1.1 Overview

Figure 1-1: PPC-FxxA-H81 Panel PC
PPC-FxxA-H81 Panel PC
The PPC-FxxA-H81 is a heavy industrial panel PC with rugged and trendy design which
can be applied in harsh industrial environments and enriches aesthetic experience at the
same time. The PPC-FxxA-H81 not only provides all the features of a PC, but also
combines with resistive/projected capacitive touchscreen for mouse and keyboard free
data input.
With the latest Intel® H81 platform, the PPC-FxxA-H81 offers various CPU choices and
equips with SATA 6Gb/s interface, supporting both SATA HDD and SSD. In addition, the
PPC-FxxA-H81 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-FxxA-H81 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
HDMI connectors. Furthermore, the PPC-FxxA-H81 has two full-size/half-size PCIe Mini
card slots, allowing installation of a wide variety of PCIe Mini card solutions, such as a
Wi-Fi module and mSATA module.

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-FxxA-H81. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the PPC-FxxA-H81 is accessed internally, or any other
electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered
to.
PPC-FxxA-H81 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-FxxA-H81, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
PPC-FxxA-H81.
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 20
Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify
onboard functionalities.
Page 34
PPC-FxxA-H81 Panel PC
Mounting: The PPC-FxxA-H81 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 and anti-static wristband.

damage to the panel and avoid personal injury.
Page 34
Page 48
PPC-FxxA-H81 Panel PC
The methods of mounting the PPC-FxxA-H81 are:
Wall mounting
Panel mounting
Arm mounting
Stand mounting
Rack mounting
The mounting methods are described in the following sections.

3.10.1 Wall Mounting

To mount the PPC-FxxA-H81 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 3-19).
Figure 3-19: Wall-mounting Bracket
Page 35
Page 49
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
PPC-FxxA-H81 Panel PC
shank is secured against the rear panel (
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 (
Ensure that all four of the mounting screws fit snuggly into their respective
slotted holes.
