1.1 General Overview
PPC-5xxx-9455 Panel PC
Figure 1-1: PPC-5xxx-9455
The PPC-5xxx-9455 flat panel PC is for industrial environments like production lines and
machine automation. The PPC-5xxx-9455 provides all the features of a PC, combined
with a touch panel screen for mouse and keyboard free data input. The PPC-5xxx-9455
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 PPC-5xxx-9455 to connect to a second screen for duplicating the screen
contents or extending the user interface.
1.1.1 PPC-5xxx-9455 Model Variations

3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
PPC-5xxx-9455 may result in permanent damage to the
PPC-5xxx-9455 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the PPC-5xxx-9455. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is critical
that the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to whenever handling the
PPC-5xxx-9455 or any other electrical component.
Wear an anti-static wristband - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
PPC-5xxx-9455 Panel PC
help to prevent ESD from damaging the PPC-5xxx-9455.
Self-grounding - Touch a grounded conducting material before handling and
periodically while handling the PPC-5xxx-9455.
Use an anti-static pad - When configuring the PPC-5xxx-9455, place it on an
antic-static pad to reduce the possibility of ESD damage.
Only handle the edges of the PPC-5xxx-9455 - When handling the
PPC-5xxx-9455, hold it by its edges.
3.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the PPC-5xxx-9455 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the PPC-5xxx-9455 does not
fall out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section
3.1.
3.3 are present.

4.5 Jumper Settings
NOTE:
These jumper settings and the jumper locations are described in detail
in the user manual that came with the POS-9455 motherboard. Please
refer to the manual for more detailed descriptions of the jumper
settings.
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 POS-9455 comes with fifteen jumpers (Table 3-1).

4.7 Mounting the System
WARNING!
When mounting the PPC-5xxx-9455 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 PPC-5xxx-9455 are:
Wall mounting
Panel mounting
Arm mounting
Rack mounting
The mounting methods are fully described below.
4.7.1 Wall Mounting
To mount the PPC-5xxx-9455 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).
Page 55
Page 74
Figure 4-15: Wall-mounting Bracket
PPC-5xxx-9455 Panel PC
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.
Page 56
Page 75
PPC-5xxx-9455 Panel PC
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 (
from the wall-mounting bracket accidentally. Step 0:
Figure 4-17). This step is to avoid the panel PC being pushed apart

4.7.2 Panel/ Mounting
To mount the PPC-5xxx-9455 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 PPC-5xxx-9455.
Step 2: Cut out a section of the panel that corresponds to the rear panel dimensions of
the PPC-5xxx-9455. The recommended cutout sizes are shown below

4.7.3 Rack and Cabinet Installation
To mount the PPC-5xxx-9455 into a rack/cabinet, please follow the steps below.
Page 61
Page 80
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 PPC-5xxx-9455 is VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) compliant and
can be mounted on an arm with a 100 mm interface pad. To mount the PPC-5xxx-9455 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
PPC-5xxx-9455 Panel PC
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 PPC-5xxx-9455 flat
panel PC.
Step 2: Once the mounting arm has been firmly attached to its surface, lift the
PPC-5xxx-9455 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
PPC-5xxx-9455 flat panel PC. The PPC-5xxx-9455 flat panel PC arm mount
retention screw holes are shown in Figure 3-18.
Page 62
Page 81
PPC-5xxx-9455 Panel PC
Figure 4-23: Arm Mount Retention Screw Holes
Step 4: Secure the PPC-5xxx-9455 to the interface pad by inserting four retention
screws through the mounting arm interface pad and into the PPC-5xxx-9455 flat
panel PC.
