until it slips down into the socket. The contact fingers on the edge of the module will almost completely disappear inside the socket.
