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 PANEL1080-845 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 PANEL1080-845
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
PANEL1080-845 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 PANEL1080-845 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 PANEL1080-845, make
sure it is securely installed.

v
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
avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge,
observe the following precautions:
# Before 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.
# When handling boards and components, wear a
wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic
component stores.

1.1 General Description
The PANEL1080-845 super slim industrial PANEL PC is 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 PANEL1080-845 is 100% IBM PC/AT
compatible and it integrates super I/Os, VGA, 8.4” TFT touchscreen,
Ethernet, and packs special industrial features like watchdog timer,
CMOS double backup, all in a single system. The full PC functionality
coupled with its industrial-grade construction easily tailors the system
for any embedded applications and allows the system to endure
continuous operation in any hostile industrial environments where
stability and reliability are a must. Common applications of the
PANEL1080-845 include tooling machine, POI terminal, stand-alone
KIOSK, medical instrument, mobile communication device and
banking system - to name just a few.
Designed by the PC experts for PC professionals, the
PANEL1080-845 is virtually the ultimate one-step solution for your
space-limited applications.

a Pentium II CPU, relevant DRAM and a 2.5” HDD. These are all
standard and the system is ready to play. System performance can be
increased by upgrading to, higher capacity DRAM modules and hard
disk drive. The user can use the I/O ports located at the backside of
the chassis to connect external peripheral devices, such as a monitor,
serial devices, parallel printer…etc.
NOTE: Make sure the power cord is disconnected before any
installation. To install any internal device such as CPU,
DRAM and HDD, take out the rear chassis cover first.
