ther device will work. The touchscreen must be reconfigured for use on
COM2 for the AUX port to be functional.
Video Port The video port is a 15-pin D-sub VGA connector at the side of the unit.
This connector supports any standard VGA connection. The video port is
disabled when shipped. This port is active if an LCD flat panel is not con-
nected. A jumper can be used to switch between the VGA port and the
LCD. To use both a video display on the video port and the flat panel dis-
play, you must enable “Simultaneous Video” (only available on the TFT
version) on the Advanced Menu in the BIOS setup menus. Refer to the
CPU manual for details.
CD Drive (Optional) There is a 5¼-inch drive-bay knockout for a CD drive.
Caution: If you have a CD-ROM installed, use of controls, adjust-
ments, or the performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Floppy Drive The 3.5-inch internal floppy drive is on the I/O side. The systems have a
front mounted external floppy drive option and a front mounted
floppy/keyboard access option. Do not order the unit with an internal floppy
drive if you want to use these options.

Feature Description
Power Receptacle The AC power receptacle is a three-pin connector on the left side of
the unit; the DC power supply uses a terminal block.
Monitor Auxiliary Power Outlet The outlet is intended for use only in testing situations, outside haz-
ardous locations, and is covered by a retainer bracket for safety rea-
sons. Note: A flat panel display and a CRT cannot be used simulta-
neously on a display. Simultaneous video is only available on TFT
systems with the “Simultaneous Video” utility program, or configured
in the BIOS setup menus..
Retainer Bracket (AC) or P-
Clamp (DC) With an AC power supply, this bracket can be screwed into the two studs, as shown in 3-21, to retain the power connector and to cover
the Monitor Auxiliary outlet. If an optional DC power supply is installed,
use the P-Clamp to provide power cord strain relief.
Warning: Absence of this bracket may result in a disengaged
power connector. If this occurs, an explosion may result in a
hazardous environment.

components. The filter is replaceable and can be removed for cleaning.
Exhaust Fan The exhaust fan is a cooling system component.
