3.1Introduction

The panel PC consists of a PC-based computer that is housed in a plastic rear panel and a metal shielding case. You can install a HDD, DRAM, and battery pack by removing the rear panel and shielding case. Any maintenance or hardware upgrades can be easily completed after remov- ing the rear panel and shielding case.

If you are a systems integrator and need to know how to completely dis- assemble the panel PC, you can find more useful information in Appendix C.

Warning! Do not remove the plastic rear cover until you have verified that no power is flowing within the panel PC. Power must be switched off and the power cord must be unplugged. Every time you service the panel PC, you should be aware of this.

3.2Installing the 2.5" Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

You can attach one Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) hard disk drive to the panel PC's internal controller. The SATA controller supports faster data transfer and allows the SATA hard drive to exceed 150 MB. The following are instructions for installation:

1.Detach and remove the plastic rear cover.

2.There is a metal brace which holds the HDD to the upper left-hand side of the metal shielding case. (See Fig. 3.1.)

3.Place the HDD in the metal brace, and tighten the screws.

4.The HDD cable (SATA 7P+1*5P-2.5/SATA(15+7)P) is next to the metal brace. Connect the HDD cable to the PC board (CN5&CN6). Plug the other end of the cable into the SATA hard drive.

5.Put the plastic rear cover on and tighten the screws.
