WARNING!
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the PPC-51xxA-G41/WIDS-51xA-G41 may result in permanent damage to the PPC-51xxA-G41/WIDS-51xA-G41 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the PPC-51xxA-G41/WIDS-51xA-G41. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is critical that the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to whenever handling the PPC-51xxA-G41/WIDS-51xA-G41 or any other electrical component.
Wear an anti-static wristband - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the PPC-51xxA-G41/WIDS-51xA-G41.
Self-grounding - Touch a grounded conducting material before handling and
periodically while handling the PPC-51xxA-G41/WIDS-51xA-G41.
Use an anti-static pad - When configuring the
PPC-51xxA-G41/WIDS-51xA-G41, place it on an antic-static pad t o reduce the possibility of ESD damage.
Only handle the edges of the PPC-51xxA-G41/WIDS-51xA-G41 - When
handling the PPC-51xxA-G41/WIDS-51xA-G41, hold it by its edges.

3.2 Unpacking Precautions

When the PPC-51xxA-G41/WIDS-51xA-G41 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-51xxA-G41/WIDS-51xA-G41 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:
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 following jumpers can be found on the motherboard installed in the PPC-51xxA-G41/WIDS-51xA-G41. Before the PPC-51xxA-G41/WIDS-51xA-G41 is

4.11 Mounting the System

WARNING!
When mounting the PPC-51xxA-G41/WIDS-51xA-G41 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-51xxA-G41/WIDS-51xA-G41 are:
Wall mounting Panel mounting Arm mounting Rack mounting
The mounting methods are fully described below.

4.11.1 Wall Mounting

To mount the PPC-51xxA-G41/WIDS-51xA-G41 flat panel PC onto a wall, please follow the steps below.
Page 55
Page 68
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).
PPC-51xxA-G41/WIDS-51xA-G41 Panel PC
Page 56
Figure 4-28: Wall-mounting Bracket
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.
Page 69
PPC-51xxA-G41/WIDS-51xA-G41 Panel PC
NOTE:
In the diagram below the bracket is already installed on the wall.
Figure 4-29: 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 9:
Figure 4-30). This step is to avoid the panel PC being pushed apart
