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 location and purpose of the controls, driver, connectors and ports, which are illustrated in the figures as below. When you place the Panel PC upright on the desktop, its front panel appears as shown in the Figure 2-1. When you turn the panel PC around and look at its rear cover, you will find the I/O section as shown in Fig.2-2.
2.2 Installation Procedures 2.2.1 Connecting the power Cord The Panel PC can only be powered by a DC electrical outlet 12~24 voltage, Max 3.5A). Be sure to always handle the power cord by holding the plug ends only. Please connect the male plug of the power cord to the DC inlet of the Panel PC. 2.2.2 Connecting the keyboard or mouse. Connect the PS/2 mouse and keyboard port on the I/O section of the Panel PC. 2.2.3 Switch on the power Switch on the power switch on the rear cover. 2.
The settings you specify with the setup program are recorded in s special area of memory called CMOS RAM. This memory is backed up by a battery so that it will not be erased when you turn off or reset the system. Whenever you turn on the power, the system reads the setting stored in CMOS RAM and compares them to the equipment check conducted during the power on self-test (POST).If an error occurs, an error message will be displayed on screen, and you will be prompted to run the setup program. 2.
2.5 Installing the Drivers After installing your system software, you will be able to set up the Ethernet, VGA, audio, and touch screen functions. All drivers are stored in a CD-ROM disc entitled “Divers and Utilities” which can be found in your assembly box. The various drivers and utilities in the CD-ROM disc have their own test files which help users install drivers and understand their functions. These files are a very useful supplement to the information in this manual.
Chapter 3 Jumper Setting and Connectors. 3.1 Jumpers The motherboard of the PPC-L60T has a number of jumpers that allow you to configure your system to suit your application. The table below lists the functions of the various jumpers. Table 3.1: Jumpers Label S1 S2 S3 JP1 Function Panel type select CMOS clear button System reset button COM2 RS232/422/485 & WDT setting 3.2 Connectors On-board connectors link the PPC-L60T to external devices such as hard disk drives, a keyboard, or floppy drives.

3.5 Setting Jumpers You may configure your panel PC to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electric cir- cuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3.
3.6 Clear CMOS (S2) Warning! To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off the power supply before setting “Clear CMOS.” Before turning on the power supply, set the jumper back to “3.0 V Battery On.” This jumper is used to erase CMOS data and reset system BIOS informa- tion. The procedure for clearing CMOS is: 1. Turn off the system. 2. Short pin 2 and pin 3. 3. Return jumper to pins 1 and 2. 4. Turn on the system. The BIOS is now reset to its default setting Table 4.
3.7 COM port connector (CN20,CN12) The motherboard of PPC-L60T provides two serial ports (COM1: RS-232; COM2: RS232/422/485) in one DB-9 connector (COM1) and one 14-pin dual-inline, male header. It provides connections for serial devices (a mouse, etc.) or a communication network. You can find the pin assignments for the COM port connector in Appendix C. 4.6.1COM2 RS-232/422/485 setting (pin 1-6 of JP1) COM2 can be configured to operate in RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 mode. This is done via JP1 Table 2.
3.9 Watchdog timer configuration An on-board watchdog timer reduces the chance of disruptions which EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) interference can cause. This is an invalu- able protective device for standalone or unmanned applications. Setup involves one jumper and running the control software (refer to Appendix A). 2.21.1 Watchdog timer action (pin 7-10 of JP1) When the watchdog timer activates (CPU processing has come to a halt), it can reset the system or generate an interrupt on IRQ11.
Chapter 4 Hardware Installation and Upgrading 4.1 Introduction The panel PC consists a PC-based computer that is housed in a metal rear cover and. You can install HDD, SDRAM and CF card by removing the rear panel. Any maintenance or hardware upgrades can be easily completed after removing the rear panel and HDD bracket. Warning! Don’t remove the metal rear cover until you have verified that no power is following within the panel PC. Power must be switched off and the powercord must be unplugged.
