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 let 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 non-industrial
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.

Note: All AAEON's LCD products are manufactured with High precision
technology. However, in all LCD panels there maybe a small number of
defective pixels that do not change color. This is a normal occurrence for all
LCD displays from all manufacturers and should not be noticeable or
objectionable under normal operation. AAEON qualify the LCD panel
following industry standard: total 7 dead pixels on a screen or if there are 3
within 1 inch square area of each other on the display.

A Quick Tour of the Panel PC
Before you start to set up the panel PC, take a moment to become familiar with
the locations and purposes of the controls, drives, connectors and ports, which
are illustrated in the figures below.
When you place the panel PC upright on the desktop, its front panel appears as
shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2.1: Front view of PC-3200 panel PC
When you turn the panel PC around and look at its rear cover, you will find the
I/O section as shown in Fig. 2-2. (The I/O section includes various I/O ports,
including serial ports, parallel port, the Ethernet port, USB ports, the
Line-in/Line-out jack, and so on.) The battery door cover is at the bottom of the
panel PC, as shown in Fig. 2-4.
