Installation Guidelines

General:

This section provides general information needed to install the DP027010. The general guidelines

provided include information pertinent to grounding, mounting, and minimum clearances.

This computer system contains static sensitive devices. Proper static device handling procedures must be

followed.

There are no user-serviceable parts in this computer system. Opening or disassembly of the computer

enclosure by persons not certified by CDI will void the warranty.

Installation Sequence Overview:

Remove computer from shipping carton, retain carton if desired.

Remove protective plastic from computer

Remove and store the Windows installation CD and installation key.

Perform a visual inspection for damage.

Install bracket, ensure required clearances are maintained

Install chassis ground strap

Install power and Ethernet cables

Adequate airflow around the exterior of the unit is important to the interior temperature of the unit. Fans

are used to create airflow through the military computer ensuring that a correct working temperature is

maintained. One of the fans is located on top of the CPU chip and is used to cool the processor. Another

fan is built into the power supply housing and blows air out of the unit. Another fan is located on the rear

chassis cover and blows air out of the cabinet.

Grounding:

This computer system is equipped with a three-wire power cable. When connected to an appropriate AC

power receptacle, this cable grounds the computer chassis. (Signal grounds are isolated from chassis

ground). The AC line plug shall be inserted only in a receptacle provided with a protective earth contact. A

ground stud is provided for optimum grounding, and is required for shipboard installation. Use 12 AWG

stranded wire or larger, a grounding strap (or braid) is highly recommended. The computer chassis

ground stud is ¼ inch diameter, use an appropriate size terminal lug and lockwasher.

Bulkhead Mounting:

This computer system is designed for bulkhead mounting by way of a bracket provided for use with this

computer. Mounting brackets are available in two styles: Pivot and non-pivot. Although each bracket has

the same mounting bolt pattern, the Pivot style bracket requires greater clearance in the front. Refer to

Figures 1 through 5 for mounting bolt patterns and sizes for each bracket. During installation the bracket

is mounted first, then the computer is mounted to the bracket. The bracket is designed to mount with four

3/8”x16 SAE grade 8 bolts, including washer and lock washer. The bolts are tightened to 35 ft/lbs. The

bracket should be mounted flat and level. See Figure 3 for mounting of computer system to the

appropriate bracket.

Once the bracket is mounted, the computer is mounted to the bracket. Use the four provided allen

screws, and combine with a washer and lock washer (not included). Two people are required to mount

Page 9

MPAC-18 Manual

the computer, the computer is held level while the allen screws are installed through the bracket. Tighten

the allen screws to 20-25 ft/lbs.

Clearances:

Airflow: Inlets and outlets must have at least 1 inch (25mm) around them and not be obstructed for

adequate airflow to maintain the correct working temperature. In a military environment, the panel into

which the unit is mounted should provide protection from dust.

Cabling: All input/output (I/O) connections are via bottom access. At least 8 inches (20cm) of

unobstructed space is required at the bottom of the computer for unrestricted cable connection. See

figures 9 and 10 for bottom connector panel layout.

Brackets: See figures 3 and 4 for proper clearances for each bracket assembly. An access area of

approximately 4 inches (10 cm) to the sides is required in the area of the allen screws that mount the

computer to the bracket.

Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

This section 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 DP027010 military 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 boot-up 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.

Page 24

MPAC-18 Manual

Maintenance

Cleaning: The touch screen should only be cleaned with Chemtronics (part # ES 1668) cleaner and a

soft lint free cloth. The touch screen should be moistened with the cleaner, avoid rubbing the touch

screen with a dry cloth. The touch screen can easily be scratched, it is very important to not to use

Figure 7. Pin configuration

The SBC-PIII provides an industry standard RJ-45 connector for 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s operation. It

supports N-way auto-negotiation, full duplex flow control in compliance with IEEE 802.3x. It uses PCI

bus master data transfers with programmable PCI burst size. Includes 16K boot ROM, interface to 9346

(64 x 16-bit EEPROM) for storage of resource configuration and ID parameters and large independent Rx

and Tx FIFOs.

Three levels of power down modes: sleep, power-down with internal clock running, and power-down with

internal clock halted. Digital and Analog loopback capability. Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables

connect the SBC-PIII to other computers, hubs and bulkhead connectors. SBC-PIII supports most

popular Ethernet networks. The Ethernet Controller option used on SBC-PIII is a “Plug and Play” device

and resources can be set by program control. The exact resource utilization varies with system

configuration. The Ethernet controller will “seek” available resources. In addition, the Ethernet Controller

can be disabled through user settings in the BIOS Setup and in the Windows™ Control Panel | System |

Device Manager.

The Advanced Power Management feature minimizes power usage in Normal operation, Standby (Sleep)

modes and Panel-Off Power-Saving Mode. Offers Flexible On-chip Activity Timer facilitating ordered

shutdown of the display system. VESA Standards supported in Panel-Off Power-Saving Mode.

VIDEO INTERFACE

The SBC-PIII design is a highly integrated design Flat Panel and CRT GUI Accelerator, with Multimedia

Engine, Palette/DAC, and Clock Synthesizer. Includes hardware Acceleration, optimized for Windows™

BitBLT format, 64-bit Graphics Engine, System-to-Screen and Screen-to-Screen BitBLT. Video

Acceleration with source and destination Transparent BLT, instant Full Screen Page Flip and read back of

CRT Scan line counters. Advanced Power Management feature minimizes power usage with VESA

Standards supported.
