1.1 Overview
PPC-F12B/15B/17B-BTi Panel PC
Figure 1-1: PPC-F12B/15B/17B-BTi Series Panel PC
The PPC-F12B/15B/17B-BTi series is a quad-core Intel® Celeron® processor J1900
powered flat bezel panel PC with a rich variety of functions and peripherals. The rugged
and trendy design can be applied in harsh industrial environments and enriches aesthetic
experience at the same time.
The Intel® Celeron® processor J1900 is a SoC (System-on-Chip) that ensures optimal
memory, graphics, and peripheral I/O support. The system equips with SATA 6Gb/s
interface, supporting both SATA HDD and SSD. In addition, the PPC-F12B/15B/17B-BTi
features Intelligent Platform Management Interface 2.0 (IPMI 2.0) that helps lower the
overall costs of server management by enabling users to maximize IT resource, save time
and manage multiple systems. The PPC-F12B/15B/17B-BTi supports IPMI 2.0 through
the optional iRIS-2400 module.
The major external device connections include USB 3.0, USB 2.0, serial port, VGA and
Page 2
HDMI connectors. Furthermore, the PPC-F12B/15B/17B-BTi has two full-size/half-size
PCIe Mini card slots, allowing installation of a wide variety of PCIe Mini cards, such as
Wi-Fi modules and mSATA modules.

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-F12B/15B/17B-BTi. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the PPC-F12B/15B/17B-BTi 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-F12B/15B/17B-BTi, place
it on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
PPC-F12B/15B/17B-BTi.
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.
Page 17
Page 32
Mounting: The PPC-F12B/15B/17B-BTi is a heavy device. When mounting
the system onto a rack, panel, wall or arm, please make sure that at least two
people are assisting with the procedure.
Anti-static Discharge : If a user open the rear panel of the panel PC, to
configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground themselves
first and wear an anti-static wristband.

3.17 IPMI Setup Procedure
The PPC-F12B/15B/17B-BTi features Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
that helps lower the overall costs of server management by enabling users to maximize IT
resources, save time and manage multiple systems. The PPC-F12B/15B/17B-BTi
supports IPMI 2.0 through the optional iRIS-2400 module. Follow the steps below to setup
icon on the notification area. It allows users to
IPMI.
3.17.1 Managed System Hardware Setup
The hardware configuration of the managed system (PPC-F12B/15B/17B-BTi) is
described below.
Step 1: Install an iRIS-2400 module to the iRIS-2400 module slot (refer to Section 3.9).
Step 2: Make
Step 3: Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 LAN port with iRIS label (Figure 1-5).
sure at least one DDR3 SO-DIMM is installed in one of the SO-DIMM
sockets. If multiple SO-DIMMs are installed, all of the SO-DIMMs must be same
size, same speed and same brand to get the best performance.
3.17.2 Using the IEI iMAN Web GUI
Page 45
Page 60
To manage a client system from a remote console using IEI iMAN Web GUI, follow the
steps below.
Step 1: Obtain the IP address of the managed system. It is recommended to use the
IPMI Tool on the managed system to obtain the IP address. To use IPMI Tool to
obtain IP address, follow the steps below:
a. Copy the Ipmitool.exe file to a bootable USB flash drive.
b. Insert the USB flash drive to the PPC-F12B/15B/17B-BTi
c. The PPC-F12B/15B/17B-BTi boots from the USB flash drive
d. Enter the following command: ipmitool 20 30 02 01 03 00 00
(there is a space between each two-digit number)
e. A serial of number shows. The last four two-digit hexadecimal numbers are
the IP address. Convert the hexadecimal numbers to decimal numbers.
PPC-F12B/15B/17B-BTi Panel PC
Step 2: On the remote management console, open a web browser. Enter the managed
system IP address in the web browser (Figure 3-36).
Figure 3-36: IEI iMAN Web Address
Step 3: The login page appears in the web browser.
Step 4: Enter the user name and password to login the system. The default login
username and password are:
-Username: admin
-Password: admin
Step 5: Press the login button to login the system.
Step 6: The IEI iMAN Web Interface appears. Step 0:
