General Information
The Intermec 5055 Data Collection PC is a powerful realtime computer designed for warehouse and automated material handling environments. Although the computer is
intended for data collection, it contains a modern highspeed Pentiumtprocessor and has full PC capabilities. Depending upon your requirements, this computer may be
equipped with an integrated radio for total mobility. The
standard Ethernet on board allows hardwire connection to
a local area network (LAN).
All computer electronics, the radio module, and the large
display are housed within a single metal container. A dc-dc
power converter can be remotely mounted on a vehicle to
ensure a stable power source in mobile applications. Fixedmount computers (i.e., those connected to a local area network) have a separate ac-dc power supply.
Installation
The Intermec 5055 Data Collection PC installs easily on
vertical or horizontal surfaces using one of several adjustable mounting brackets.

SECTION 1 " General Information
Mobile Computer: How it Works
Wireless data collection PCs are “real-time” devices because
the computer tracks inventory movement on the go. When
you enter data into the unit, the integrated radio module
transmits that information to a base unit or access point.
From there, information goes to a host computer. If the
entry was a request for information, the host transmits the
response to the computer that made the request. These
real-time data transactions ensure that the most current
information is available to the host computer and to all mobile units. Figure 1-1 shows a basic LAN system to aid your
understanding of the local area network concept.

Introduction
This section tells you how to prepare the computer for firsttime operation and includes instructions for attaching or
installing certain options or peripheral equipment. Once
the computer has successfully booted to the operating system you may need to load an application program or data.
Startup Requirements
Before powering up the computer for the first time, be sure
it is securely mounted, that all cable connections are secure,
and that the DC power input cable is firmly attached.
The computer begins its startup (“boot”) sequence when
power is supplied to the DC power input connector and the
On/Off switch is ON (press the 1 side of the switch). In the
case of an AC-powered (fixed-mount) computer, the power
supply must be connected to the computer and plugged into
a wall outlet. Vehicle mounts require that the dc-dc power
converter be properly connected to the vehicle batteries and
to the computer.
5055 Data Collection PC User’s Guide 2-1
Page 22
SECTION 2 " Operation
Startup Sequence
Your computer should start up after all connections have
been made to the unit, power has been applied, and the On/
Off switch has been moved to the ON position (press the 1
side of the switch). During startup, the computer (1) performs a power-on self-test, (2) runs the hardware initialization program, and (3) boots the operating system.
Once the computer starts up (“boots”) successfully, you may
load additional application software if this has not already
been done for you. If you install a radio or other optional
device, you may have to install driver software or make new
system setups for the device(s) to work properly.
Options
This computer can accomodate a 2.5 inch hard drive (or a
SanDisk drive) plus two PC cards. The instructions and
illustrations that follow will help you perform these installations if they have not already been done.
Hard Drive Installation
An adapter is required to install a spinning media hard
drive. Refer to the accompanying illustrations and the following instructions to attach the adapter to your drive.
1. Install the jumper exactly as shown.
2. Place the drive in the adapter as shown.
3. Align the connector-end of the drive and the adapter.
4. Use four screws to secure the drive.
5. Slide this assembly gently into the computer (Figure

Patch Antenna
The 2.4 GHz “patch” antenna can be mounted on a wall using either screws or small patches of adhesive-backed hookand-loop fastener material. Since system performance and
antenna polarization is site-dependent, a permanent
mounting location and orientation may require some experimentation. In most fixed installations the antenna should
initially be mounted in a vertically polarized position: e.g.,
with the cable from the antenna parallel to the floor/ceiling.
In mobile installations, best performance will be achieved
by mounting the antenna flat, on top of the operator safety
cage. Use at least two screws to hold the antenna in place.

Restart (or, “Reboot”)
"
NOTE: Make sure that a keyboard is attached to the computer BEFORE at-
tempting to perform a warm restart.
If the system locks up during normal operations, you can
reset it by performing either a “warm” or a “cold” restart.
Use the warm restart when you need to clear the system’s
memory to run another program but do not want the computer to perform a self-test. When a warm restart does not
restore operation, perform a cold restart.
Warm Restart
If your operating system is Windows 95 or Windows 98, you
can exit the current application, and then perform a warm
restart in the following manner:
1. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del on the keyboard or displayed keyboard simulator (this causes the system to reprocess
the autoexec.bat and config.sys files).
2. Load, or reload, the desired software application.
3. Resume normal operation.
Cold Restart
You must interrupt all electrical power to the computer to
perform a cold restart. Perform a proper system shutdown,
then momentarily press the On/Off switch on the bottom of
the computer. If the On/Off switch is inaccessible, do one of
the following:
" For fixed-mount units, unplug the AC power supply
from the wall outlet for a few seconds. Be sure to plug
it back in.
" For vehicle-mount units, interrupt power to the DC--
DC power converter for a few seconds.
