Handling Guidelines
Observe these guidelines for proper usage:
❏
Make sure you re ad the safety pre ca utions in this manual
before you use the IM-515.
❏
Make sure the total power requirements of all devices receiv ing
power from the IM-515 does not exceed the IM-515 power
limitations. See Appendix D for details.
❏
When you transport the IM-5 15 i n i ts ship pi ng container, make
sure you replace the transportation screw.
❏
Do not block any slots or openings on the IM-515. These are
provided for the ventilation necessary to ensure reliable
operation and protection from overheating.
❏
TM printer position fittings are only for positioning and not for
mounting the TM printer. Be careful not to let the TM printer
drop when moving the unit.
❏
Never hold the IM-515 by the back cover. This cover cannot
support the weight of the unit, so it may fall onto the floor.
❏
Except when installing the PC card, always use the PC card
cover (*) to protect it from static electricity.
(*) If you have the optional OI-B05, close the front cover of the
IM-515. If you have the optional OI-B06, attach the PCMCIA
slot cover enclosed with the OI-B06 package. See page 2-17 for
details on the PCMCIA slot cover.
❏
When you move the IM-515, make sure the IM module is
secured by the plate lock. The module could fall fr om t he cov er
if it isn’t secured.
❏
Make sure any device connected to the AC outlet of the power
supply does not consume more than 200 VA.
Introduction 11
❏
Do not connect to electri cal outl ets that are cl ose to devices that
generate voltage fluctuations or electrical noise. In particular,
stay clear of devices that use large electric motors.
❏
Do not place the side of the power supply connecting the
power cord or DC cables down.
❏
Always connect the DC cables before plugging the power cord
into the wall outlet.
❏
Be sure to push the end of the power cord all the way into the
AC inlet. The fitting on the cord should make contact with the
back of the inlet.
❏
When disconnecting power, always unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet before disconnecting the DC cables.
❏
When disconnecting a DC cable, hold it firmly at the connector
area. Do not tug on the cord itself.
❏
To clean the unit, wipe with a dry or slightly moistened (and
firmly wrung) cloth. Never clean the unit while it is plugged
into the wall outlet.
❏
Never attempt to stretch the cords to make a connection. The
power cord and DC cables must have adequate slack at all
times during use.
❏
Never allow the power supply to hang from the power cord or
DC cables.

14 Introduction
Chapter 1
Set Up Guidelines
The IM-515 is designed so it can use various combinations of
components or peripherals. Therefore, the setup procedure
depends on your system configuration. This chapter explains the
essential information for setting up your IM-515 system.
General Setup Procedure
The following table shows you the ge neral procedur e for setting u p
the IM-515. Follow this procedure for whatever you install.
Detailed descriptions for each items follow this section.
General Setup Procedure
Step # Set up items
Step 1 Install internal components
Step 2 Set jumpers and DIP switches
Step 3 Connect the TM printer
Step 4 Connect your peripherals
Step 5 Connect the power supply
Step 6 Attach the back cover
Step 7 Set the system configuration using BIOS setup
Step 8 Set the supervisor password
Step 9 Install your OS (operating system) or application software
Step 10 Charge the battery
Set Up Guidelines 1-1
Precautions
If you open the cover of the IM-515, observe these precautions:
Caution
Components on the internal boards in the IM-515 can get
hot. Turn off the IM-515, and wait at least 10 minutes for
components to cool before you remove the cover.
To prevent damage, make sure you turn off the IM-515 and
disconnect the power supply. You must disconnect the
power supply because the electrical current is flowing in
some parts of the circuit even when t he power is turned off.
To prevent damage, make sure you disconnect any
peripheral devices.
To avoid generating static electricity and damaging the
components, ground yourself by touching a grounded met al
surface before you touch any component.
To avoid contamination, do not touch the connectors on the
components.
Step 1 - Installing Internal Components
If you want to install internal components in the IM-515, you need
to remove the transportation screw and the cover first. Check the
table below to see where these procedures are described; then
follow the instructions on that page.

Removing the IM module from the cover 2-2
1-2 Set Up Guidelines
Once you remove the cover from the IM module, turn to the
appropriate sections in Chapter 2 and follow the instructions for
installing the component.

When you have the components installed, go to next section.
Step 2 - Jumper/DIP Switch Settings
If you installed a CPU, you need to set the jumpers and DIP
switches. If you want to provide +5 V or +12 V power to COM1 to
COM4, you also need to set the jumpers.
Check the table below to see wher e these p rocedures are described;
then follow the instructions on that page.

Step 3 - Connecting the TM Printer
The following TM printers can be connected to the IM-515:
❏
EPSON TM-H5000/H5000II series
❏
EPSON TM-U950 series
To set up the TM printer itself, see the operator’s manual for the
TM printer.
Follow these steps to connect the TM printer:
Note:
You need an appropriate interface cable. The interface cable is not
enclosed in your IM-515 package.
1. Set the TM printer on the IM-515 so that the printer hooks fit
into the hol lows in the TM printer.
1-4 Set Up Guidelines
2. Connect the interface cable to the TM printer, referring to the
operator’s manual for the TM printer.

3. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the IM-515.
4. Connect the DC cable of the power supply to the TM printer.
Set Up Guidelines 1-5
Step 4 - Connecting Your Peripherals
You can connect various peripherals to the IM module using the
connectors on the back panel.
Caution
