1.1 Introduction

The PPC-120/140 panel PC is a multimedia Pentium^®MMX

processor-based computer that is designed to serve as a human machine

interface (HMI) and as a desktop computer. It is a PC-based system with

12.1"/13.8" color TFT or STN LCD display, on-board PCI Ethernet

controller, multi-COM port interfaces and a 16-bit audio controller. With

built-in CD-ROM drive, floppy drive and PCMCIA expansion sockets, the

PPC-120/140 is as compact and user-friendly as a notebook computer.

Unlike notebook computers, the PPC-120/140 is more durable and

versatile in all applications. The panel PC can be placed on a desktop to

replace the traditional desktop computer. In addition, its "fit anywhere"

design makes it very flexible and able to be used in many different kinds

of installations. It can be wall mounted, panel mounted or stood upright on

a desktop.

For system integrators, this simple, complete, compact and highly

integrated multimedia system lets you easily build a panel PC into your

applications. Common industrial applications include factory automation

systems, precision machinery, and production process control. It is also

suitable for many nonindustrial applications, including interactive kiosk

systems, entertainment management, and car park automation. Our panel

PC is a reliable, cost-effective solution to your application's processing

requirements.

2.4 Running the BIOS Setup Program

Your panel PC is likely to have been properly set up and configured by

your dealer prior to delivery. You may still find it necessary to use the

panel PC's BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) setup program to change

system configuration information, such as the current date and time or

your type of hard drive. The setup program is stored in read-only memory

(ROM). It can be accessed either when you turn on or reset the panel PC,

by pressing the "Del" key on your keyboard immediately after powering

on the computer.

The settings you specify with the setup program are recorded in a special

area of memory called CMOS RAM. This memory is backed up by a

battery so that it will not be erased when you turn off or reset the system.

Whenever you turn on the power, the system reads the settings stored in

CMOS RAM and compares them to the equipment check conducted

during the power on self-test (POST). If an error occurs, an error message

will be displayed on screen, and you will be prompted to run the setup

program.

If you want to change the setup of BIOS, refer to Chapter 9 for more

detailed information.

2.5 Installing System Software

Recent releases of operating systems from major vendors include setup

programs which load automatically and guide you through hard disk

preparation and operating system installation. The guidelines below will

help you determine the steps necessary to install your operating system on

the panel PC hard drive.

Note:

Some distributors and system integrators may have

already pre-installed system software prior to shipment

of your panel PC.

If required, insert your operating system's installation or setup diskette

into the diskette drive until the release button pops out. (See Fig. 3-1.)

The BIOS of the panel PC supports system boot-up directly from the

CD-ROM drive. You may also insert your system installation CD-ROM

into the CD-ROM drive. (See Fig. 3-2.) Refer to Chapter 9 - BIOS Setup

if you wish to change the BIOS settings.

Power on your panel PC or reset the system by pressing the

"Ctrl"+"Alt"+"Del" keys simultaneously. The panel PC will automatically

load the operating system from the diskette or CD-ROM.

If you are presented with the opening screen of a setup or installation

program, follow the instructions on screen. The setup program will guide

you through preparation of your hard drive, and installation of the

operating system.

If you are presented with an operating system command prompt, such as

A:\>, then you must partition and format your hard drive, and manually

copy the operating system files to it. Refer to your operating system user's

manual for instructions on partitioning and formatting a hard drive.

2.6 Installing the Drivers

After installing your system software, you will be able to set up the

Ethernet, SVGA, audio, and touchscreen functions. All the drivers except

the CD-ROM drive driver are stored in a CD-ROM disc entitled "Drivers

and Utilities". The CD-ROM drive driver is stored in a floppy disk. Both

the CD-ROM and the floppy disk can be found in your accessory box.

4.4 Installing the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The panel PC's central processing unit (CPU) can be upgraded to improve

system performance. The panel PC provides one 321-pin ZIF (Zero

Insertion Force) socket (Socket 7) which is backward compatible with ZIF

Socket 5 processors. The CPU must come with an attached heatsink and

CPU fan to prevent overheating. The panel PC comes with one CPU fan

with a unique connector in the accessory box.

Warning! The CPU may be damaged if operated without a

heatsink and a fan.

Warning! Always disconnect the power cord from your panel PC

when you are working on it. Do not make connections

while the power is on as sensitive electronic components

can be damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only

experienced electronics personnel should open the panel PC.

1. Detach and remove the rear cover, shielding case and side panel.

2. Detach the flat cables of the HDD, FDD and CD-ROM drives.

3. Unscrew the ten screws of the shielding case and remove the case.

4. Locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways

away from the socket, then upwards at an angle of 90 degrees.

5. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation. The notched corner of the

CPU (with the white dot) should point towards the end of the lever.

The end of the lever is the blank area where one hole is missing from

the corner of the square array of pin holes. An arrowhead printed on

the motherboard points to the end of the lever. (See Fig. 4-3 overleaf.)

6. Slide the CPU in gently. It should insert easily. If not, pull the lever up

a little more and make sure the pins of the CPU correspond with the

holes of the socket. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE!

7. Press the lever down. The plate will slide forward.

8. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU and tighten it with the heatsink

clip (shown in Fig. 4-3).

9. Attach the CPU fan to the CPU heatsink with the four screws.

10. Connect the power cable of the CPU fan to the 2-pin connector (J12).

11. After changing the CPU, you must set jumpers, including those for the

PCI bus clock (JP8), system/PCI clock (JP11), frequency ratio (JP14),

and voltage (JP13). (See Section 5.2.)

12. To remove the CPU, pull the lever out to the side a little and raise it as

far as it will go. Lift out the CPU chip.

NOTE!

When you install a new CPU, be sure to adjust the

board jumper settings. Improper settings may damage

the CPU. (See Chapter 5 for jumper settings.)

4.5 Installing the SDRAM Memory Module

You can install from 16 MB to 128 MB of SDRAM memory. The panel

PC system provides one 168-pin DIMM (Double Inline Memory Module)

socket and supports 3.3 V SDRAM with a minimum speed of 12 ns.

Note:

The module can fit into the socket only one way. Pin 1 of

the DIMM module must line up with the small arrowhead

printed on the motherboard next to the DIMM socket.

The golden pins of the module must point down into the

DIMM socket.

1. Detach and remove the rear cover and CPU cover.

2. Push the two white eject levers on each side of the DIMM outward

until they are separated from the black vertical posts. (See Fig. 4-4.)

3. Insert the memory module into the socket at an angle of 90 degrees.

4. Push the two eject levers towards the vertical posts at each end of the

socket until the module is upright.

4.6 Installing the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD)

Installation of a floppy disk drive is similar to that for a hard disk drive.

The metal plate for holding the FDD is on the left side of the shielding

case. The 26-pin yellow FPC cable is for connecting the FDD. Only 3.5"

floppy disk drives (720 KB and 1.44 MB) can be attached to the metal

plate.

1. Detach and remove the rear cover and side panel.

2. There is a metal plate for holding the FDD on the right side of the

shielding case. (See Fig. 4-5.) Unscrew the two screws on the upper

side of the metal plate.

3. Push the metal plate to the right and remove it from the two lugs of the

shielding case.

4. Place the FDD on the metal plate. Tighten the four smaller screws

located on each side of the metal plate.

5. Connect the yellow FDD cable (26-pin to 26-pin) which is next to the

metal plate of the FDD. The other end of the FDD cable is connected

to connector J8 on the PC board.

6. Attach the two screws of the metal plate to the original hole.

5.1 Jumpers and Connectors

5.1.1 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. In this case, you would connect either pins 1 and 2 or pins 2 and 3.

Open

Closed

Closed 2 - 3

The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:

Open

Closed

Closed 2 - 3

A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers.

If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your

application, contact your local distributor or sales representative before

you make any changes.

7.1 Introduction

The PPC-120/140 has an on-board PCI flat panel/VGA interface. The

specifications and features are described as follows:

Chipset

The PPC-120/140 uses a C&T 65555 chipset for its PCI/SVGA controller.

It supports many popular LCD, EL, and gas plasma flat panel displays and

conventional analog CRT monitors. The 65555 VGA BIOS supports

monochrome LCD, EL, color TFT and STN LCD flat panel displays. In

addition, it also supports interlaced and non-interlaced analog monitors

(color and monochrome VGA) in high-resolution modes while

maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital monitors

(i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported. Multiple frequency

(multisync) monitors are handled as if they were analog monitors.

Display memory

With on-board 2 MB display memory, the VGA controller can drive CRT

displays or color panel displays with resolutions up to 1024 x 768 at 64 K

colors. The display memory can be expanded to 4 MB for true-color

resolution of 1024 x 768.

Display types

CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The PPC-120/140

can be set in one of three configurations: on a CRT, on a flat panel display,

or on both simultaneously. The system is initially set to simultaneous

display mode. The CD-ROM disc includes three *.COM files in the

subdirectory Utility\vga\which can be used to configure the

display. In order to use these configuration programs, type the file name

and path at the DOS prompt.

Award BIOS Setup

This chapter describes how to set BIOS

configuration data.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

9.1 Award BIOS Setup

The PPC-120/140 comes with an Award BIOS chip that contains the

ROM setup for your system. This chip serves as an interface between the

processor and the rest of the mainboard's components. This chapter

explains the information contained in the setup program and tells you how

to modify the settings according to your system configuration. Some setup

items will not be explained, because it is recommended that users do not

change such items.

Note:

Values for the various setup items that appear on your

own screen (including default values) may not be the

same as the values shown on the screen figures in this

chapter. This is because the BIOS is revised and

updated from time to time. If in doubt, check

Advantech's web site for the latest BIOS versions and

related information.

9.2 CMOS Setup Utility

Figure 9-1: Setup program initial screen

PPC-120/140 User's Manual

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

A setup program, built into the system BIOS, is stored in the CMOS RAM

that allows the configuration settings to be changed. This program is

executed when the user changes the system configuration; when the user

changes the system backup battery; or when the system detects a

configuration error and asks the user to run the setup program. At

power-on RAM testing, the message "Press DEL to enter Setup" appears.

After pressing the "DEL" key, the CMOS setup utility screen will appear

as shown in Fig. 9-1. Use the arrow keys to select and press "Enter" to run

the selected program.

9.3 Standard CMOS Setup

Figure 9-2: CMOS setup screen

The standard CMOS setup screen is shown above. System BIOS

automatically detects memory size, so no changes are necessary. It has a

few items requiring setting. Each item may have one or more optional

settings. System BIOS allows you to change the system date and time,

IDE hard disk, floppy disk drive types for drives A: and B:, boot-up video

display mode, and POST error handling selection. Use the arrow keys to

highlight the item and then use the "PgUp" or "PgDn" keys to select the

value you want for each item.

activity which is defined as enabled occurs, the system goes directly back

to Full-on Mode.

If the IRQ activity which is defined as "Disabled" occurs, the system

enters another low power state, Dream Mode. In Dream Mode, the system

will function the same as in Full-on Mode, except that the screen display

remains off until the corresponding IRQ handler finishes, whereupon the

system reverts to Suspend Mode.

For instance, if the system is connected to a LAN and receives an

interruption from its file server, the system will enter Dream Mode to

execute the corresponding calling routine.

The options are: Enabled, Disabled.

The default values of IRQ3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 are all:

The options are: Enabled (Default), Disabled.

PCI IDE IRQ Map To

This item allows you to configure your system to the type of IDE disk

controller that you are using. By default, Setup assumes that your

controller is a PCI device rather than an ISA controller. The more

apparent difference is the type of slot being used.

Your system is equipped with a PCI controller. Selecting PCI-AUTO

allows you to specify which slot has the controller and which PCI interrupt

(A, B, C or D) is associated with the connected hard drives.

The options are: PCI-AUTO (Default), ISA.

Primary IDE INT#

Remember that this setting refers to the hard disk drive itself, rather than

individual partitions.

Secondary IDE INT#

Since each IDE controller supports two separate hard drives, you can

select the INT# for each. You will note that the primary has a lower

interrupt than the secondary.

Selecting PCI-AUTO allows the system to automatically determine how

your IDE disk system is configured.

When you select "Both", two PCI/IDE ports will be enabled. If you select

"Disabled", both PCI/IDE ports will be enabled. You can also select one

of two ports to be enabled by selecting "Primary" or "Secondary".

The options are: Both (Default), Disabled, Primary, Secondary.

IDEPrimary/SecondaryMaster/SlavePIO

IDE hard disk drive controllers can support up to separate hard drives.

These drives have a master/slave relationship which is determined by the

cabling configuration used to attach them to the controller. Your system

supports two IDE controllers - a primary and a secondary - so you have

the ability to install up to four separate hard disks.

PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than having the BIOS issue

a series of commands to effect a transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO

allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then let the

controller and the CPU perform the task by themselves.

Your system supports five modes, numbered from 0 through 4, which

differ primarily in timing. When "Auto" is selected, the BIOS will choose

the best available mode.

The options are: Auto, (Default), Disabled.

Primary/SecondaryMaster/SlaveUltraDMA

DMA means Direct Memory Access. Ultra DMA is faster than DMA.

DMA is a method of transferring data to or from memory at a fast rate,

without involving the CPU.

When you select "Auto", the BIOS will choose the best available mode.

The options are: Auto (Default), Disabled.

IDEBurstMode

When enabled, data transfer on IDE buses will improve.

The options are: Disabled (Default), Enabled.

10.2.4 Installation for OS/2 (MonitorMouse)

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

First be sure OS/2 is installed and operating properly with your mouse. As

you will be modifying the CONFIG.SYS file, it is best to have the OS/2

installation disks or a bootable DOS disk readily available. This way, any

problems in CONFIG.SYS which cause the system not to boot can be

corrected by rebooting from the disk(s).

Five steps are required when installing MonitorMouse for OS/2:

Step 1 - Configure your Controller

Step 2 - Copy the Software

Step 3 - Modify CONFIG.SYS

Step 4 - Install the Touchscreen Control Panel

Step 5 - Calibrate the Touchscreen

STEP 1 - CONFIGURE YOUR CONTROLLER

Verify your controller configuration. Elo typically ships touchscreen

controllers preconfigured for use with Elo software, including

MonitorMouse for OS/2. Configuration requires setting switches and/or

installing jumpers that determine controller operating parameters. You will

need these parameters when you install the MonitorMouse for OS/2 driver

software. For controller installation instructions, refer to the IntelliTouch

Product Manual or the AccuTouch Product Manual.

134

STEP 2 - COPY THE SOFTWARE

The following files are on the MonitorMouse for OS/2 disk:

!READ.ME!

Text file containing any additions or changes made

after this manual was printed.

MONMOU01.SYS Touchscreen driver for serial touchscreen controllers

on PC bus systems.

MONMOU02.SYS Touchscreen driver for serial touchscreen controllers

on Micro Channel systems.

MONMOU03.SYS Touchscreen driver for PC bus and Micro Channel

touchscreen controllers.

ELOCAL2.EXE

Touchscreen control panel software program used to

calibrate the touchscreen and to select options.

ELOCAL2.DLL

ELOCAL2.HLP

ELO.BMP

touchscreen controller.

COMDUMP.EXE DOS program for testing serial touchscreen

controllers.

BUSSTAT.EXE

DOS program for testing PC bus touchscreen

controllers.

SAWDUMP.EXE DOS program for testing IntelliTouch touchscreen

controllers.

Create a subdirectory on your hard disk and copy the files into it. For

example:

CD \

MD ELO

COPY A:*.* ELO

International versions of the touchscreen control panel software program

are included in subdirectories on the MonitorMouse for OS/2 disk. Replace

ELOCAL2.DLL and ELOCAL2.HLP on your hard disk with the versions

from the appropriate subdirectory.

STEP 3 - MODIFY CONFIG.SYS

MonitorMouse for OS/2 is installed by commands in CONFIG.SYS. Use

your system editor to make these changes. In general, the changes are as

follows:

1. Comment-out the existing DEVICE command(s) for your mouse.

2. Add a DEVICE command for the appropriate MonitorMouse for the

OS/2 touchscreen driver immediately after the commented-out

DEVICE commands(s).

3. Add a new DEVICE command for MOUSE.SYS.

The order of the DEVICE commands is important. Other changes may be

required depending on your hardware configuration and version of OS/2.

SerialTouchscreenControlleronPCBusSystem

Change your CONFIG.SYS file as follows:

Rem C:/OS2\MOUSE.SYS {Flags}

Device=c:\elo\monmou01.sys <controller>, <COM

port>,<baud rate>

Device=c:\os2\mouse.sys stype=elomou$ {Flags -

keep same as above}

Where:

<controller>is:

2300 for the IntelliTouch E281-2300 serial controller.

4002 for the IntelliTouch E281{A}-4002 serial controller.

2210 for the AccuTouch E271-2210 serial controller.

140 for the AccuTouch E271-140 serial controller.

<COM port>is:

the number of the COM port where the serial output of the touchscreen

controller is connected.

matches the switch or jumper settings on the controller.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Example MonitorMouse for OS/2 DEVICE command:

Device=c:\elo\monmou01.sys 2210,1,9600

NoMouse

If you do not wish to have a mouse connected, change the

“stype=elomou$” flag to “type=elomou$” on the DEVICE=MOUSE.SYS

command.

DisablingtheCOMDrivers

If your system COM ports are being used by the touchscreen and mouse,

REM out the DEVICE=COM.SYS and DEVICE=VCOM.SYS commands

(if present) in CONFIG.SYS. This prevents the COM drivers from

displaying amessage saying the COM port is unavailable.

If only the touchscreen is using a COM port, move the

DEVICE=COM.SYS and DEVICE=VCOM.SYS commands before the

DEVICE=MONMOU02.SYS command in CONFIG.SYS. Then add the

flag (<COM Port>,0,0) to COM.SYS, where <COM Port> is the same as

on the DEVICE=MONMOU01.SYS command. For example,

Device=c:\os2\com.sys (1,0,0)

STEP 4 - INSTALL THE TOUCHSCREEN CONTROL PANEL

The touchscreen control panel software program, ELOCAL2.EXE, is a

presentation manager application for calibrating the touchscreen and

setting various options.

Add the \ELO\ELOCAL2.EXE program to the System Setup folder and

label the icon “Touchscreen”. This is accomplished as follows:

1. Open the OS/2 System folder, then System Setup.

2. Open the Templates folder.

3. Drag the Program template with the right mouse button into the

System Setup folder. A Settings notebook will be displayed.

4. Enter “C:\ELO\ELOCAL2.EXE” as the path and file name. Enter

“C:\ELO” as the working directory.

5. Select the "General" tab. Change the Title to “Touchscreen”.

6. Close the notebook.

See your OS/2 documentation for detailed instructions on installing new

applications.

STEP 5 - CALIBRATE THE TOUCHSCREEN

Double-click the Touchscreen icon with the mouse (as the touchscreen

may not be calibrated yet), or use the keyboard if the mouse is not

connected. You may also run ELOCAL2.EXE from an OS/2 Window

prompt.

Select "Calibrate" and follow the on-screen instructions. After calibrating,

the touchscreen will work like the mouse. The DEVICE=MONMOUxx

command in CONFIG.SYS is updated with the new calibration points

(-c flag). The calibration points are then set automatically each time the

system is started. Recalibration should only be necessary after moving or

resizing the video image, or after changing either the touchscreen,

controller, or monitor.

Close the touchscreen control panel.
