2.1 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 illus-
trated in the figures below.
When you place the Panel PC upright on the desktop, its front panel appears as
shown in Figure 2.1.

2.2 Installation Procedures
2.2.1 Connecting the Power Cord
The Panel PC can only be powered by a DC electrical outlet. Be sure to always han-
dle the power cord by holding the plug ends only.Please follow the Figure 2-5 to con-
nect the male plug of the power cord to the DC Inlet of the Panel PC.
2.2.2 Connecting the Keyboard or Mouse
Before you start the computer, please connect the necessary mouse or keyboard to
the USB ports.
2.2.3 Switching On the Power
When you look at the bottom of the computer, you will see the power switch.
Figure 2.5 Switching on the power
2.3 Running the BIOS Setup Program
Your computer 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 computer’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 computer, 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.

Chapter 2 System Setup
2.4 Installing System Software
Recent releases of operating systems from major vendors include setup programs
which load automatically and guide you operating system installation. The guidelines
below will help you determine the steps necessary to install your operating system on
the computer hard drive.
The BIOS of the computer supports system boot-up directly from the CDROM drive
connected via USB interface. You may insert your system installation CD-ROM into
the CD-ROM drive.
Power on your computer or reset the system by pressing the "Ctrl"+"Alt"+"Del" keys
simultaneously. The computer 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 sys-
tem files to it. Refer to your operating system user's manual for instructions on parti-
tioning and formatting a hard drive.
2.5 Installing the Drivers
After installing your system software, you will be able to set up the AMD chipset,
VGA, audio, LAN, and touch screen functions. All the drivers are stored in a CD-ROM
disc entitled "Drivers and Utilities" (Pls check the correct wording on the CD) which
can be found in your accessory box.
The utility directory includes multimedia programs. Some drivers and utilities in the
CD-ROM disc have their own text files which help users install the drivers and under-
stand their functions.
These files are a very useful supplement to the information in this manual. And more
detail of driver installation please refers to Chapter 5 to 10 of this manual.
Note! Some distributors and system integrators may have already pre-
installed system software prior to shipment of your Panel PC.
Note! The drivers and utilities used for the PPC-L61T are subject to change
without notice. If in doubt, check Advantech’s website or contact our
application engineers for the latest information regarding drivers and
utilities.

3.1 Overview of Hardware Installation and
Upgrading
The Panel PC consists of a PC-based computer that is housed in a ruggedized alu-
minum front panel. Any maintenance or hardware upgrades can be completed after
removing rear panel.
3.2 Installing the Storage Device and Memory
The Standard Panel PC computer can use a Compact Flash Card (CFC) or Optional
Extension HDD kit as a storage device.
Put the CFC into the CF slot and insert the RAM into the 200-pin SODIMM socket on
the main board.
3.3 Installing the Optional accessory
Optional accessories, like Extension HDD kit or other functional modules are avail-
able for purchase to complement PPC-L61T. The following are instructions for acces-
sory installation.
3.3.1 Installing Extension HDD kit
