3.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the EP
series may result in permanent damage to the EP series and severe
injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the PPC-37xxA-N26. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the PPC-37xxA-N26 is accessed internally, or any other
electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered
to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: - Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the PPC-37xxA-N26, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
PPC-37xxA-N26.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.

3.2 Installation Precautions

When installing the panel PC, please follow the precautions listed below:
Power turned off: When installing the panel PC, make sure the power is off.
Failing to turn off the power may cause severe injury to the body and/or
damage to the system.
Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify
onboard functionalities.
Page 19
Page 36
Anti-static Discharge : If a user open the rear panel of the panel PC, to
configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground themselves
first and wear and anti-static wristband.

3.6 Jumper Settings

NOTE:
A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an
electrical circuit. It consists of two or three 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 following jumpers can be found on the motherboard installed in the PPC-37xxA-N26.
Page 22
Before the PPC-37xxA-N26 is installed, the jumpers must be set in accordance with the
desired configuration. The jumpers on the PPC-37xxA-N26 motherboard are listed in
