4.1 Installation Considerations
4.1.1 Installation Precautions
When installing the RPC-6010G, please follow the precautions listed below:
Read the user manual: The user manual provides a complete description of
the RPC-6010G rackmount workstation, installation instructions and
configuration options.
Turn Off Power: When installing the RPC-6010G rackmount workstation,
make sure the power is off. Failing to turn off the power may cause severe
injury to the user and/or damage the system.
Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers and technicians should install
and modify the RPC-6010G rackmount workstation. Non-certified engineers
or technicians should not attempt to install the RPC-6010G rackmount
RPC-6010G Rackmount LCD Workstation
workstation.
Mounting: The RPC-6010G rackmount workstations are heavy devices.
When rack mounting the RPC-6010G rackmount workstation, please ensure
that at least two people are assisting with the procedure.
Anti-static Discharge: Electronic components like CPU cards and
backplanes must be installed into the RPC-6010G rackmount workstation.
Follow proper grounding procedures before installing these components.
4.1.2 Installation Prerequisites
Prepare the following before installing the RPC-6010G rackmount workstation:
Completely installed CPU card: The RPC-6010G rackmount workstation
CPU card is separately purchased. Before installing the RPC-6010G
rackmount workstation, a CPU card should be properly installed. The
following components may also have to be installed (refer to the user manual
that came with the CPU card):
Page 18
o CPU
o Heatsink and cooling fan
o Memory modules (DIMMs)
o Compact flash disks
RPC-6010G Rackmount LCD Workstation
Backplane/Motherboard: The backplane or motherboard installed in the
RPC-6010G rackmount workstation is separately purchased.
Disk Drives: Disk drives installed into the RPC-6010G rackmount workstation
are separately purchased. Disk drive support is CPU card dependent. Before
purchasing a CPU card or disk drives, please check the CPU card disk drive
support.
4.2 Unpacking
4.2.1 Packaging
When shipped, the RPC-6010G rackmount workstation is wrapped in a plastic bag. Two
polystyrene ends are placed on either side of the RPC-6010G rackmount workstation. The
workstation is then placed into a first (internal) cardboard box. This box is then sealed and
placed into a second (external) cardboard box. The second box is also sealed. A small
box containing accessory items is placed within the internal (first) box.
4.2.2 Unpacking Procedure
To unpack the RPC-6010G rackmount workstation, follow the steps below:
NOTE:
The front side LCD screen has a protective plastic cover stuck to the screen.
Remove the plastic cover only after the RPC-6010G rackmount workstation has
been properly installed. This ensures the screen is protected during the
installation process.
Step 1:
Use box cutters, a knife or a sharp pair of scissors to open the top of the external
(second) box.
Step 2:
Open the external (second) box.

4.3 Pre-installation Preparation
4.3.1 System Planning
User supplied CPU cards and backplanes or motherboards need to be installed in the
system before installing the RPC-6010G rackmount workstation.
The backplane determines the following system parameters:
CPU card type
Expandability
The CPU card determines the following system parameters:
CPU
Embedded graphics
4.3.2 Tools
System memory
HDD, FDD and optical drive connectivity and capacity
Speed
It is therefore proper to correctly specify the system before the system is installed. This
ensures that prudent selections can be made when the system is being developed.
Before installing the RPC-6010G rackmount workstation, make sure the following tools
are on hand:
Philips (crosshead) screwdriver: All the retention screws on the system are
Philips screws.
Soft working mat: When installing the RPC-6010G rackmount workstation,
the screen should be placed face down on a soft working mat.

& eight-wire models. The controller directly communicates with the PC system through the
touch screen communications interface. The controller design is superior in sensitivity,
accuracy, and friendly operation. The touch screen driver emulates the left mouse button
and the right mouse button functions.
The touch screen driver supports the following operating systems:
RPC-6010G Rackmount LCD Workstation
Microsoft Windows versions:
o Microsoft Windows 95
o Microsoft Windows 98
o Microsoft Windows ME
o Microsoft Windows 2000
o Microsoft Windows NT
o Microsoft Windows XP
o Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
Microsoft Windows CE versions:
o Microsoft Windows CE 2.12
o Microsoft Windows CE 3.0
