Topics covered include: the floppy drive, CD-ROM drive, I/O ports and the touchscreen. 3.2 CD-ROM Drive (optional ) It is possible to use the USB external optical device, or order the PPC-175T, which is equipped with slim optical devices. To insert a CD-ROM disc, press the eject button on the CD-ROM drive.
Memory Flash Cards are inserted and ejected in much the same way as diskettes. To insert a Flash Memory card, align the card with the socket and slide the card into the socket until it locks into place. Take note that some FlashMemory cards must be properly configured thorugh the operating system before they can be used for data storage. (See the Flash Memory card manual for details.) To eject a Flash Memory card, first ensure that the panel PC is not accessing the memory card or device.
3.5 PCI Bus Expansion The panel PC supports PCI bus expansion cards. To integrate a new PCIbus card into the system, follow these instructions: 1. Turn off the panel PC. 2. Unscrew the eight screws on the top of the rear cover, and remove it. 3. Remove the metal plate by unscrewing the single attaching screw. 4. Insert the PCI bus card into the PCI slot of the riser card. (See Fig. 3-3) 5. Run the setup program within the OS to configure the system. Figure 3.
