PANEL MOUNTING
Follow the steps below to panel mount the PC2300:
1. Cut out a section of the panel that corresponds to the cut out dimensions shown on
the corresponding dimensional drawing
2. Place the PC2300 through the panel cut out so that the gasket surrounding the PC
screen is flush against the panel surface.
3. Insert the mounting clips into the slots provided around the perimeter of the rear of the
display.
4. Tighten the mounting clips in an even pattern until the PC is firmly held in place. The
screws should be tight enough to slightly deform the gasket. Do not overtighten.
Recommended torque: 3.5 in/lbs.

PC2300 Operations Manual 14
PC2300 Operations Manual ___ 14
VESA MOUNTING
Select any compatible VESA mounting system and install according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. The selected mounting system should be capable of supporting the net weight of the
PC2300 as listed in the specifications above.
Mounting points on the rear of the unit are compatible with the Video Electronics Standards
Association (VESA) Mounting Interface Standard (MIS) Part D. The mounting holes are arranged in a
100mm square pattern with M4 threads.

PC2300 Operations Manual ___ 15
TOUCH SCREEN CALIBRATION
The PC2300 is shipped with a factory touchscreen calibration and should work out of the box. A
calibration tool is preloaded in the event that there is a problem with the factory calibration or the
touchscreen needs recalibration. If the calibration of the touchscreen is inaccurate to the point where
the touchscreen is not usable, a USB mouse can be used to access the calibration tool as described
below.
Use the following steps to calibrate the touchscreen:
1. Launch the eGalaxTouch utility by clicking on the desktop icon or through the start
menu:
All programs > eGalaxTouch > Configure Utility
2. Select the tools tab and press the 4 Points Calibration button.
3. Follow the instructions in the calibration window to complete the touchscreen
calibration.
PCI CARD AND HDD / SSD INSTALLATION
This section describes how to remove the PC sub-assembly of the Panel PC from the display
assembly in order to access the hard drive and PCI express slot. The PC2300 will ship with a hard
drive installed and may be ordered with a PCI or PCIe riser card pre-installed so this section is not
required for a standard installation. However, these steps are necessary to replace a Hard Drive,
install a secondary Hard Drive, or to install a PCI or PCIe riser card.
REMOVE THE PC SUB-ASSEMBLY
1. Remove the four screws that secure the PC sub-assembly to the display assembly.

PC2300 Operations Manual 16
PC2300 Operations Manual ___ 16
2. Carefully lift the PC sub-assembly and gently rotate it towards the top of the display assembly
as shown below. Disconnect the two cables connecting the PC sub-assembly to the display
assembly only if necessary.
Note: the connectors are keyed to insure the correct orientation when re-connecting.

PC2300 Operations Manual ___ 17
INSTALL PCI / PCIe CARD
1. Remove the CPU assembly from the display assembly as described above.
2. Remove the PCI mounting bracket
3. Break out the metal I/O plate cover from the mounting bracket.
4. Insert the PCI or PCIe card into the mounting bracket.
5. Secure the PCI or PCIe card onto the mounting bracket.

4. If installing an additional hard drive connect the provided SATA/SATA Power
connector to the connectors on the PC motherboard.
5. Replace or insert the additional HDD / SSD in the drive tray as needed, using the
provided mounting screws.
6. Re-assemble the system:
a. Attach the drive tray to the PC sub-assembly
b. Insert the SATA connectors into the newly installed HDD / SSD.
c. Attach the cables connecting the PC sub-assembly to the display assembly
d. Position the PC sub-assembly on the display assembly and secure with the
mounting screws.
