Installation
3.1 Overview of Hardware Installation and Upgrading
The Vehicle Mounted Computer consists of a PC-based computer that is
housed in a ruggedized aluminum enclosure. Any maintenance or hard-
ware upgrades can be completed after removing both panels.
3.2 Installing the Storage Device
The Vehicle Mounted Computer can apply either a 2.5" Hard Disk Drive
(HDD), or a Compact Flash Card (CFC) as storage devices, depending on
system requirements. Below, installation instructions for both kinds of
devices are shown.
3.2.1 Installing the 2.5" hard disk drive (HDD)
It is possible to attach one enhanced Integrated Device Electronics (IDE)
hard disk drive to the computer's internal controller, which uses a PCI
local-bus interface. The advanced IDE controller supports faster data
transfers and allows the IDE hard drive to exceed 528 MB.
Follow the instructions below for installation:
Warning! Do not remove the ruggedized aluminum covers
until verifying that no power is flowing within the
computer. Power must be switched off and the
power cord must be unplugged. Every time the
Vehicle Mounted Computer is serviced, take
care to be aware of these facts.
