Installation Guidelines  
AC Input Power  
The Panel C input power shall be connected to no greater than a 20 Amp branch  
circuit.  
To remove power from the unit, the proper method is to switch off power at the circuit  
breaker.  
Panel Mounting  
In an industrial environment, the panel into which the unit is mounted should provide  
protection from dust, dirt and water.  
The panel should be capable of supporting the weight (22.2lb/10.07kg) of the  
industrial computer without distortion to the panel. The mounting clips will support a  
panel thickness of up to 5mm (0.2 inch).  
All of the mounting clips must be fitted properly to achieve a seal between the  
industrial computer and the panel to which it is mounted.  
Inlets and outlets must have at least 25mm of space around them and not be  
obstructed.  
Adequate airflow around the exterior of the unit is important to the interior temperature  
of the unit. Fans are used to create air flow through the industrial computer ensuring  
that a correct working temperature is maintained. There are three fans in the unit. One  
of the fans is located on top of the CPU chip and is used to cool the processor. The  
second fan is built into the power supply housing and blows air out of the unit. The  
third fan is located on the rear of the chassis cover and pulls air into the unit.  
Cutting the Panel Cutout  
Cut an opening in the panel to the dimensions shown. The cut-out dimensions of 18.09"  
(460mm) x 12.88" (328mm) allow a 1.2mm clearance on each edge of the industrial  
computer front assembly. The unit requires a minimum of 178mm (7") depth when  
mounted.

Installing Panel Mounting Clips  
1. Position the Front Panel in the cut-out and fit the 10 retaining clips into the slots on the  
industrial computer. To produce a good seal, you must use all the clips.  
2. Screw in the tightening screws on each clip so that the clip is held snug. To ensure a  
seal between the computer front panel and the mounting panel, the clips must be  
tightened evenly. (Tighten each of the clips in turn, a little at a time.) Torque setting  
must be within 2.6 to 4.4 in-lbs (0.29 to 0.50 newton-meters).

Installing Expansion Cards  
The Panel C industrial computer provides multiple expansion slots.  
One PCI slot  
One Shared ISA/PCI slot  
Note: If your card is a Legacy ISA type, follow the instructions on page 3-6, then  
proceed with installation.  
All the expansion slots within the system allow the card to be clamped into place using  
standard PC card clamping.  
The top cover of the industrial computer must be removed in order to access the ISA and  
PCI bus cards. Two thumb screws are used to secure the panel cover to the unit.  
When the thumb screws are loosened, the back plate will slide upwards and can then be  
lifted clear of the main unit.  
Warning  
Do not connect or disconnect expansion cards or cables while circuit is alive  
unless area is known to be non-hazardous.  
Caution  
To avoid damage from electrostatic discharge, adhere to the following  
precautions when installing ISA and PCI cards:  
The card is packaged in a static-safe bag that protects the product during shipping.  
Before removing the card from this bag, be prepared to handle it in a static-safe  
environment.  
Wear a properly functioning antistatic strap and be sure that you are fully grounded.  
Never touch the card, or any components inside the computer, unless you are wearing  
an antistatic strap.  
Any surface upon which you place the unprotected card should be static-safe,  
facilitated by antistatic mats, if possible.  
Extra caution should be taken in cold, dry weather, when static charges can easily  
build up.  
Blanking Plates  
Blanking plates are fitted to each unused card position. These blanking plates can be  
removed as necessary in order to install new cards. Any empty slots must have a blanking  
plate fitted to maintain agency EMI approvals.

Configuring Expansion Cards (Legacy ISA Only)  
Caution  
For most applications an IRQ or address cannot be shared by more than one  
resource. If more than one resource is set to the same interrupt or address,  
the application may not respond properly and could cause your PC to lock  
up. Following these instructions when installing Legacy ISA cards will  
prevent problems with resource conflicts.  
Legacy ISA cards are the oldest standard and require memory, I/O, and IRQ settings to  
be manually set on the card using jumpers, DIP switches, or a configuration program. The  
card and system need to have the same hardware settings.  
1. Connect a keyboard, turn on the system power, and press F2 when prompted to enter  
the BIOS Setup program.  
2. Select Advanced, then PCI Configuration, and PCS/PNP ISA Resource Exclusion.  
3. If the card requires one or more interrupts, go to an IRQ that currently reads  
"Available" and change it to "Reserved" by pressing +/-. Do not use an IRQ that  
already reads "Reserved."  
4. If the card requires memory space, press the arrow key to return to the PCI  
Configuration screen. Select PCI/PNP ISA UMB Region Exclusion. Go to a memory  
block that currently reads "Available" and change it to "Reserved" by pressing +/-. Do  
not use a memory block that already reads "Reserved."  
5. Press ESC to exit the configuration screen. In the Exit menu, select Exit Saving  
Changes and to save and exit Setup. When the screen goes blank, turn off the power.  
6. If the card has jumpers or DIP switches, set them so that they match the IRQ and  
memory addresses set in the BIOS Setup.  
7. Set the I/O port settings of the card (if any) so that they fall within the ranges labeled  
"Available" in the following table.  
8. If the card is set up using a configuration program, proceed with installation, run the  
card’s configuration program. Set the IRQ and memory address settings to be the  
same as those put into BIOS Setup. Set the I/O port settings (if any) to a range  
labeled "Available" in the following table.

The ground plate should be mounted near the unit. The cable clamp provides mechanical  
relief as well as electrical grounding. A typical installation is shown in Figure 4-6.  
The cable clamp attaches to the ground plate by sliding it into two adjacent slots at the  
selected location for the cable. The cable is inserted between the ground plate and the  
cable clamp after removing the required section of the cable’s outer cover. Tighten the  
cable clamp by turning the thumbscrew clockwise. Do not over-tighten the thumbscrew—  
hand-tighten or tighten lightly with a tool.  
Note: If you are installing the ground plate on a painted surface, the paint must be  
removed where the ground plate is to be mounted to ensure a good ground  
connection between the plate and mounting surface.

Control and Status LEDs  
The Panel C industrial computer includes five status LEDs, located in a vertical column  
above the arrow keys on the lower right-hand side of the unit. The five LEDs have the  
following functions, in order from top to bottom:

Indicates the Shift lock is enabled..  
HDD/Error  
This is a tri-color LED. Red indicates a BIOS detected error. Green is  
the normal IDE drive activity indicator. During an error the HDD/Error  
LED will be Amber.  
Power  
Indicates system power (lighted when power is applied).  
Compact  
Flash  
Indicates Compact Flash card is inserted.  
Touch Screen  
The Panel C includes a resistive overlay touch screen on the flat panel display.  
The touch screen has a resolution of 1024 x 1024 touch points (independent of screen  
size) and provides an efficient and reliable method of entering information. The screen  
responds to the touch of your finger with or without a glove.  
The touch screen is connected internally to the COM3 serial port. If you install a card that  
has settings that conflict with those of the COM3 serial port, you will need to change the  
card’s configuration.  
Touch Screen Driver for Windows  
The integral touch screen of the Panel C is internally connected to COM3. Parameters  
must be set within the driver so that they match the hardware settings. The factory default  
settings are:  
COM Port = 3  
Address = 3F8 Hex  
Interrupt = Com3 IRQ 9  
These parameters are written into the system registry file by the driver setup utility. The  
driver is installed, configured and calibrated at the time of manufacture.

Communications  
Your industrial computer has been configured with networking components that enable  
you to establish new networks or connect to existing networks easily. If you intend to use  
Microsoft NetBEUI, TCP/IP, or Direct Cable Connection, some minimal setup changes are  
required before you can use the system for network applications. In Windows operating  
systems, these settings are changed using the Network application in the Control Panel  
program group.

Diagnostics and Troubleshooting  
Chapter  
7
This chapter consists of “Self-Test Diagnostics,” “Troubleshooting,” and “Corrective  
Actions.” “Self-Test Diagnostics,” describes how to respond to errors that could be  
detected by the automatic self test that is performed each time the Panel C industrial  
computer powers up. “Troubleshooting” contains tables of symptoms, their possible  
causes, and recommended corrective actions. “Corrective Actions” contains detailed  
procedures that are too lengthy to include in the Troubleshooting tables.  
Self-Test Diagnostics  
The computer automatically performs self-test diagnostics each time it is powered up. The  
self-test consists of a series of checks that verify correct performance of the computer  
hardware. When the self-test is being performed, you will see the message XXXX KB OK  
displayed on the screen, where XXXX is a number that increases until it matches the  
amount of usable memory.  
System Test and Initialization  
These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines encounter an error during  
the tests, you will see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds of errors: fatal  
and non-fatal. If a non-fatal error occurs, the system can usually continue the boot up  
sequence. Non-fatal error messages usually appear on the screen with the following  
instruction:  
press <F1> to RESUME  
Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the bootup sequence.  
System Configuration Verification  
These routines check the current system configuration against the values stored in the  
CMOS memory. If they don’t match, the program will generate an error message. To  
correct this condition, you will need to run the BIOS setup program and correct the  
configuration information in memory.  
There are three situations in which you might need to change the CMOS settings:  
1. You are starting your system for the first time.  
2. You have changed the hardware attached to your system.  
3. The CMOS memory had lost power and the configuration information has been  
erased. If this has happened, call GE Fanuc’s Support Hotline at 1-800-800-433-2682.
