1.1 Overview
PPC-37xx-N270 Panel PC
Figure 1-1: PPC-37xx-N270 Panel PC
The PPC-37xx-N270 is an industrial flat panel PC. The PPC-37xx-N270 can be used for
machine control, production lines, kiosks and information stations. The PPC-37xx-N270 is
preinstalled with an Intel® Atom™ CPU for applications where more computing power is
needed.
The PPC-37xx-N270 supports a second monitor for presenting information to customers
or extending the display area. The second monitor can show different information to the
main screen, or duplicate the main screen content.
The PPC-37xx-N270 can be installed in a rack, on a VESA clamp or in a custom enclosure
with a hole of the correct size.
The PPC-37xx-N270 supports one 2.5” hard drive and a CompactFlash® disk for data and
application storage. CompactFlash® is most often used for thin-client applications, where
only basic functions are performed. A hard drive offers more storage space and is the
better choice for a general use computer.

1.1.3 Applications
The flat panel PC is designed for rigorous industrial environments where it may be
exposed to both heat and moisture. Its durability and strength also makes it an ideal
choice for public access computers. Some possible applications include:
Automated manufacturing processes
Public information gathering point
1.2 External Overview
The flat panel PC is a rectangular cubic structure that comprises of a screen, rear panel,
top panel, bottom panel and two side panels (left and right). An aluminum frame surrounds
the front screen. The rear panel provides screw holes for a wall-mounting bracket, and an
arm mounting interface. The bottom panel provides access to external interface
connectors that include LAN, USB 2.0, audio, VGA, serial port connectors and
