3.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:

Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the panel

PC may result in permanent damage to the panel PC and severe injury

to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,

including the PPC-F12B/15B/17B/19B-BTi. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.

It is therefore critical that whenever the PPC-F12B/15B/17B/19B-BTi is accessed

internally, or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static

precautions are strictly adhered to.

PPC-F12B/15B/17B/19B-BTi Panel PC

 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/19B-BTi,

place it on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging

the PPC-F12B/15B/17B/19B-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.

Page 18

 Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify

onboard functionalities.

PPC-F12B/15B/17B/19B-BTi Panel PC

 Mounting: The PPC-F12B/15B/17B/19B-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.

3.12 Mounting the System

WARNING!

When mounting the PPC-F12B/15B/17B/19B-BTi panel PC, it is

advisable to have more than one person help with the installation to

prevent accidental damage to the panel and avoid personal injury.

The methods of mounting the PPC-F12B/15B/17B/19B-BTi are:

 Wall mounting

 Panel mounting

 Rack mounting

 Arm mounting

PPC-F12B/15B/17B/19B-BTi Panel PC

 Stand mounting

The mounting methods are described in the following sections.

3.12.1 Wall Mounting

To mount the PPC-F12B/15B/17B/19B-BTi panel PC onto a 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.

Step 5: Secure the mounting bracket to the wall by inserting the retention screws into

the four pilot holes and tightening them (Figure 3-22).

Page 34

PPC-F12B/15B/17B/19B-BTi Panel PC

Figure 3-22: 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 monitor and tighten until the screw
shank is secured against the rear panel (Figure 3-23).

Step 7: Align the mounting screws on the monitor rear panel with the mounting holes on

the bracket.

Step 8: Carefully insert the screws through the holes and gently pull the monitor

downwards until the monitor rests securely in the slotted holes (Figure 3-23).

(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.

Step 2: On the remote management console, open a web browser. Enter the managed

system IP address in the web browser (Figure 3-52).
