4 INSTALLATION INSTALLING THE INDUSTRIAL PANEL COMPUTER — OVERVIEW Installing the PANEL COMPUTER requires the following three major steps: Mount the Panel Computer Make Connections Setup MAN-PNLPC-001 The Panel Computer is a front-panel stud mount unit. Mounting of the unit requires a panel cutout, and drilling fourteen (14) holes in the mounting surface for the mounting studs. Please see the Mounting section beginning on page 10 for mounting diagrams and instructions.
4 INSTALLATION Mounting The Panel Computer is a panel-mount unit. The following diagrams show the outline and cutout dimensions necessary to mount the panel using the studs. 10.4" and 12.

5 EXTERNAL COMPONENTS CONNECTORS Side Panel Located on one side of the Industrial Panel Computers are the following connectors: Two USB (Universal Serial Bus) Connectors There are two USB connectors located on the side of the unit. Many devices now use this type of connector (i.e., scanner, printer, mouse, etc.). You can also use the USB to connect to an external Floppy Disk Drive or external CD ROM Drive. One or both ports may be used.
5 EXTERNAL COMPONENTS One KEYBOARD Connector A personal system/2 (PS/2)–style keyboard port. One MOUSE Connector A personal system/2 (PS/2)–compatible mouse port. 10/100 ETHERNET 10/100–megabit-per-second (Mbps) network interface controller (NIC) provides all the functions of a separate network card with Wakeup on LAN technology. The NIC supports both the 10 BASE-T and 100 BASE-TX Ethernet standards. LPT1 Parallel Port (LPT1) is a 25-pin male D-Sub connector that is used to connect to a printer.
5 EXTERNAL COMPONENTS PCMCIA Slot (optional) PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) are small form factor devices that are used in a variety of applications and devices, particularly in digital cameras, lap top computers, PDAs, and many other mobile devices. You can order a Panel Computer with one installed or install your own. 2 PCI Slots The Panel Computer will support the addition of two 32-bit PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Cards if you want to upgrade your system.
5 EXTERNAL COMPONENTS On the other side of the Panel Computer you will find the Power Connector and a Power Voltage Switch. Use the power voltage switch to select 115 or 230 V AC. Also shown is the location of the optional fan.
5 EXTERNAL COMPONENTS Rear Panel Push Buttons Located on the bottom rear panel, you will find a recessed POWER ON push button and a recessed RESET push button. There is also a recessed DIMMER potentiometer to adjust the display brightness on the 10.4” and 15” models (not available on the 12.1” model). Use a small flat blade screwdriver to adjust the DIMMER pot and to access the POWER ON and RESET push buttons. LEDs There are also 5 LEDs located on the bottom rear panel.
6 COMMUNICATIONS SETUP BIOS Setup Once you have the Panel Computer installed and the peripheral devices connected, you are ready to power up the computer. Press the POWER ON push button located on the rear panel of the computer (as described on page 18). Consult the PCA1675 Embedded Processor Board Manual, part number MANP1675-001 to set up your Industrial Panel Computer’s BIOS. COM2 Serial Port Setup The default setting is RS-232. For RS-422 or RS-485 communications, install jumpers as shown on page 15.
7 MAINTENANCE AND UPGRADES UPGRADES CAUTION: Before opening the Computer or handling any expansion cards, be sure to protect the equipment from electrostatic discharge (ESD) by properly grounding yourself. Expansion Card Installation The Panel Computers can accommodate up to 2 PCI expansion cards. To install an expansion card: 1. Disconnect the power source from the Panel Computer. 2. To open the rear of the enclosure, remove 9 screws from back captive panel.
7 MAINTENANCE AND UPGRADES 4. Remove the “card retaining bracket” from center posts by removing screw from back post holding card retainer. Lift up retainer and slide out of the slot in the front post. BACK Center Post FRONT Center Post SIDE VIEW CARD RETAINING BRACKET SHOWN INSTALLED End of bracket inserted through slot in Front Center Post Screw securing bracket to Back Center Post (screw is on other side of post) Front 5.
7 MAINTENANCE AND UPGRADES 6. Reinstall card retainer bracket. Slide bracket into the slot in the front post and secure with a screw in the back post. 7. Adjust card retainer foot until it is securely against the top of the card that you have just installed. Tighten the screw to ensure that the card will remain properly seated in the backplane connector. 8. Replace the rear panel and reconnect the power source.
7 MAINTENANCE AND UPGRADES Maintenance Preserving Data Viruses can corrupt files; files can be inadvertently deleted; and hard-disk drives can fail after extended used. To avoid data loss, regularly back up the data files on the hard-disk drive. If you lose the contents of your hard-disk drive, you can reinstall programs, but your data files will be lost if you don’t have a backup. We recommend you back up the hard-disk drive at least once a week, with a daily backup of those files that have been changed.
7 MAINTENANCE AND UPGRADES Touchscreen/Chemical Compatibility The touchscreen has a polyester surface. The following list is provided to make you aware of the general compatibility between chemicals that may be present in your work environment and the polyester surface of the touchscreen. Use the chart to determine those chemicals that are safe to use around your Panel Computer and those that may harm the touchscreen. The list rates these chemicals as E—Excellent, G—Good, F—Fair, and N—Not Recommended.
