Overview
The PE3M is a powerful slim-line Intel Pentium P4-based Personal Computer (PC) specifically designed to drive
large plasma and other large displays panels. The unit is self-contained requiring as a minimum, only a power
connection and a display. The applications are not limited to display applications: it may be used as a general
purpose PC.
The basic unit comprises a highly integrated computer board employing Intel’s latest 845G chipset that supports
Intel Pentium 4 processors up to 3GHz with 400 MHz and 533MHz front side bus (FSB). Memory options
allow up to 2GB of ultra fast PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM. Storage is provided by a single 2½-inch ATA-
100 hard disk drive.
The on-board Intel Extreme Graphics features Dynamic Video Technology and Zone Rendering Technology to
deliver unrivalled 2D and 3D 16:9 performance with a wide range of resolutions. Displays may be driven in
landscape or portrait modes. Options allow for the addition of an AGP graphics expansion card for specialist
applications. A single short 32-bit PCI (2.2) expansion card may be fitted to expand the range of applications.
Removable media options include a slim-line CD-ROM, CD-RW or DVD-ROM IDE drive. A removable
section facilitates fitting the expansion options.
The on-board audio system may be configured from simple stereo to a full 5.1 surround system. The addition of
a programmable hardware watchdog provides security against an application.
The unit is housed in a strong sheet-steel enclosure providing both mechanical and EMC protection. Fans draw
cooling air into the unit and direct it through the chassis to ensure a wide operating temperature range. The unit
may be mounted on the plasma display, or separately to suit the particular installation. Mounting kits are
available for specific plasma displays, wall or desktop.
All connectors are on the front face of the chassis. There are connectors for a PS/2 mouse and keyboard, a
standard analogue VGA display, two serial ports, a parallel port, two USB (2.0) ports, an Ethernet (10/100) LAN
port, and three audio connectors. The front face of the chassis also includes the AC power inlet connector. The
power supply unit is auto-ranging to cover most markets.
Indicators and controls are limited to a hard drive activity LED, a power on LED and a power standby
pushbutton switch. The LAN connector also includes LEDs indicating a connection and data rate. A recessed
reset switch is fitted but this is only accessible using a simple tool such as a paperclip or similar, to prevent
inadvertent operation.

Precautions
General Precautions
Before attempting any modification to, or internal adjustment of the PE3M PC, please read the following
sections carefully. Certain precautions are necessary when handling circuit boards and equipment
containing them. Failure to observe the precautions could result in being unable to operate the equipment,
damage to the product, or in extreme cases, personal injury. It is imperative that precautions are taken at all
stages to avoid electro-static discharges, which will damage boards. Boards fitted with an on-board lithium
battery must be handled carefully to avoid maltreatment of the battery that could create a hazard.
Under no circumstances should the power supply unit be disassembled. Dangerous voltages exist within the
power supply enclosure. Note that the IEC-320 AC supply connector is the AC supply disconnect device.
Mounting
The unit is supplied with M3 x 6 fixing screws to fix brackets to the ends of the chassis, or to fix directly to
the underside of the chassis. If alternative screws are used, please ensure that they do not enter the chassis
by more than 5 mm, otherwise internal damage may result.
PS/2 Devices
It is important that PS/2 devices (mouse and keyboard) are not connected or disconnected with the unit
powered on. Damage or data corruption may occur if this precaution is not observed.
Electro-Static Discharges
If you are going to open up the unit, it is important to realise that the devices on the cards within this unit
can be damaged by static electricity. Bear in mind that the damage caused by static electricity may vary
from total destruction to partial damage, which may not be immediately obvious. This could have an effect
on the product's reliability and warranty. Before opening the chassis, ensure that you take necessary static
precautions. Ideally you should work at an anti-static bench and wear an approved wrist strap or if that is
not possible, touch a suitable ground to discharge any static build up before touching the electronics. This
should be repeated if the handling continues for any length of time.
If it is necessary to remove a board or electronic assembly, place it into an anti-static bag. This will prevent
any static electricity build up damaging the board. Metallised bags are preferred. Do not use black anti-
static bags for any item containing a battery because these tend to be conductive and will discharge the
battery.
On-Board Battery
The processor board is fitted with a Lithium battery. Great care should be taken with this type of battery. If
the battery is mistreated in any way there is a very real possibility of fire, explosion, and personal harm.
Under NO circumstances should it be short-circuited, exposed to temperatures in excess of 100 ºC or burnt,
immersed in water, recharged or disassembled.
Expired batteries remain hazardous and must be disposed of in a safe manner, according to local regulations.
Le panneau de processeur est équipé d’une batterie de lithium. Le grand soin devrait être pris avec ce type
de batterie. Si la batterie est mistreated il y a de dans de toute façon un possibility très vrai du feu,
d’expolosion et de mal personnel. Dans au cunes circonstances il est sous peu circuité, exposé aux
températures au dessus de 100 degrés de centrigrade ou brûlé, immergé dans l’eau, rechargée ou
dissassambled.
Les batteries expirées restent dazaedous et doivent être reejetées d’une façon sûre, selon des règlements
locaux.

BIOS & CMOS Memory
Please be aware that with personal computer products, it is possible to create configurations within the
CMOS memory that make booting impossible. If this should happen, clear the CMOS settings; (see the
description of the Jumper Settings for details).
Electromagnetic Compatibility
This product meets the requirements of the European EMC Directive (89/336/EEC) and its amending
Directives, and the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC. It is eligible to bear the CE mark. However,
because the unit can be installed in a wide variety of situations, certain conditions have to be applied to
ensure that the compatibility is maintained. Subject to those conditions, it meets the requirements for an
ITE Class A product.
?The PE3M PC must be supplied with a clean AC supply, and the chassis should be connected to a
sound earth (ground). As a minimum the power cord must be connected to an earthed (grounded)
supply or outlet. Additionally, an earthing stud is provided on the chassis. It is good practice to
connect this independently to a suitable earth in fixed installations.
?When installing additional items, any recommendations made by the component
manufacturer/supplier must be complied with regarding earthing and the installation.
?The metal back plate of any expansion card must be securely screwed to the chassis of the computer
to ensure good metal-to-metal (i.e. earth) contact.
?All connector bodies must be securely connected to the enclosure.
?Most EMC problems are attributable to the external cabling. It is imperative that any external cabling
to the unit is totally screened, and that the screen of the cable connects to the metal end bracket of the
board or the enclosure and hence to earth. It is recommended that round, screened cables with a
braided wire screen be used in preference to those with a foil screen and drain wire. Use metal
connector shells that connect around the full circumference of the cable screen: they are far superior
to those that earth the screen by a simple “pig-tail” connection. This method attempts to extend the
enclosure around the connecting cables, thereby trying to surround the whole of the internal
equipment and external cabling.
?The keyboard and mouse will play an important part in the compatibility of the processor card since
they are ports into the board. Similarly, they will affect the compatibility of the complete system.
Fully compatible peripherals must be used otherwise the complete system could be degraded. They
may radiate or behave as if keys/buttons are pressed when subject to interference. Under these
circumstances it may be beneficial to add a ferrite clamp on the leads as close as possible to the
connector.
?USB cables must be high quality screened types suitable for USB 2.0, and peripherals must be
approved to equivalent EMC standards.
?Where possible ensure that the screens of any external cables are also bonded to a good RF earth at
the remote end of the cable.
Failure to observe these recommendations may invalidate the EMC compliance.

QUICK START GUIDE
First ensure that you are familiar with the contents of the section "Precautions". It contains important
information to avoid damage to the unit.
The unit may be used freestanding, but it is recommended that it be securely mounted to avoid accidental
damage. The actual mounting details will vary depending upon the application.
There are four M3 tapped holes on each end of the chassis for mounting brackets, etc. Alternatively there are
four M3 tapped holes on the underside of the chassis for direct mounting. Do not use screws longer than those
supplied to mount the unit, otherwise internal damage may result. If alternative screws are used, please ensure
that they do not enter the chassis by more than 5mm, otherwise internal damage may result.
Particular mounting arrangements exist for NEC plasma displays (these are detailed in the section
"Installation"). Others will be available.
If the unit is to be used freestanding fit the adhesive synthetic rubber feet to the base. These will prevent the
unit slipping on a smooth surface.
Connect the display to the VGA connector, and connect any other signals, e.g. LAN. Connect a PS/2 mouse
and keyboard to the unit.
Connect the power lead to a suitable AC power source. It is recommended that the supply be fused at 5A.
Press the 'Power On' button and check that the unit boots up.
If your system was not supplied with an operating system pre-installed, load an operating system and drivers.
The section "Software Configuration" contains details for the common operating systems.

INSTALLATION
Mounting
The unit may be mounted in any orientation, but care must be taken to ensure easy access to any removable
media drive (e.g. DVD or CD-ROM drive). This includes the installation of cables.
It is imperative that the areas around the cooling fan inlets and the venting holes are not obscured. Because of
the small size of the fans, a cable passing in front of the fan inlet could present a significant obstruction to the
airflow. Any restriction will lower the maximum ambient temperature at which the unit will operate. Always
use the fixing screws provided. Using longer screws could cause internal damage.
The chassis is fitted with a number of M3 tapped holes to facilitate mounting. On the underside there is one
hole at each corner. There are a total of four on each end. These may be used in pairs to fix a bracket in two
possible positions on each end. M3 x 6 screws are provided with the unit. If using screws other than those
supplied, please ensure that the screws do not enter the chassis by more than 5mm, otherwise internal damage
may occur.
Specific mounting brackets are available for some types of plasma displays.
NEC Plasma Display Panels
Fixing kits are available comprising two brackets and fixing screws suitable for models 42PD3 and
42VP4D.
