Quick Start 

The following sections explain how to install your Vario L3 Computer. 
First  ensure  that  you  are  familiar  with  the  contents  of  the  section  "Precautions".  It  contains  important 
information to avoid damage to the board. 

The  unit  may  be  used  free-standing,  but  it  is  recommended  that  it  be  securely  mounted  to  avoid  accidental 
damage. The actual mounting details will vary depending upon the application. 
 
There are four M3 tapped holes on each end of the chassis for mounting brackets, etc. Do not use screws longer 
than  those  supplied  to  mount  the  unit,  otherwise  internal  damage  may  result.  If  alternative  screws  are  used, 
please ensure that they do not enter the chassis by more than 5mm, otherwise internal damage may result. 
 
If  you  did  not  purchase  mounting  brackets  but  find  that  you  actually  need  them,  then  contact 

PlasmaPC@bluechiptechnology.co.uk

 

with details of the particular mounting arrangement you require 

to see if something suitable already exists. 
 
If the  unit is to be used free-standing  fit the adhesive synthetic rubber feet to the base. These  will prevent the 
unit slipping on a smooth surface. 
 
Connect the display to the VGA, DVI or HDMI connector, and connect any other signals, e.g. LAN. Connect 
the power lead to a suitable AC power source. It is recommended that the supply be fused at 5A. [Please note 
that the Vario L3 does not support Dual Digital operation] 
 
Press the 'Power On' button and check that the unit boots up. 
 
If  your system  was  not supplied  with an operating  system  pre-installed, load an operating system and drivers. 
The section "Software Configuration" contains details for the common operating systems. 
 
Set up the required video display parameters. 
 
The system is now ready to have the applications software loaded.
