WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
PC400C series may result in permanent damage to the PC400C series
and severe injury to the user.
3.1 Anti-static Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the PC400C Series Panel PC. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It
is therefore critical that whenever the PC400C Series Panel PC 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 ground.
Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the PC400C Series Panel PC,
place it on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging
the PC400C Series Panel PC.
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 21 1010-1023, Rev 00
Mounting: The PC400C Series Panel PC 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 opens 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.
The following installation steps must be followed:
Step 1: Unpack the PC400C Series Panel PC.
Step 2: Set the jumper settings.
Step 3: Mount the PC400C Series Panel PC .
Step 4: Connect peripheral devices to the bottom panel of the PC400C Series Panel
PC.
Step 5: Configure the system.Step 0:
1010-1023, Rev 00 Page 22
NOTE:
A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an
electrical circuit. It consists of two or three metal
pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a
plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect
them. To CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means
connecting the pins of the jumper with the plastic
clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the
plastic clip from a jumper.

WARNING!
When mounting the PC400C Series 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.
3.10 Mounting the System
The methods of mounting the PC400C Series Panel PC 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 PC400C Series 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 3-10).
1010-1023, Rev 00 Page 32
Figure 3-10: Wall-mounting Bracket
NOTE:
In the diagram below the bracket is already installed on the wall.
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 3-11).
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 3-11).
Ensure that all four of the mounting screws fit snug into their respective slotted
holes.
Page 33 1010-1023, Rev 00
Figure 3-11: Mount the Chassis
Step 9:Secure the panel PC with the wall-mounting kit. To do this, stick the protective
cushion on the wall-mounting kit first. Then, put the wall-mounting kit on the top
panel of the panel PC. Carefully mark the location of the wall-mounting kit screw
holes on the wall. Drill a pilot hole at the marked location on the wall. Secure the
wall-mounting kit to the wall by inserting a retention screw into the pilot hole on
the wall (564HFigure 3-12). This step avoids pushing apart the panel PC from the
wall-mounting bracket accidentally. Step 9:
1010-1023, Rev 00 Page 34
Figure 3-12: Secure the Chassis
NOTE:
The maximum panel thickness should be no more than 6 mm.
3.10.2 Panel Mounting
To mount the PC400C Series Panel PC into a panel, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Select the position on the panel to mount the PC400C Series Panel PC.

Page 37 1010-1023, Rev 00
NOTE:
When purchasing the arm please ensure that it is VESA compliant and
that the arm has a 100 mm interface pad. If the mounting arm is not
VESA compliant, it cannot be used to support the PC400C Series
Panel PC.
3.10.3 Rack and Cabinet Installation
To mount the PC400C Series Panel PC into a rack/cabinet, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Secure the rack mounting bracket to two sides of the monitor using the supplied
retention screws. Each bracket requires four screws.
Step 2: Secure the rack mounting bracket to the rack by inserting and tightening the
supplied mounting nuts and bolts. Each bracket requires three nuts and bolts for
installation.Step 0:
3.10.4 Arm Mounting
The PC400C Series Panel PC is VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association)
compliant and can be mounted on an arm with a 100 mm interface pad. To mount the
PC400C Series Panel PC on an arm, please follow the steps below:
Step 1: The arm is a separately purchased item. Please correctly mount the arm onto
the surface it uses as a base. To do this, refer to the installation documentation
that came with the mounting arm.
Step 2: Once the mounting arm has been firmly attached to its surface, lift the PC400C
Series 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
PC400C Series Panel PC.
