FCC Class A
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not
installed and used in accordance with this user's manual, it may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.

Packing List
Before installing your panel PC, ensure that the following materials have
been received:
• PPC-102 series panel PC
• User's manual
• Accessories for PPC-102
- Power cable for both FDD and HDD/CD-ROM
- FDD flat cable (35 cm)
- Keyboard extension cable (5-pin DIN female to 6-pin PS/2 male)
- FDD power cable
- HDD flat cable (44-pin) (5 cm)
- HDD flat cable (40-pin) (46 cm)
- Line-in cable
- Power cord (1.8 m) - USA type
- Assembly mounting parts
- Heat sink
- HDD bracket
- Utility disks
- Screws
If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact your distributor or
sales representative immediately.
Note:
1. The heat sink is included in the PPC-102's accessory box.
2. The CPU you intend to purchase may be sold together with a fan
attached with adhesive.
3. Customers must buy the CPU separately. Do not buy a CPU that
already has a fan attached with adhesive, because it is not easy to
remove such fan.
If you install a 586 series CPU yourself, you must install a heat sink above
the CPU in order to avoid heat damage to the CPU. The CPU and the heat
sink are normally sold together with the fan attached to the CPU. Due to
tight constraints within the PPC-102’s housing, care must be taken to use
the heat sink in the accessory box which will both cool the CPU and fit
within the PPC-102. Thus you must buy a CPU without a fan attached.

2PPC-102 User's Manual
1.1 Introduction
The PPC-102 panel PC is a multimedia Pentium®processor-based
industrial computer that is designed to serve as a human machine inter-
face (HMI). It is a PC-based system with 10.4" color TFT or mono LCD
display, on-board PCI Ethernet, multi-COM port interfaces, and a 16-bit
audio controller. This simple, complete, compact and highly integrated
multimedia system lets you easily build a panel PC into your applications.
By incorporating the PPC-102 into your project, your product development
time will be shortened.
The PPC-102 is a compact, network-compatible PC with extensive
features to control a dedicated system in a wide variety of applications.
Common industrial applications include factory automation systems,
precision machinery, and production process control. It is also suitable for
many nonindustrial applications, including terminal information systems,
entertainment management systems, and car park automation systems.
Our panel PC is a reliable, cost-effective solution to your application's
processing requirements.
