Safety Approvals
CEMarking
FCCClassA
FCC Compliance
This equipment has been tested and complies 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
interference in a residential installation. If not installed and used in
accordance with proper instructions, this equipment might generate or
radiate radio frequency energy and cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measurers:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with
emission limits.

iv
Safety Precautions
Before getting started, read the following important cautions.
1. The P2127-810 does not come equipped with an
operating system. An operating system must be loaded
first before installing any software into the computer.
2. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when
installing the internal components. Use a grounding wrist
strap and place all electronic components in any
static-shielded devices. Most electronic components are
sensitive to static electrical charge.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the P2127-810 before
making any installation. Be sure both the system and the
external devices are turned OFF. Sudden surge of power
could ruin sensitive components. Make sure the
P2127-810 is properly grounded.
4. The brightness of the flat panel display decreases with
usage. However, hours of use vary depending on the
application environment.
5. Turn OFF the system power before cleaning. Clean the
system using a cloth only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner
directly onto the screen. The P2127-810 may come with
or w/o a touchscreen. Although the touchscreen is
chemical resistant, it is recommended that you spray the
liquid cleaner on a cloth first before wiping the screen. In
case your system comes without the touchscreen, you
must follow the same procedure and not spray any
cleaner on the flat panel directly.
6. Avoid using sharp objects to operate the touchscreen.
Scratches on the touchscreen may cause malfunction or
internal failure to the touchscreen.
7. The flat panel display is not susceptible to shock or
vibration. When assembling the P2127-810, make sure it is
securely installed.
8. Do not open the system’s back cover. If opening the
cover for maintenance is a must, only a trained
technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on
computer boards are sensitive to static electricity. To

v
avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge,
observe the following precautions:
9Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an
unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few
seconds. This will help to discharge any static electricity on
your body.
9When handling boards and components, wear a
wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic
component stores.

1.1 General Description
The P2127-810 super slim industrial panel PCs are mainly designed
for industrial automation and some space-constricted embedded
applications. For some space-concerned industries, a traditional PC
with a separate main system, display monitor and keyboard is simply
not integrated enough.
Ruggedly designed, the P2127-810 is 100% IBM PC/AT compatible
and it integrates super I/Os, 12.1” TFT touchscreen, Ethernet, and
packs special industrial features like watchdog timer all in a single
system. The full PC functionality coupled with its industrial-grade
construction easily tailors the system for any embedded applications
-- allowing the system to endure continuous operation in any hostile
industrial environments where stability and reliability is a must.
The P2127-810 feature a versatile stand suited for a wide variety of
applications. With the pedestal kit assembled to the main unit, both
can transform into different positions such as desktop free standing,
30°table standing, panel mount and 30°wall mounting. Its cable
management device also trims the operation environment. The NEMA
4/12 water/dust-proof front panel is specially designed for the
continuous operation in outdoor environments. Common applications
of these PANEL PCs include POS, POI terminals, KIOSK, LAN,
Hospitality, Banking, Video Conferencing, Medical instrumentation,
Industrial and Office Automation - to name just a few.
