1.1 Overview

SAILORPC-12A Panel PC
Figure 1-1: SAILORPC-12A
NOTE:
IEI recommends Windows XP Embedded preinstalled on a
CompactFlash® card. Cards with Windows XP Embedded are
available from IEI. Contact
http://www.ieiworld.com for more information.
The SAILORPC-12A is a waterproof, IP67 compliant panel PC. The SAILORPC-12A can
be submerged to 1 m and peripheral devices can be connected by using the waterproof
M12 connectors on the rear panel.
The SAILORPC-12A is designed for environments with extreme amounts of dust and
water. The waterproof design is not only for wet environments but for any place where a
lot of dust and water can compromise a typical panel PC.

3.4 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.
