PPC-5152-D525-E Panel PC

2.1 Unpacking

To unpack the flat panel PC, follow the steps below:
WARNING!
The front side LCD screen has a protective plastic cover stuck to the
screen. Only remove the plastic cover after the panel PC 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 that seals the top side of the
external (second) box.
Step 2: Open the external (second) box.
Step 3: Use box cutters, a knife or a sharp pair of scissors that seals the top side of the
internal (first) box.
Step 4: Lift the monitor out of the boxes.
Step 5: Remove both polystyrene ends, one from each side.
Step 6: Pull the plastic cover off the panel PC.
Step 7: Make sure all the components listed in the packing list are present. Step 0:

3.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the EP
series may result in permanent damage to the EP series and severe
injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the PPC-5152-D525-E. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the PPC-5152-D525-E is accessed internally, or any other
electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered
to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: - Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the PPC-5152-D525-E, place it
on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
PPC-5152-D525-E.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.

3.2 Installation Precautions

When installing the panel PC, please follow the precautions listed below:
Power turned off: When installing the panel PC, make sure the power is off.
Failing to turn off the power may cause severe injury to the body and/or
damage to the system.
Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify
onboard functionalities.
Anti-static Discharge : If a user open the rear panel of the panel PC, to
Page 19
Page 32
configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground themselves
first and wear and anti-static wristband.

3.8 Mounting the System

WARNING:
When mounting the flat panel PC onto an arm or onto the wall, it is
better to have more than one person to help with the installation to
make sure the flat panel PC does not fall down and get damaged.
The following installation options are available:
Arm mounting
Panel mounting
Rack/Cabinet mounting
Stand mounting
PPC-5152-D525-E Panel PC
The mounting methods are described below.
Wall mounting

3.8.1 Arm Mounting

The PPC-5152-D525-E can be installed on any arm that supports the standard VESA
mounting interface. An example arm is shown below.
Figure 3-11: VESA Compliant Arm
To install the PPC-5152-D525-E on the arm, follow the directions below.
Page 28
Page 41
PPC-5152-D525-E Panel PC
NOTE:
Make sure the arm supports standard VESA mounting. The
PPC-5152-D525-E uses a VESA mounting to attach to the arm.
Step 1: The arm is purchased separately. Follow the instructions in the arm's user
manual to securely attach the arm to the wall.
Step 2: Once the mounting arm has been firmly attached to the surface, lift the 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
panel PC. The arm mount retention screw holes are shown in Figure 3-12.
Figure 3-12: Arm Mounting Retention Screw Holes
Step 4: Secure the flat panel PC to the interface pad by inserting four retention screws
through the bottom of the mounting arm interface pad and into the flat panel PC.
Step 0:

Page 42

3.8.2 Panel Mounting

To mount the PPC-5152-D525-E flat panel PC into a panel, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Select the position in the panel to mount the panel PC.
Step 2: Cut out a section from the panel that corresponds to the dimensions of the flat
panel PC chassis. The panel section that is cut out must be smaller than the size
of the aluminum frame that surrounds the TFT LCD panel but just large enough
PPC-5152-D525-E Panel PC
for the chassis to fit through. Refer to
Figure 3-13: Suggested Panel Cut Out Size for PPC-5152-D525-E (Unit: mm)
554Figure 3-13 for the suggested cut out size.
Step 3: Slide the flat panel computer through the previously cut hole. The chassis at the
rear of the flat panel should slide easily through the hole. Only stop sliding the
Page 30
panel through the hole when the back of the front 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 frame. There are a total of 6 panel mounting clamps for
PPC-5152-D525-E.
Page 43
PPC-5152-D525-E Panel PC
Figure 3-14: Panel Mounting Clamp Slots (Side View)
Step 5: Tighten the screws that pass through the panel mounting clamps until the plastic
caps at the front of all the screws are firmly secured to the panel (
554Figure 3-15).

3.8.3 Rack/Cabinet Mounting

The PPC-5152-D525-E panel PC can be installed into a rack or cabinet. The installation
procedures are similar to the panel mounting installation. To do this, please follow the
steps below:
NOTE:
When purchasing the cabinet/rack installation bracket, make sure it is
compatible with both the PPC-5152-D525-E flat panel PC and the
rack/cabinet into which the PPC-5152-D525-E is installed.
Step 1: Slide the rear of the PPC-5152-D525-E panel PC through the rack/cabinet
Page 32
bracket until the aluminum frame is flush against the front of the bracket
(Figure 3-16).
Page 45
PPC-5152-D525-E Panel PC
Figure 3-16: The Rack/Cabinet Bracket
Step 2: Insert the rack mounting clamps into the pre-formed holes along the edges of
the panel PC, behind the ABS/PC plastic frame.
Step 3: Tighten the screws that pass through the rack mounting clamps until the plastic
caps at the front of all the screws are firmly secured to the bracket
(Figure 3-17).

Page 62

4.1 System Maintenance Introduction

If the components of the PPC-5152-D525-E fail they must be replaced. Components that
can be replaced include:
SO-DIMM module
WLAN Module
Please contact the system reseller or vendor to purchase the replacement parts. Back
cover removal instructions for the PPC-5152-D525-E are described below.

4.2 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
PPC-5152-D525-E Panel PC
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
PPC-5152-D525-E may result in permanent damage to the
PPC-5152-D525-E and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the PPC-5152-D525-E. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the PPC-5152-D525-E is accessed internally, or any other
electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered
to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: - Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the PPC-5152-D525-E, place it
Page 50
on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
PPC-5152-D525-E.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.

4.3 Turn off the Power

WARNING:
Failing to turn off the system before opening it can cause permanent
damage to the system and serious or fatal injury to the user.
Before any maintenance procedures are carried out on the system, make sure the system
is turned off.
To power off the system, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Locate the power switch. See
Step 2: Hold down the power switch for six seconds to power off the system. Step 0:

4.4 Opening the System

To access the PPC-5152-D525-E internally the back cover must be removed. To remove
the back cover, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Follow all anti-static procedures. See Section
Step 2: Turn off the power. See Section
