Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from
damage.
To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis
before you work on it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other
cards while the PC is on.
Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush
of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive elec-
tronic components.

1.1 Introduction
The PPC-4151W is a new generation Panel PC with a WXGA (1366 x 768) screen.
Most importantly, the system is equipped with a high performance Intel Core i CPU
with the heat being dissipated by its high efficiency fanless thermal design. This
makes HMI a big step forward in consolidating performance and reliability in one sys-
tem. With multiple I/O ports such as five COM, five USB and dual Gigabit ethernet
make it easier to connect to devices and be integrated into the machine building
industry. In addition, PCIe/PCI expansion to add on field bus or proprietary card
makes more applications possible. Last but not least, the multi touch screen makes
the HMI more intuitive, to bring you the best operating experience.
