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 WAFER-LX comes with three jumpers. They are listed below.

3.11 SATA - ALi RAID Driver Installation
CAUTION!
Because of the inherent limitations by AMD Geode CS5536 chipset, the ALi
M5283 SATA and RAID controller is implemented as a device that requires
device driver during the Windows installation process. To successfully
install the device driver, please carefully read the following instructions.
The ALi driver is especially required if SATA drives are the only hard disk drives in the
PPC-2706/PPC-2708 system. Otherwise, the Windows installation program may fail to
locate the hard drives whether configuring the SATA disk drives into RAID volumes or
using them as individual disk drives.
Page 38
Page 49
PPC-2706/PPC-2708 Panel PC
The system BIOS can identify SATA disk drives, but cannot control their operation. The
separately installed driver therefore is necessary.
3.11.1 Installation Steps During Windows XP Installation
Step 1: Enable SATA ROM using the BIOS configuration utility. The process has been
detailed in Appendix E.
Step 2: Locate the ALi installation driver folder within the Utility CD that came with the
motherboard.
Step 3: Copy files under a sub-directory named “SATA50XX” (taking Windows XP
installation as the example) to the root directory of floppy diskette (labeled driver
diskette). The file names are listed below:
disk1
5283096D.bin
txtsetup.oem
Step 4: Also copy the OS option directory “win98_me”, “win_nt”, or “win_xp”, and related
driver files in each directory.
Step 5: Boot from Windows installation CD-ROM (set CD-ROM as the 1st Boot Device),
when the Windows XP Setup blue screen appears and prompts users to Press
F6. Please press the F6 key, if third-party SCSI or RAID driver installation is
needed.
Step 6: The setup program continues, later when the setup program prompts users to
specify additional adapters, please press the S key.
Step 7: The setup program prompts user to insert the driver diskette. Please insert the
driver diskette, and press ENTER to continue.
Step 8: The follow-up window lists out the installation choices, please select ALi
SA TA/RAID Controller for Windows XP and press ENTER to continue.
Page 39
Page 50
Step 9: The follow-up window lists out the devices to be installed, in which selected ALi
controller(s) should be included.
Step 10: Repeat step 5, but select ALi A TA/RAID Controller at step 7. If both controllers
are installed, go to next step.
Step 11: If users want to install other devices, please operate at this time. If all devices
have been successfully installed, please go to next step.
Step 12: Press ENTER to continue Windows XP setup. Step 0:
PPC-2706/PPC-2708 Panel PC
3.11.2 Installation Steps under Existing Windows XP
After Windows XP is started, Windows system automatically finds the newly installed
adapter and prompts user to install its driver. Please follow these steps to install the driver:
Step 1: When the Found New Hardware Wizard windows appear (Mass Storage
Controller), select Install from a list or specify location (Advanced) and click Next
to continue.
Step 2: In the follow-up window, please select "Don't search, I will choose the driver to
install", then click Next to continue.
Step 3: In the follow-up window, please select SCSI and RAID controllers, and then click
Next to continue.
Step 4: In the follow-up window, click Have Disk, then insert the driver diskette and type
in the driver location: e.g., a CD-ROM, then click OK to continue.
Step 5: In the follow-up window, select ALi SATA/RAID Controller, then click Next to
continue.
Step 6: Confirm the follow-up windows and click the Finish button to continue.
Step 7: Please "confirm" the Digital Signature Not Found window when it appears, when
finished, please restart the computer.
Step 8: Repeat step 1, but select ALi ATA/RAID Controller at step 4.

3.12 Mounting the System
WARNING!
When mounting the flat panel PC onto an arm, onto the wall or onto a
panel, it is better to have more than one person to help with the installation
to make sure the panel PC does not fall down and get damaged.
The five methods of mounting the PPC-2706/PPC-2708 are listed below.
Wall mounting
Panel mounting
Arm mounting
Rack mounting
DIN mounting
The four mounting methods are described below.
3.12.1 Wall Mounting
To mount the flat panel PC onto the 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.
Page 41
Page 52
Step 5: Secure the mounting-bracket to the wall by inserting the retention screws into
PPC-2706/PPC-2708 Panel PC
the four pilot holes and tightening them (
Figure 3-24).
Figure 3-24: 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 flat panel PC and tighten until the screw
shank is secured against the rear panel (

To mount the PPC-2708 flat panel PC into a panel, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Select the position on the panel to mount the PPC-2708.
Step 2: Cut out a section from the panel that corresponds to the rear panel dimensions
of the PPC-2708. Take care that the panel section that is cut out is smaller than
the overall size of the metal frame that surrounds the PPC-2708 but just large
enough for the rear panel of the PPC-2708 to fit through (
Figure 3-29).

Step 3: Slide the PPC-2708 through the hole until the aluminum frame is flush against
the panel.
Step 4: Insert the panel mounting clamps into the pre-formed holes along the edges of
the chassis, behind the aluminum frame. There are a total of 8 panel mounting
clamps.
Step 5: Tighten the screws that pass through the panel mounting clamps until the plastic

3.12.3 Arm Mounting
The PPC-2706/PPC-2708 is VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) compliant
and can be mounted on an arm with a 100mm interface pad. To mount the
PPC-2706//PPC-2708 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
that came with the mounting arm.
Page 46
Page 57
PPC-2706/PPC-2708 Panel PC
NOTE:
When purchasing the arm please ensure that it is VESA compliant and that
the arm has a 100mm interface pad. If the mounting arm is not VESA
compliant it cannot be used to support the PPC-2706/PPC-2708 flat panel
PC.
Step 2: Once the mounting arm has been firmly attached to the surface, lift the 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
flat panel PC. The flat panel PC arm mount retention screw holes are shown in
Figure 3-31.

4.1 Gasket Replacement
A gasket used for a long time may gradually lose its ability to protect the monitor from
fluids and vapors; scratches or dirt may also accumulate. It is recommended that the
gasket be replaced yearly.
NOTE:
If the monitor is mounted vertically, first remove it and place it on a flat, level
surface with the display screen facing down before changing the gasket.
