Turning the system On and Off
Before connecting the Panel Mount PC to power, connect any peripheral devices. As a general
rule, any peripheral device should only be connected or disconnected when the Panel Mount PC
is off with the exception of any USB or 1394 peripheral.
The Panel Mount PC is turned on using the main On-Off rocket switch located on the bottom
rear panel. Once the Panel Mount PC main switch is turned on the computer power pushbutton
switch must be depressed for Windows to start. Windows must be properly shut down before
the main power switch is turned off to prevent the chance of corrupting files in the operating
system.
The Panel Mount PC is rated for continuous duty. However, to extend the life of the various
components and conserve power, it is highly recommended that the system be properly shut
down and power turned off when the Panel Mount PC is not in use.
