Safety Guidelines
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring to property damage only have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
Danger
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
Warning
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
Caution
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
Caution
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
Notice
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into
account.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.

stipulation is ignored.
Avoid extreme environmental operating conditions. Protect your device against dust,
moisture and heat. For additional information, refer to the specifications.
Do not place the device in direct sunlight.
Transport
Unpack the device at the its installation location. Transport the device only in the original
packaging. Do not transport the device when it is mounted.
Notice
Adhere to these stipulations each time the device is transported, otherwise the guarantee is
void.
Caution
Condensation
When transporting the device in low temperatures, ensure that no moisture gets on or in the
device. This also applies if the device is subjected to extreme changes in temperature.
Commissioning
Allow the device to slowly adjust to room temperature before commissioning the device. Do
no place the device near heat radiation. If moisture condensation occurs, wait at least about
12 hours before you switch on the device.
Vibration
CD/DVD drives are sensitive to vibration. Prohibited vibration during operation may result in
loss of data or damage to the drive or data medium.
Before transporting the device, wait at least 20 seconds to allow the drive to stop completely.

Sources of light
Notice
Position the screen so that it is not subject to direct sunlight or other strong sources of light.
Faulty pixels in the display
At present, the manufacturing process of modern displays does not guarantee that all pixels
of the display will be perfect. A small number of faulty pixels in the display, is therefore
unavoidable. This does not present a functional problem as long as the faulty pixels are not
bunched in one location.
Refer to the "Technical Specifications" chapter for more information.
TFT-LC display
A permanent picture with bright images can lead to a burn-in effect on the TFT LCD.
If a screen saver is activated, please observe the following:
• The liquid crystals in screen savers which actuate active black when the backlighting is
on, e.g. flying stars "starfield simulation," renew themselves. Pay attention to the length of
time the backlighting is activated.
• The following applies to screen savers which turn off the the backlighting: Each time the
backlighting is turned on, its life is reduced by 50 minutes.
Consider the following carefully:
• Screen saver
• Switch off the backlighting regularly
• Permanent display of the customer application

3.1 3.1 Overview
Introduction
This section describes the first steps after unpackaging, the permitted mounting positions
and the fixation. This section describes the necessary considerations for EMC.
Field of application
The Panel PC is an industry-standard PC platform for demanding tasks in the field of PC-
based automation. The Panel PC is designed for on-site use on the machine, installed for
example in:
• Switchgear cabinets
• Swivel arms (booms)
• In consoles
Note
In the following, the term "switchgear cabinet" also refers to rack, mounting rack,
switchboard, operator panel and console. The term "device" represents the Panel PC and
its variants.
3.2 3.2 Unpacking and checking the delivery unit
Procedure
1. Please check the packaging material for transport damage upon delivery.
2. If any transport damage is present at the time of delivery, lodge a complaint at the
shipping company in charge. Have the shipper confirm the transport damage
immediately.
3. Unpack the device.
Caution
Do not lie the device on its back. This will avoid any damage to an optical drive which
may be present. Lie the front side on a soft surface to avoid damaging the front panel
USB port.

3-2 Operating Instructions, Edition 04/2005, A5E00407724-01
4. Keep the packaging material in case you have to transport the unit again.
Notice
The packaging protects the device during transport and storage. Therefore, never
dispose of the original packaging material!
5. Please keep the enclosed documentation in a safe place. You will need the
documentation when you start up the device for the first time.
6. Check the package contents for completeness and any visible transport damage. Check
for completeness using the enclosed "Contents of Delivery" list.
7. Notify the delivery service in charge immediately if the packages contents are incomplete
or damaged.
Warning
Make sure that a damaged device is not installed nor put into operation.
8. Note the identification information as described in the "QuickStart" document.
3.3 3.3 Make note of identification data
Procedure
1. Write down the Microsoft Windows Product Key of the Certificate of Authenticity COA in
the table at the end of this section. The product key is located on the power supply cover
of the computer unit. You will need the product key during the reinstallation of the
operating system.
2. Write down the manufacturer's number SVP and the order number of the computer unit,
e.g. "6AV..." in the table. If repairs are necessary, the device can be identified by the
service center on the basis of the SVP number and order number.
Both numbers are located on the rating label of the computer unit at the top of the
ventilator side.
