INSTALLATION GUIDE
Before Y ou Begin
Installing and setting up your Clean Screen II PC is very straightforward. But before you get
started, there are some things you should know.
What’s in the box?
Each box will contain a Planar Clean Screen II head (that is, the integrated computer and LCD
display), three Torx drivers (sizes: T15, T20, T25), the external power supply, and the power
cord. Remove the equipment carefully and inspect for damage. Immediately notify the shipping
company if damage has occurred. Set aside the packing material for possible future use.
What’s in the
This manual and several 3.5" diskettes with all the display dri v ers necessary to install your Clean
Screen II PC to various Microsoft operating systems. (If you ordered your Clean Screen II PC
with a preloaded OS, then the drivers will already be installed on the hard disk.) The IS
Manager’s Kit is sold separately from the Clean Screen II PC. If you need to purchase additional
kits, please call (503) 614-4100. Together, the Clean Screen II shipping box and the IS
Manager’s Kit contain everything you need for installation and setup.

What’s in this manual?
This manual is an advanced guide for installation and setup. It is intended for Information
Services Department professionals. We are not going to tell you things you already know about
PCs. We will cover what is unique about a Planar Clean Screen II and what you need to know to
successfully install and set them up. We encourage you to look through the entire manual before
you begin. Even if you don’t need all the information right now, it is good to know where it is
for later reference.
What if I’m missing something?
If something is missing from the box, please contact us at (503) 614-4100 or (800) 893-8885.
There are, however, several other items you may need. In this manual we will assume you
already have the IS Manager’s Kit, standard Planar mounting equipment for the Clean Screen II,
and a Planar 3.5" external floppy drive (for loading any necessary drivers). If you are missing
any of these, please check with your department. If necessary, you can contact us for more information or to order these parts.

Chapter One: The Installation Express
If you are an experienced technician who has installed Clean Screen II PCs, then check out
Chapter One:The Installation Express. It covers the major steps. If you are the least bit unsure
of any step, please resume reading the rest of the manual.
1. Review the Before Y ou Begin section of the manual — especially its Safety Instructions.
2. Unpack the Clean Screen II PC and save the packing.
3. If you need to add memory or a hard drive, read Chapter Three: Hardware Installation and
Replacement for details.
4. Connect the keyboard, network, mouse, and any other peripherals. If you need help, refer to
Chapter Four: System Setup.
5. Before connecting the power, make sure the power switch is in the off (O) position. Connect
the power.
To prevent damage to the Clean Screen II, ensure correct orientation of the
power connector before plugging it into the unit. Always secure the connector
in place before turning on the Clean Screen II.
6. Turn on the unit.
7. Press <F2> immediately when prompted to enter the CMOS Setup. The screens are self-
explanatory. If a floppy disk is required for setup, you will need to enable drive “A.”
8. If your system was purchased without an operating system, you will need to use a boot disk
to create disk partitions and format the HDD before installing your operating system.
9. Load any drivers necessary for your system from the IS Manager’s Kit. Follow the
Readme.doc and other information on the disks.
10. Load your application software.
11. You may want to read the rest of the manual. There are many helpful details about your new
Clean Screen II PC, especially in the REFERENCE GUIDE section.
While the LCD display has a 25,000-hour back light life, the use of power
management to turn off the display when not in use is highly recommended.
