OVERVIEW
The Logic Controls LC8000 provides unparalleled reliability by being a fanless unit with no
moving mechanical parts. It is an ideal computer for use in harsh environments with high levels
of dust or oil when fan noise is not desirable. For mass storage, compact flash memory provides
true no-moving-part operation. In addition, all components and connectors reside on one PC
board, thus no internal cables (sources of common loose connections) are required. The
computer is housed in a rugged die cast case for extra protection. The LC8000 has a very
compact form factor - only 2”H x 8”W x 6”L. Two mounting brackets enable these units to be
mounted almost anywhere – on a wall, ceiling, table top or under a counter.
The LC-8000 uses Intel-compatible, Pentium-class processors, so it can run Windows and
Linux-based applications. Whether your application runs on Windows XP, Windows XP
embedded, Windows 2000, Windows CE or any flavor of Linux, your operating system needs
are supported by the LC8000. This enables the unit to be used in a wide variety of applications
– in a restaurant’s kitchen system, in a POS workstation, in an auto ID workstation, etc. The
LC8000 also provides a very impressive compliment of up-to-date I/O ports – Ethernet, parallel,
PS/2 and multiple USB 2.0, RS232, and SVGA ports are all included.

•Is the system main power switch on?
•Is the power outlet burned out? You may check this by plugging in and turning on
another piece of equipment.
•Are any cables damaged? Are they properly routed and coiled? Entwined cables may
cause signal interference.

BOOTING FROM INTERNAL/EXTERNAL DEVICES
Depending on the configuration of your LC8000 whether it is equipped with either an internal
hard-drive or compact flash card or both, the BIOS will be pre-programmed to boot from that
particular device. If you need to boot from an external device or if you have upgraded your
compact flash card or hard-drive you will need to change settings in the BIOS. The following
steps show how to change the boot sequence within the BIOS.
1. Turn on or reboot your system. After a series of diagnostic checks, the following
message will appear:
PRESS <Del> TO RUN SETUP
2. Press the <Del> key and the BIOS setup main screen will appear as follows.
