making it an ideal solution for applications that require low power
consumption, fanless and noise-free operation, and multiple IO ports.

It accepts a wide range of DC power input voltages (from DC 7V – 30V).
The VIPRO VP7710 Panel PC is equipped with one DDR2 533 MHz
SODIMM socket that supports up to 1 GB of memory, three COM ports
(one RS-422/485 and two RS-232 with a 5V/12V selector), one Gigabit
LAN, and two USB 2.0 ports.

The VIPRO VP7710 has an external VGA port that enables dual
independent displays and high definition audio ports that makes it good
for multimedia applications. Storage can be integrated into its internal
Compact Flash socket and 2.5" internal HDD drive bay. It also includes a
variety of mounting options that make it a flexible system to install.

These features make the VIPRO VP7710 Fanless Panel PC suitable for a
wide variety of embedded, multimedia, and industrial HMI (Human
Machine Interface) applications including factory automation systems,
precision machinery, production process control, terminal information
systems, entertainment management systems, and car park automation
systems…etc. The VIPRO VP7710 is a reliable, cost-effective solution that
can shorten your application development time.

Unit: mm

Panel Mounting Kit

Panel mounting should be used in situations where only the front and
bezel of the VIPRO VP7710 will be visible. In order to complete a panel
mount, the wall must have a designated space (cutout) for embedding
the VIPRO VP7710.

A recommended cutout dimension is shown below.

Note:

The cutout shown above is for embedding the VIPRO VP7710
directly into the wall without an additional chassis. If using a chassis
to mount the VIPRO VP7710, ensure the cutout is sufficient for the
chassis.

23

VIPRO VP7710 User’s Manual

Once the cutout has been prepared, slide the VIPRO VP7710 backwards
into the panel opening. From the other side of the panel, align the panel
mounting bracket on the rear of VIPRO VP7710 and attach the eight
screws through the mounting bracket into the backplate.

24

VIPRO VP7710 User’s Manual

Then, secure the VIPRO VP7710 to the panel with four screws.

25

VIPRO VP7710 User’s Manual

Wall Mounting Kit (optional)

Wall mounting should be used when the VIPRO VP7710 cannot be
embedded into the wall. When wall mounting, the entire system will be
exposed. For details on the assembly of the wall mounting kit, refer to

Power Management Setup

Note:

ACPI is a power management specification that makes hardware
status information available to the operating system. ACPI enables a
PC to turn its peripherals on and off for improved power
management. It also allows the PC to be turned on and off by
external devices, so that mouse or keyboard activity wakes up the
computer.

ACPI Suspend Type

Setting Description

S1(POS) S1/Power On Suspend (POS) is a low power state. In

this state, no system context (CPU or chipset) is lost

and hardware maintains all system contexts.
S3(STR) S3/Suspend To RAM (STR) is a power-down state. In

this state, power is supplied only to essential

components such as main memory and wakeup-

capable devices. The system context is saved to main

memory, and context is restored from the memory

when a "wakeup" event occurs.
S1 & S3 Depends on the OS to select S1 or S3.

Set Supervisor / User Password

This option is for setting a password for entering BIOS Setup. When a
password has been set, a password prompt will be displayed whenever
BIOS Setup is run. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing
any part of your system configuration.

There are two types of passwords you can set. A supervisor password
and a user password. When a supervisor password is used, the BIOS
Setup program can be accessed and the BIOS settings can be changed.
When a user password is used, the BIOS Setup program can be accessed
but the BIOS settings cannot be changed.

To set the password, type the password (up to eight characters in length)
and press <Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously set
password from CMOS memory. The new password will need to be
reentered to be confirmed. To cancel the process press <Esc>.

To disable the password, press <Enter> when prompted to enter a new
password. A message will show up to confirm disabling the password.
To cancel the process press <Esc>.

Additionally, when a password is enabled, the BIOS can be set to
request the password each time the system is booted. This would
prevent unauthorized use of the system. See “Security Option” in the
“Advanced BIOS Features” section for more details.
