Warnings

Read and adhere to all warnings, cautions, and notices in this guide and the documentation supplied with the chassis, power supply, and accessory modules. If the instructions for the chassis and power supply are inconsistent with these instructions or the instructions for accessory modules, contact the supplier to find out how you can ensure that your computer meets safety and regulatory requirements.

Cautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage system components. Do the described procedures only at an ESD workstation. If no such station is available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis.

Safety Information

Before installing and using the device, note the following precautions:

▪ Read all instructions carefully. ▪ Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand. ▪ Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual.

▪ When replacing parts, ensure that your service technician uses parts spec-

ified by the manufacturer.

▪ Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating

device.

▪ The load of the system unit does not solely rely for support from the

rackmounts located on the sides. Firm support from the bottom is highly necessary in order to provide balance stability.

The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock circuit. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Installation Recommendations

Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small components separated.

Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the following:

• A Philips screwdriver

• A flat-tipped screwdriver

• A grounding strap

• An anti-static pad

Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recommended that you do not use needlenose pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

ChaPter 2: JumPers and ConneCtors

This chapter describes how to set the jumpers on the motherboard. Note that the following procedures are generic for VMC 3020.

Before You Begin

• Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can

get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small components separated.

• Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally

damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the following:

• A Philips screwdriver

• A flat-tipped screwdriver

• A set of jewelers Screwdrivers

• A grounding strap

• An anti-static pad

• Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recom-

mended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

• Before working on internal components, make sure that the power is off.

Ground yourself before touching any internal components, by touching a metal object. Static electricity can damage many of the electronic com-

ponents. Humid environment tend to have less static electricity than dry environments. A grounding strap is warranted whenever danger of static electricity exists.

Precautions

Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of static electricity. Working on the computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous.

Follow the guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or yourself:

• Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet whenever you are

working inside the case.

• If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside the

computer case. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body of any other grounded appliance.

• Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the com-

ponents on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Don’t flex or stress the circuit board.

• Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they shipped

with until they are ready for installation.

• Use correct screws and do not over tighten screws.

Chapter 2: Jumpers and Connectors

Jumper

A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a cap. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are placed on the correct pins. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins, the jumper is short. If you remove the jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just one pin, the jumper is open.

Refer to the illustrations below for examples of what the 2-pin and 3-pin jumpers look like when they are short (on) and open (off).

Two-Pin Jumpers: Open (Left) and Short (Right)

Three-Pin Jumpers: Pins 1 and 2 Are Short

Standard Calibration

Standard Calibration function lets you match the touchscreen to your display so that the point you touch is accurately tracked on screen. Standard Calibration only requires four points for calibration and one point for

confirmation. Under normal circumstance Standard Calibration is all you need to perform an accurate calibration.

Advanced Calibration

Advanced Calibration function improves the accuracy of calibration by

using more involved engineering calculations. Use this function only if you have tried the Standard Calibration and there is still a discrepancy in the way the touchscreen maps to the display. You can choose 9, 16 or 25 points to calibrate, though we suggest that you first try 9 points, if it is still not tracking well then try 16 or 25 points. The more points you use for calibration, the greater the accuracy. Errors in calibration may occur due to viewing angle, or individual skill, and there may be little difference in using 16 or 25 points. Note that a stylus is recommended for the most accurate results.

Rotation

There are currently a number of software packages on the market that support rotating monitors 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°. However you will not be able to use a touchscreen unless it is matched to the appropriate rotation. Our rotation configuration function allows you to easily match the touchscreen when you rotate your monitor.

If you use a rotating monitor you will need a display card such as from nVidia, Intel, SMI or ATI and software such as Portrait Pivot Pro. For software operation and features, please refer to your software manual.

Configuring the rotation function is easy. Select this option and a ‘point’ appears for you to touch. Once the point is touched the software driver understands which degree you plan to rotate your display. The rotation function supports 90, 180 and 270 degrees rotation.

Draw
