Plugging the DC Power Cable
1. Plug the DC 4- pin DIN power jack (male) into the DC 4 -pin DIN
power jack (female) that is on the system. The table below shows the
pin definition of the cable.
Panel Mounting
1. Select a place on the panel where you will mount the Panel PC.
2. Cut out a shape on the panel that corresponds to the Panel PCs
rear dimensions.
3. Slide the Panel PC through the hole until it is properly fitted against
the panel.
4. Position the mounting clamps along the rear edges of the Panel PC.
The first and second clamps must be positioned and secured diagonally
prior to mounting the rest of the clamps. Tighten the clamps screw until
it touches the panel.
CAUTION!
Do not overtighten the screws to prevent damaging the Panel PC.
The thickness of the
panel (e.g. steel
board, plank, acrylic
board, wall, etc.)
where you will mount
the Panel PC must
not exceed 6mm. If
the distance between
the front bezel and
panel mount hole is
too wide, it will not fit
the panel mount kit.

Chapter 3: BIOS Setup This chapter describes how to use the BIOS setup program for the AcuPanel 15. The BIOS scr eens provided in this chapter are for reference only and may change if the BIOS is updated in the future. About BIOS Setup The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup program is a menu driven utility that enables you to make ch anges to the system configuration and tailor your system to suit your individual work needs. It is a ROM -based configuration utility that displays the systems configuration status and provides you with a tool to set system param eters. These parameters are stored in non -volatile battery -backed -up CMOS RAM that saves this information even when the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system is configured with the values found in CMOS. With easy -to -us e pull down menus, you can configure such items as: . Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals . Video display type and display options . Password protection from unauthorized use . Power management features The settings made in the setup program affect how the computer performs. It is important, therefore, first to try to understand all the setup options, and second, to make settings appropriate for the way you use the computer. When to Configure the BIOS . This program should be executed under the following conditions: . When changing the system configuration . When a configuration error is detec ted by the system and you are prompted to make changes to the setup program . When res etting the system clock . When redefining the communication ports to prevent any conflicts . When making changes to the Power Management configuration . When changing the password or making other changes to the security setup Normally, CMOS setup is needed when the system hardware is not consistent with the information contained in the CMOS RAM, whenever the CMOS RAM has lost power, or the system features need to be changed. Default Configuration Most of the configuration settings are either predefined according to the Load Optimal Defaults settings which are stored in the BIOS or are automatically detected and configured without requiring any actions. There are a few setting s that you may need to change depending on your system configuration. Entering Setup When the system is powered on, the BIOS will enter the Power - On Self Test (POST) routines. These routines perform various diagnostic checks; if an er ror is encountered, the error will be reported in one of two different ways: . If the error occurs before the display device is initialized, a series of beeps will be transmitted. . If the error occurs after the display device is initialized, the screen will display the error message. Powering on the computer and immediately pressing allows you to enter Setup. Another way to enter Setup is to power on the computer and wait for the following message during the POST: TO ENTER SETUP BEFORE BOOT PRESS Press the key to enter Setup: 11 12

several setup functions and one exit. Use arrow keys to select among
the items and press
accept or enter the submenu.

Advanced The Advanced menu allows you to configure your system for basic operation. Some entries are defaults required by the system board, while others, if enabled, will improve the performance of your system or let you set some features according to your preferenc e. Setting incorrect field values may cause the system to malfunction. IDE Configuration This section is used to configure the SATA as IDE or AHCI mode. AHCI (default Setting) This option configures the Serial ATA drives as Parallel ATA physical storage device. This option configures the Serial ATA drives to use AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface). AHCI allows the storage driver to enable the advanced Serial ATA features which will increase storage performance. Intel® IGD Conf iguration This section is used to configure the Intel® IGD Graphic configurations. 15 16
IGFX – Boot Type This field is used to configure which video device will be activated during POST. This has no effect if external graphics present. The options are CRT,LVDS, LVDS + CRT and CRT + HDMI. Backlight Control Select The available options are Pyroelectric sensor and Tact Switch. The default setting is Tact Switch and the Backlight On/Off button is functional only in this mode.+ CRT Backlight On/Off Reverse Please configure this option only when changing the panel, otherwise the display may not work. Backlight Dimming Control Select The options are Tact Switch, Manual and Light sensor. and the Backlight option below will be configurable.The default setting is Tact Switch and the Backlight option below will not be configurable, please use the brightness button on the panel to adjust it. Backlight Adjusts the brightness of the backlight. Fixed Graphics Memory Size This field is used to configure the memory size of the fixed graphics, the options are 128MB and 256MB. Save & Exit Save Changes and Reset To save the changes and reset, select this field then press . A dialog box will appear. Confirm by selecting Yes.
