PE3M Small Form Factor PC User Guide - Overview

Page 7

Overview

The PE3M is a powerful slim-line Intel Pentium P4-based Personal Computer (PC) specifically designed to drive

large plasma and other large displays panels. The unit is self-contained requiring as a minimum, only a power

connection and a display. The applications are not limited to display applications: it may be used as a general

purpose PC.

The basic unit comprises a highly integrated computer board employing Intel’s latest 845G chipset that supports

Intel Pentium 4 processors up to 3GHz with 400 MHz and 533MHz front side bus (FSB). Memory options

allow up to 2GB of ultra fast PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM. Storage is provided by a single 2½-inch ATA-

100 hard disk drive.

The on-board Intel Extreme Graphics features Dynamic Video Technology and Zone Rendering Technology to

deliver unrivalled 2D and 3D 16:9 performance with a wide range of resolutions. Displays may be driven in

landscape or portrait modes. Options allow for the addition of an AGP graphics expansion card for specialist

applications. A single short 32-bit PCI (2.2) expansion card may be fitted to expand the range of applications.

Removable media options include a slim-line CD-ROM, CD-RW or DVD-ROM IDE drive. A removable

section facilitates fitting the expansion options.

The on-board audio system may be configured from simple stereo to a full 5.1 surround system. The addition of

a programmable hardware watchdog provides security against an application.

The unit is housed in a strong sheet-steel enclosure providing both mechanical and EMC protection. Fans draw

cooling air into the unit and direct it through the chassis to ensure a wide operating temperature range. The unit

may be mounted on the plasma display, or separately to suit the particular installation. Mounting kits are

available for specific plasma displays, wall or desktop.

All connectors are on the front face of the chassis. There are connectors for a PS/2 mouse and keyboard, a

standard analogue VGA display, two serial ports, a parallel port, two USB (2.0) ports, an Ethernet (10/100) LAN

port, and three audio connectors. The front face of the chassis also includes the AC power inlet connector. The

power supply unit is auto-ranging to cover most markets.

Indicators and controls are limited to a hard drive activity LED, a power on LED and a power standby

pushbutton switch. The LAN connector also includes LEDs indicating a connection and data rate. A recessed

reset switch is fitted but this is only accessible using a simple tool such as a paperclip or similar, to prevent

inadvertent operation.

The available models are:

?PE3M-HDxx Basic PC with hard drive, and without a removable-media drive.

?PE3M-DVxx PC fitted with hard drive and DVD-ROM drive.

?PE3M-CDxx PC fitted with hard drive and CD-ROM drive.

where the characters 'xx' denote the hard disk drive capacity in GBytes.

PE3M Small Form Factor PC User Guide - Precautions

Precautions

General Precautions

Before attempting any modification to, or internal adjustment of the PE3M PC, please read the following

sections carefully. Certain precautions are necessary when handling circuit boards and equipment

containing them. Failure to observe the precautions could result in being unable to operate the equipment,

damage to the product, or in extreme cases, personal injury. It is imperative that precautions are taken at all

stages to avoid electro-static discharges, which will damage boards. Boards fitted with an on-board lithium

battery must be handled carefully to avoid maltreatment of the battery that could create a hazard.

Under no circumstances should the power supply unit be disassembled. Dangerous voltages exist within the

power supply enclosure. Note that the IEC-320 AC supply connector is the AC supply disconnect device.

Mounting

The unit is supplied with M3 x 6 fixing screws to fix brackets to the ends of the chassis, or to fix directly to

the underside of the chassis. If alternative screws are used, please ensure that they do not enter the chassis

by more than 5 mm, otherwise internal damage may result.

PS/2 Devices

It is important that PS/2 devices (mouse and keyboard) are not connected or disconnected with the unit

powered on. Damage or data corruption may occur if this precaution is not observed.

Electro-Static Discharges

If you are going to open up the unit, it is important to realise that the devices on the cards within this unit

can be damaged by static electricity. Bear in mind that the damage caused by static electricity may vary

from total destruction to partial damage, which may not be immediately obvious. This could have an effect

on the product's reliability and warranty. Before opening the chassis, ensure that you take necessary static

precautions. Ideally you should work at an anti-static bench and wear an approved wrist strap or if that is

not possible, touch a suitable ground to discharge any static build up before touching the electronics. This

should be repeated if the handling continues for any length of time.

If it is necessary to remove a board or electronic assembly, place it into an anti-static bag. This will prevent

any static electricity build up damaging the board. Metallised bags are preferred. Do not use black anti-

static bags for any item containing a battery because these tend to be conductive and will discharge the

battery.

On-Board Battery

The processor board is fitted with a Lithium battery. Great care should be taken with this type of battery. If

the battery is mistreated in any way there is a very real possibility of fire, explosion, and personal harm.

Under NO circumstances should it be short-circuited, exposed to temperatures in excess of 100 ºC or burnt,

immersed in water, recharged or disassembled.

Expired batteries remain hazardous and must be disposed of in a safe manner, according to local regulations.

Le panneau de processeur est équipé d’une batterie de lithium. Le grand soin devrait être pris avec ce type

de batterie. Si la batterie est mistreated il y a de dans de toute façon un possibility très vrai du feu,

d’expolosion et de mal personnel. Dans au cunes circonstances il est sous peu circuité, exposé aux

températures au dessus de 100 degrés de centrigrade ou brûlé, immergé dans l’eau, rechargée ou

dissassambled.

Les batteries expirées restent dazaedous et doivent être reejetées d’une façon sûre, selon des règlements

locaux.
