Installation and Handling Notes

Before installing or mounting the MPC-2000 series panel computer, read the following notes:

1. The MPC-2000 series is designed for mounting on a desktop, wall, or an FDMI/VESA interface. Refer to

the illustrations in the related sections for detailed instructions.

2. To prolong product lifespan, good ventilation must be maintained around the machinery. The chassis’

heat-sink area MUST be kept clear from other heat generating items; otherwise, damage to the system

motherboard may occur. The minimal distance that must be maintained between the heat sink and another

heat source is 150 mm.

3. Do NOT install the unit horizontally (for example, lying down on its back), as heat cannot be dissipated

effectively and may cause damage to the LCD panel. To ensure adequate heat dissipation, install the unit

vertically or within a ±40 degrees slope off the vertical.

4. Exposure to extreme direct sunlight may cause a considerable increase in the temperature of the unit, and

under certain circumstances might lead to overheating. Take this into consideration when bridge equipment

is being planned (for example, sun shades, distance from the windows, and ventilation.)

5. Exposure to strong vibration or loud, chronic noise might affect functionality and/or product lifespan. It is

advised to take vibration and noise into consideration during system assembly and installation, so that the

mount point may be carefully selected to avoid exposure to undue vibration.

6. For maximum safety, at least two persons should work together to lift, place, and fasten the computer at its

mount point. Before you lift or move the computer, make sure that the system is turned off and no power

is being supplied to the system. In addition, make sure that you have prepared the correct screws for

mounting.
