POC-S176 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
The POC-S176 is an Intel® CoreTM Duo / Intel® Core 2 Duo Mobility processor-
based computer that is designed to serve as a Point-of-Care terminal (POC.) It is a
PC-based system with 17" color TFT LCD display, Single DVI-I Port, Dual on-board
10/100/1000 PCI-E Ethernet controller, Single COM port, Quad USB 2.0 port and a
24-bit stereo audio controller. With a built-in 2.5” HDD drive, the POC-S176 is as slim
and user-friendly as a notebook computer and generates low audible noise. For sys-
tem integrators, this silent, compact, mobile and highly integrated multimedia system
lets you easily build a Point-of-Care Terminal into your applications. The low audible
noise of POC-S176 makes it an ideal and safe Point-of-Care solution for patients and
hospital practitioners.
The POC-S176 is specially designed to resist spills and water damage, and ensures
dust resistance with its protected LCD, sealed ports, like a closed system. The high
contrast ratio (500:1) of POC-S176 makes it a perfect image terminal for PACS and
DICOM applications. The POC-S176 is a reliable solution to your application's pro-
cessing requirements.

2.1 A Quick Tour of the POC-S176
Before you start to set up the POC-S176, take a moment to become familiar with the
locations and purposes of the controls, drives, connections and ports, which are illus-
trated in the figures below.
When you place the POC-S176 upright on the desktop, its front panel appears as
shown in Figure 2.1.
Figure 2.1 Front view of the Point-of-care terminal
When you turn the Point-of-Care Terminal around and look at its rear cover, the
sunken I/O section is at the bottom of the panel PC, as shown in Figure 2-2. (The I/O
section includes various I/O ports, including serial ports, DVI port, the Ethernet port,
USB ports, the DC power adapter jack, and so on.)

2.2 Installation Procedures
2.2.1 Connecting the Power Cord
The POC-S176 could only be powered by a DC power adapter (SINPRO Model No.
MPU100-107). Be sure to always handle the power cords by holding the plug ends
only.
Follow these procedures in order:
1. Connect the female end of the power adapter to the DC jack of the panel PC.
(See Figure 2.3.)
2. Connect the female end of the power cord to the DC power adapter.
3. Connect the 3-pin male plug of the power cord to an electrical outlet.
2.2.2 Switching on the Power
Switch on the power switch on the back I/O.
Figure 2.3 Connecting the power cord
Warning! The POC-S176 is supplied by a 100 Watt power supply and a special
adapter as depicted in the model above.
If a medical adaptor is connected to the POC-S176, the customer must
ensure legal and regulatory compliance and that the device meets the
law and standards compliance requirements of this hardware.

POC-S176 User Manual 10
2.3 Running the BIOS Setup Program
Your POC-S176 has more than likely been properly set up and configured by your
dealer prior to delivery. You may still find it necessary to use the 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. It can be accessed either when you turn on or reset the panel PC,
by pressing the "Crtl+Alt+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.
2.4 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.
If required, insert your operating system's installation or setup diskette into the exter-
nal diskette drive until the release button pops out.
The BIOS supports system boot-up directly from the CD-ROM drive. You may also
insert your system installation CD-ROM disk into your external CD-ROM drive.
Power on or reset the system by pressing the "Ctrl+Alt+Del" keys simultaneously.
The Point-of-Care Terminal will automatically load the operating system from the dis-
kette 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.
Note! Some distributors and system integrators may have already pre-
installed system software prior to shipment of your panel PC.
