2.2Preparing for First-time Use

Before commencing set up of the panel PC system, the following items should be available:

!Keyboard

!Mouse (for system software installation)

2.3Installation Procedures

2.3.1Connecting the power cord

The panel PC can only be powered through an AC electrical outlet (100 ~ 250 volts, 50 ~ 60 Hz). Be sure to handle the power cords by holding the plug ends only.

Follow these procedures in order:

1.Connect the female end of the power cord to the AC inlet of the panel PC.

2.Connect the 3-pin male plug of the power cord to an electrical outlet.

2.3.2Connecting the keyboard and mouse

Connect the PS/2 mouse and keyboard to the I/O section of PPC.

If using a serial mouse and the panel PC has a touchscreen, it is possible to connect the mouse to any COM port except COM4.

2.3.3Switching on the power

Switch on the power switch, which is located inside the bottom side cover.

2.4Running the BIOS Setup Program

The panel PC will be properly set up and configured by the dealer prior to delivery. However, it may be necessary to use the panel PC's BIOS (Basic Input-Output Sys- tem) setup program to change the system configuration information, such as the cur- rent date and time, or the type of hard drive. The setup program is stored in read-only memory (ROM). It can be accessed either when you turn on or reset the panel PC, by pressing the “Del” key on your keyboard immediately after powering on the computer.

The settings specified with the setup program are recorded in a special area of mem- ory called “CMOS RAM.” This memory is backed up by a battery so that it will not be erased after turning off or resetting the system. Whenever the power is turned on, the system reads the settings stored in CMOS RAM and compares them to the equip- ment check conducted during the power on self-test (POST). If a problem occurs, an error message will be displayed on screen, and the computer prompts the user to run the setup program.
