3.Pull the metal plate toward the outside of the unit, and remove it from the two lugs of the shielding case.

4.Place the HDD on the metal plate, and tighten the four screws from the bottom of the metal plate.

5.The HDD cable (1 x 44-pin to 1 x 44-pin) is next to the metal plate. Connect the HDD cable to the HDD. The another end of the HDD cable is connected to the PC board (CN16). Make sure that the red/ blue wire corresponds to Pin 1 on the connector, which is labeled on the board. Plug the other end of the cable into the IDE hard drive, with Pin 1 on the cable corresponding to Pin 1 on the hard drive.

4.4Installing the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The panel PC's central processing unit (CPU) can be upgraded to improve system performance. The panel PC provides one 478-pin ZIF (Zero Inser- tion Force) socket (Socket 478). The CPU must come with an attached heat sink and CPU fan to prevent overheating.

Warning! The CPU may be damaged if operated without a heat sink and if the fan is not connected to the CPU fan power connector.

Caution!

Always disconnect the power cord from your

 

panel PC when you are working on it. Do not

 

make connections while the power is on as sen-

 

sitive electronic components can be damaged by

 

the sudden rush of power. Only experienced

 

electronics personnel should open the panel PC.
