CHAPTER 3 Hardware and Peripheral Installation • Overview of Hardware Installation and Upgrading • Installing the 2.
3.1 Overview of Hardware Installation and Upgrading The panel PC consists of a PC-based computer that is housed in a plastic front and rear panel. Any maintenance or hardware upgrades can be easily completed after removing both panels. Meanwhile your HDD, SDRAM, CPU are all readily accessible by removing the CPU heatsink and HDD carrier. If you are a systems integrator and need to know how to completely disassemble the panel PC, you can find more useful information in Appendix B.
4. Slide the HDD carrier with HDD back to original position, then fix it as shown in Figure 3-2.
3.3 Installing the Central Processing Unit (CPU) and SDRAM Memory Module The panel PC's central processing unit (CPU) can be upgaded to improve system performnace. The panel PC provides one 370-pin socket (Socket 370). The CPU must come with an attached heat sink and CPU fan to prevent overheating. The panel PC also privides two 144-pin SODIMM sockets which can accept two SDRAM memory modules up to 512 MB. Warning! The CPU may be damaged if operated without a heat sink and a fan.
2. Insert the CPU in the correct orientation and gently slide the CPU in. It should insert easily. Make sure the pin of the CPU corresponds with the hole of socket. Do not use excessive force. 3 Place the metal CPU push cover on the top of the CPU as shown in Figure 3-4. Figure 3-4: Place CPU push cover over CPU 4. Insert a flat-headed screwdriver into the side hole of the CPU at an upward perpendicular angle to the CPU, as shown in Figure 3-5.
Figure 3-5: Insert screw driver into the hole 5. Gently lever at the CPU push cover by pushing the top end of the screwdriver away from the CPU (Figure 3-6, 3-7). After the CPU has been secured in the right position, remove the screw driver and the CPU push cover.

Figure 3-8: Fan cooling with heatsink assembly installation 6. If the CPU to be installed is Type PPGA, please remove the copper block by unscrewing two screws before attaching the thermal pad on the heat sink. Prior to doing that, it would be helpful if you apply an even layer of the silicone heat sink paste on the top of the CPU.
7. Next, install an SDRAM module. Slip the memory module into the socket at a 45 degree angle as shown in Figure 3-9. Figure 3-9: Installing the memory module 8. Push the module toward the horiontal ports at both ends of the socket until the module is upright and the retaining clips at both ends of the module click into place. When positioned correctly, the pins on top of the vertical posts should correspond to the circular holes on the ends of the module. 9.
3.4 Floppy drive and 2nd hard drive/CD-ROM installation If you would like to install a floppy drive or 2nd hard drive, CD-ROM drive, a riser card which comes with the accessory box has to be installed first as shown in Figure 3-10. 3.4.1 Floppy drive installation Up to two floppy drives can be attached to the PPC-S123's I/O controller. Any combination of 5¼" (360KB and 1.2 MB) and/or 3½" (720KB, 1.44 MB, and 2.88MB) drives can be attached.
Power connector for FDD/HDD/CD-ROM Floppy drive connector IDE connector Figure 3-10: Install the riser card 3.4.2 2nd hard drive or CD-ROM drive installation Two connectors are located on the riser card above the PPC-S123's I/O output connectors. The 40-pin connector is for an external set of master and slave hard disks/CD-ROM. Connect the single end of the appropriate cable to the PPC-S123, and connect the two remaining ends to your hard disk(s)/CD-ROM.
3.5 Adapter cable installation Due to the PPC's compact design, the panel PC's edge for I/O ports is limited to accommodate fully intregrated I/O ports. So we designed a simplified connector for the printer port, and COM ports. Please follow the instructions below to use this port: 1. A printer port adapter cable is included with the accessory box. Connect this cable with 26-pin MDR printer port on the panel PC (Figure 3-11), then you can connect a standard printer with the panel PC.
CHAPTER 4 Jumper Settings and Connectors This chapter tells how to set up the panel PC hardware, including instructions on setting jumpers and connecting peripherals, switches and indicators. Be sure to read all the safety precautions before you begin the installation procedures.
4.1 Jumpers and Connectors 4.1.1 Setting jumpers You can configure your panel PC to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electrical switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3.
4.1.2 Jumpers and switch The motherboard of the PPC-S123 has a number of jumpers that allow you to configure your system to suit your applications. The table below lists the function of each of the board’s jumpers.
