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
and heatsink cover and HDD bracket.
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.
Warning!
3.2 Installing the 2.5" Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
You can attach one enhanced Integrated Device Electronics (IDE) hard
disk drive to the panel PC's internal controller which uses a PCI
local-bus interface. The advanced IDE controller supports faster data
transfer and allows the IDE hard drive to exceed 528 MB. The following
are instructions for installation:
1. Detach the HDD bracket by unscrewing the four screws on the top
of the HDD bracket.
2. Place the HDD inside the HDD bracket and tighten four screws
from both sides of the HDD bracket.
3. The HDD cable (1 x 44-pin to 1 x 44-pin) is next to the HDD bracket.
Connect the HDD cable to the HDD. Make sure that the red wire
corresponds to Pin 1 on the connector, which is labelled on the
board. Plug the other end of the cable into the HDD, with Pin 1 on
the cable corresponding to Pin 1 on the HDD.
