Powerup and Software Installation
This chapter contains information you need to set up your Panel C industrial computer’s
operating system and network communications.
Setup
Before you attempt to power up the system for the first time, inspect the unit for loose or
damaged components. Remove the top cover and make sure there are no loose or
damaged assemblies. Applying power to a system with damaged components may cause
additional damage.
Initial Startup Procedure
Warning
Installation of the Panel C industrial computer in hazardous
locations requires the use of a cable mounting clamp with the power
connector.
Caution
Do not connect or disconnect external devices, such as a printer,
keyboard or a mouse while the unit is powered on. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in damage to the equipment.
1. Plug the power cable into the unit’s power connector and connect to the power
source.
2. Plug in the serial/parallel data transfer cables and screw the plugs to the connectors.
3. Power up the unit and check whether any concealed damage has been caused by
incorrect transportation, incorrect operating/storage conditions or incorrect handling
(e.g. smoke coming out of the unit, etc.). If you notice any damage, remove power
from the unit immediately and secure it against unintentional use.
During power up, the processor runs its normal diagnostic checks and indicates the
presence of any errors with screen prompts .
