FCC Class B

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer­ence when the equipment is operated in a residential environment. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not
installed and used in accordance with this user's manual, it may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Note that even when this
equipment is installed and used in accordance with this user's manual,
there is still no guarantee that interference will not occur. If this equip­ment is believed to be causing harmful interference to radio or television
reception, this can be determined by turning the equipment on and off. If
interference is occurring, the user is encouraged to try to correct the inter­ference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver

• Connect the equipment to a power outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

Warning! Any changes or modifications made to the

equipment which are not expressly approved by
the relevant standards authority could void your
authority to operate the equipment.

Packing List

Before you begin installing your card, please make sure that the following
materials have been shipped:

• PPC-154 series panel PC

• User's manual

• Accessories for PPC-154

- Power cord (1.8 m) - USA type (other types are available on request)

- Floppy disk with CD-ROM drive driver

- "Drivers and Utilities" CD-ROM disc

- Heat sink (optional) (refer to Notes 1 and 2 below)

If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact your distributor or
sales representative immediately.

Note1: If the unit you have bought is basic (i.e. without

a CPU, HDD, or SDRAM), you will find this
optional item in the accessory box.

Note2:

If you install an Intel
must install a heat sink above the CPU. This will
avoid heat damage to the CPU.

Chapter 2 System Setup

2.1 A Quick Tour of the Panel PC

Before you start to set up the panel PC, take a moment to become familiar
with the locations and purposes of the controls, drives, connectors and
ports, which are illustrated in the figures below.

When you place the panel PC upright on the desktop, its front panel
appears as shown in Figure 2-1.

Figure 2.1: Front view of PPC-154 panel PC

Figure 2.2: Left side view of the panel PC

When you turn the panel PC around and look at its rear cover, you will
find the PCI/ISA expansion slot located on the left side. This slot is cov­ered by a side panel cover. The sunken I/O section is at the bottom of the
panel PC, as shown in Fig. 2-3. (The I/O section includes various I/O
ports, including serial ports, parallel port, the Ethernet port, USB ports,
the microphone jack, and so on.)
