2.1.1 Installing the Drivers
After installing your system software, you will be able to set up the Ethernet, VGA, and touchscreen functions. All drivers are stored in a CDROM disc entitled "TPC-1051WP, TPC-1551WP" which can be found in your accessory box.
The various drivers in the CD-ROM disc have their own text files which help users install the drivers and understand their functions. These files are a very useful supplement to the information in this manual.
Note!

The drivers and utilities used for the TPC-1051WP, TPC-1551WP panel PCs are subject to change without notice. If in doubt, check Advantech's website or contact our application engineers for the latest information regarding drivers and utilities.
2.2 Transport and Unpacking
When accepting a delivery, please check the packaging for visible transport damage and check the delivery for completeness by comparing it with your order. If you notice any shipping damage or inconsistencies between the contents and your order, please inform the responsible delivery service immediately.
During transport, the TPC should be protected from excessive mechanical stress. If the TPC is transported or stored without packaging, shocks, vibrations, pressure and moisture may impact the unprotected unit. A damaged packaging indicates that ambient conditions have already had a massive impact on the device. Therefore, please use the original packaging during transportation and storage.
If the TPC is transported in cold weather or is exposed to extreme variations in temperature, make sure that moisture (condensation) does not build up on or inside the HMI device. Moisture can result in short-circuits in electrical circuits and damage the device. To avoid that, please store the TPC in a dry place and bring the TPC to room temperature before starting it up. If condensation occurs, a delay time of approximately 12 hours must be allowed to make sure the TPC is completely dry before the TPC is switched on.
2.3 Panel Mounting
- Position the TPC against the panel.

Please follow the following steps to setup TPC-xx51WP series, and please pay attention that Ground pin of TPC-xx51WP series should be connected to earth ground. Under this circumstance, TPC-xx51WP series could have the best performance such as EMI immunity, ESD immunity, Surge immunity and also system isolation. If TPC-xx51WP series is embedded in the cabinet, TPC-xx51WP series's ground, cabinet's ground and earth ground should all be connected together.
- Embed TPC-xx51WP series into the cabinet.

Step A: Connect the cabinet to earth ground.
Step B: Embed null TPC-xx51WP series into the cabinet without any I/O cable and power.
- System wiring

Step A: Connect the cabinet to earth ground.
Step B: Ensure that all cabinet has been grounded together.
Step C: Connect the ground of the power supply to the cabinet.
Step D: Connect the ground pin of TPC-xx51WP series to the cabinet.
Step E: Connect the I/O to the controller if needed.
Step F: Connect the V+ and V- of power supply to TPC-xx51WP series.
While completing step A to F step by step, you can supply power to TPC-xx51WP series now.
Note! Make sure all wires follow the installation guidelines or it may cause issues.

Note! If you install a USB device or Mini PCIe card on the TPC-xx51WP

series, please double check the voltage between V- and earth ground, if the voltage is not almost equal with each other, we suggest to short V- and earth ground with wiring.
2.5 Power/Digital Ground and Earth Ground
The purpose is to block all the external interference on the chassis, and prevent any possibility of bad grounding design to cause electric shock of people. This is so called level 1 isolation which consumer PC do not implement this kind of design.
■ TPC Chassis and Earth (Power pin3) are short,
■ TPC Chassis and Power / Digital GND are OPEN

The TPC is and industrial grade product, designed to prevent external interference and the possibility of electric shock. To complete the isolation design, we need to consider the following:
The Ethernet is isolated, a LAN connection will not impact the isolation design.
For general USB devices, to solve EMI and ESD issues, they are designed as a chassis and digital short. But the TPC prevents damage to USB devices, ESD and EMI solutions are designed to use the Power GND as a vent path to ensure Power GND and Chassis GND will not have potential difference abnormalities.
For COM ports, since there are different COM port designs, long distance connection cause voltage level difference between the two COM port chassis. So the shell ground of cable must be isolated to signal digital ground
In real cases, many customers may break the level 1 isolation by 3rd party Device or cable design, in this situation, we need to consider making all the GND short (Power GND/Digital GND/Earth GND), and ensure customers have good Earth GND connection.

Features in Windows Embedded
3.1 Features in Windows Embedded
TPC product supports the embedded Windows platform. This section outlines the important features (EWF, FBWF and HORM), that are provided in WES7, and UWF provided in Win EMB 8.1 Industry Pro.
3.2 Enhanced Write Filter (EWF)
Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) and File-Based Write Filter (FBWF) redirect all writes targeted at protected volumes to a RAM or disk cache, called an overlay. The overlay stores changes made to the operating system, but is removed when the device is restarted, restoring the device to its original state. Note that there is no disk-based overlay support for Windows Embedded Standard 7.
EWF works at the sector level on protected disks and allows you to commit changes so that they persist when the device is restarted. EWF is useful for thin clients that do not need to store cached information or receive frequent updates. Changes made to a system protected by EWF are stored in one or more layers that represent snapshots in time. Applying changes to an image applies all changes made to the operating system during a specific period of time.
Advantech provide utility to operate EWF. Refer below steps if you want to enable.
- Click Start Menu->All Programs->Advantech->AdvWF and click EWF Utility

- Click EWF tab, and click "Enable" button

- After the system is rebooted automatically, EWF enable
3.3 File-Based Write Filter (FBWF)
File-Based Write Filter (FBWF) works at the file level instead of the sector level on protected disks. By default, FBWF protects the whole disk, but selective write through exceptions can be granted to specific files and folders. Writes to folders with write-through exceptions will be persisted when the device restarts.
Advantech provide utility to operate FBWF. Refer below steps if you want to enable
- Click Start Menu->All Programs->Advantech->AdvWF and click FBWF Utility

- Move volume you want to protect from "Available Volume" to "Protected Volume" and choose "Write-Through Files and Folders"

- Click "Apply", and the system is rebooted automatically. Then FBWF enable.
3.4 HORM
HORM stands for Hibernate Once Resume Many. In HORM environment, a single hibernation file is used to boot the system repeatedly. To set a HORM environment, please follow the steps below.
- Make sure EWF is disabled. You can run OSUnLock to disable EWF.
- Enable hibernation support: Open the command prompt and type "powercfg -h on"
- Run "power options" in control panel, and then select "Enable Hibernation" in hibernation pane.
Enable EWF:
- Run OSLock, and then system reboot automatically.
- Open those software that customers want to directly use after system resume from hibernation.
-
Hibernate via Advantech HORM utility:
-
Click Start Menu->All Programs->Advantech->AdvWF
-
Select "Enable Hibernation" in "Power Options".
-
Open AdvWF and enable EWF
-
After the system is rebooted automatically, open AdvWF and click EWF Utility.
-
Click HORM tab, and click "HORM" button.

AMI's BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This information is stored in flash ROM so it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.
C.1 Entering Setup
Turn on the computer and check for the patch code. If there is a number assigned to the patch code, it means that the BIOS supports your CPU. If there is no number assigned to the patch code, please contact an Advantech application engineer to obtain an up-to-date patch code file. This will ensure that your CPU's system status is valid. After ensuring that you have a number assigned to the patch code, press and you will immediately be allowed to enter Setup.
C.1.1 Main Setup
When you first enter the BIOS Setup Utility, users will enter the Main setup screen. Users can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab. There are two Main Setup options. They are described in this section. The Main BIOS Setup screen is shown below.
