REGULATORY INFORMATION
U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Requirements
The Planar Clean Screen II PC has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide rea-
sonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harm-
ful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
detected by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from the circuit to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Canadian Emissions Requirements
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital
apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of
Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n˙émet pas de bruits radioélectroniques dépassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe A prescrites dans le Réglement sur le brouil-
lage radioélectrique édicté par le ministére des Communications du Canada.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
Before You Begin
Installing and setting up your Clean Screen II PC is very straightforward. But before you get
started, there are some things you should know.
What’s in the box?
Each box will contain a Planar Clean Screen II head (that is, the integrated computer and LCD
display), three Torx drivers (sizes: T15, T20, T25), the external power supply, and the power
cord. Remove the equipment carefully and inspect for damage. Immediately notify the shipping
company if damage has occurred. Set aside the packing material for possible future use.
What’s in the IS Manager’s Kit?
This manual and several 3.5" diskettes with all the display drivers necessary to install your Clean
Screen II PC to various Microsoft operating systems. (If you ordered your Clean Screen II PC
with a preloaded OS, then the drivers will already be installed on the hard disk.) The IS
Manager’s Kit is sold separately from the Clean Screen II PC. If you need to purchase additional
kits, please call (503) 614-4100. Together, the Clean Screen II shipping box and the IS
Manager’s Kit contain everything you need for installation and setup.
What’s in this manual?
This manual is an advanced guide for installation and setup. It is intended for Information
Services Department professionals. We are not going to tell you things you already know about
PCs. We will cover what is unique about a Planar Clean Screen II and what you need to know to
successfully install and set them up. We encourage you to look through the entire manual before
you begin. Even if you don’t need all the information right now, it is good to know where it is
for later reference.
What if I’m missing something?
If something is missing from the box, please contact us at (503) 614-4100 or (800) 893-8885.
There are, however, several other items you may need. In this manual we will assume you
already have the IS Manager’s Kit, standard Planar mounting equipment for the Clean Screen II,
and a Planar 3.5" external floppy drive (for loading any necessary drivers). If you are missing
any of these, please check with your department. If necessary, you can contact us for more infor-
mation or to order these parts.

Chapter Five: BIOS Setup
The Setup program customizes the way the Clean Screen II PC uses the hardware features of its
BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). The Setup data is stored in CMOS and guides the computer
every time it is turned on. A special feature of the Clean Screen II PC is its ability to also store
the Setup information in flash memory, so Setup information can be recovered by the system
should the CMOS become corrupted. See the Exit menu section for details.
Entering the BIOS Setup Program
When you first boot up the Clean Screen II PC, there is a short-time window during which a
message is displayed telling you to Press F2 to enter Setup. Press and hold <F2> to enter Setup.
Setup Screens
The System BIOS Setup menus are the standard Phoenix NuBIOS 4.06 (with plug-and-play and
PCI support) screens with RadiSys extensions. A legend at the bottom of each screen provides
information for the user to manipulate setup options.
Use the up and down arrow keys to move the cursor from field to field, and the right and left
arrows to move from menu to menu. If the arrow keys are used to leave a menu and then return,
the active field is always at the beginning of the menu. Fields with a triangle to the left are
sub-menu headings; pressing <enter> when the cursor rests on one of these headings opens that
sub-menu. Within the sub-menu, most fields allow the user to flip through available choices by
pressing the <+> and <-> keys. Once the desired entry has been selected, use the up or down
arrow to move the cursor to the next field.
There are four menus: Main, Advanced, Power, and Exit. Note that item specific Help is pro-
vided whenever an item is selected. In this manual we will only detail the more important
sub-menus and choices.
Accessed from the Main screen, a Boot Delay option is added to the Boot Options screen and
allows the User to specify the boot delay in seconds. The Boot Delay is the only mechanism that
prevents a boot failure on slow devices.
The System BIOS also supports advanced features such as 32-bit disk I/O, Block and Fast
Programmed I/O, Ultra DMA/33, and the Intel/Microsoft INT13 disk extensions. These features
are automatically configured in the IDE setup menus if the System BIOS has determined
(through autotyping information) that the installed hard disk is capable of supporting them.

Autotype Fixed Disk
This option is used when setting up new disks. It allows Setup to determine the proper settings
of the disk for drives that comply with ANSI specifications. The ENTER key is used to invoke
this function.
Existing (formatted) disks must be set up using the same parameters that were originally used at
the time the disk was formatted. The specific cylinder, head, and sector information as listed on
the factory label must be manually entered on this screen using a User type described below.
Type
None is selected if there is no IDE hard disk drive for this adapter. In cases where there is an IDE
disk but the Autotype feature cannot be employed, then the User type is selected and the correct
drive values for cylinders, heads, sectors/track, and write precompensation are entered. For
MultiBoot II the selections for this field are: Auto, ATAPI Removable. IDE Removable, CD-
ROM, User, and None. The default is Auto.
Multi-Sector Transfers
This option allows the user to configure the System BIOS to read ahead by the specified num-
ber of sectors whenever a disk access is performed. This has the effect of reading more data at
once and reduces the absolute number of discrete disk reads performed by the operating system,
thus increasing system performance. The possible selections are Disabled, 2 sectors, 4 sectors,
8 sectors, or 16 sectors. Note that autotyping may change this value if the hard disk reports that
it support block accesses. The default is Disabled.
Chapter Five: BIOS Setup 19
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
LBA Mode Control
When enabled, this option allows the System BIOS to reference hard disk data as logical blocks
instead of using the traditional Cylinders/Heads/Sectors (CHS) method. This option can only be
used if both the hard disk being configured and the operating system support Logical Block
Addressing (LBA). If disabled, then CHS mode is used. Note that autotyping may change this
value if the hard disk reports that it supports LBA. The default is Disabled.
32-Bit I/O
This option allows the System BIOS to access the hard disk controller with 32-bit I/O accesses,
increasing system performance, This selection is not affected by autotyping. If the PCI IDE con-
troller in the chipset is being used, then this option should be set to Enabled to maximize system
performance. If an ISAbus IDE controller is installed in the system, then this option should be
set to Disabled. The default is Disabled.
Transfer Mode
This option selects the mode that the System BIOS uses to access the hard disk. The selections
are: Standard, Fast PIO 1, Fast PIO 2, Fast PIO 3, and Fast PIO 4.
Older hard disks only support Standard. Newer hard disks adhering to Fast ATA or Enhanced
IDE specifications may support the fast programmed I/O or DMA modes. Note that autotyping
may change this value depending on the transfer modes that the hard disk supports. The fast
DMA modes take full advantage of the onboard bus master hard disk controller and yields the
highest performance when used in conjunction with multitasking operating systems that support
it. The default is Standard.
Ultra DMA Mode
This option selects the Ultra DMA Mode that the System BIOS uses to access the hard disk. The
selections are: Disabled, Mode 0, Mode 1, and Mode 2. The default is Disabled.
USB Legacy Support
This option allows for USB support of non-USB supported operating systems. Enabling of this
option can cause system conflicts with operating systems that support USB. The default is
Disabled.

I/O Device Configuration Sub-Menu
This option is used to configure the I/O addresses, interrupts, and modes of certain configurable
I/O devices.
Installed OS Win 95
If Win 95, this option informs the System BIOS that the operating system that will be booted
supports plug-and-play. This forces the plug-and-play portion of the System BIOS to only con-
figure baseboard devices and those peripherals that are necessary for booting (display, hard disk,
etc.), the rest being left to the operating system to configure. The default is Win 95.
Reset Configuration Data
If enabled, this option clears the Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) block residing in
the FBD. This is necessary the first time a system is turned on or if the ESCD becomes corrupt-
ed. The default is No. This option is automatically reset to No after the ESCD is cleared.
Large Disk Access Mode
If you are using a hard disk larger than 528 MB and are running MS-DOS®, then set this selec-
tion to DOS. If you are using a different operating system, then set it to Other. When set to DOS,
the System BIOS will perform cylinder/head translation, if the drive is configured in Setup to
have more than 1024 cylinders. This allows access to hard disks up to 8 GB (1024C x 255H x
63S) in size without special drivers or LBA. The default is DOS.

Chapter Six: Care and Cleaning
Maintenance Tips
The Clean Screen II PC is a well designed unit that does not require any routine maintenance.
There are, however, a few tips we would like to pass along.
When installing and using the unit, make sure that nothing is blocking the vents. All circuitry
generates heat in normal operation and keeping the vents unblocked is essential for trouble-free
operation.
A combination of screen savers and power-saving routines will preserve the quality of the LCD
screen. Set a screen saver to come on after a few minutes of inactivity. Then use the hardware
BIOS Setup program (see Chapter Five) to turn off the display after a few more minutes. You
will save power and protect the display.
Cleaning Tips
The Clean Screen II PC was designed to take rough treatment in busy hospitals. In addition to
taking 50 g shocks, it also meets the tough UL2601 standard for safe operation. It can continue
to operate even while being cleaned in a normal fashion for a hospital environment, such as with
a saturated sponge or dampened, soft cloth. The UL2601 standard includes protection from stan-
dard cleaning chemicals and protection from liquids consistent with these cleaning procedures.
It has an IPX-1 rating per IEC529.
Approved cleaning solutions include:
Commercial or industrial grade general purpose cleaners (non-abrasive)
Isopropanol (70% isopropyl alcohol)
5% bleach solution (5% aqueous sodium hypochlorite)
1.6% aqueous ammonia
0.5% phenolic compounds
0.5% chlorhexidine in 70% isopropyl alcohol
Commercial or industrial grade glass cleaners
DO NOT USE acetone or acetone-based cleaners.
Although such cleaning should be perfectly safe, we nevertheless recommend cutting power to
the unit whenever possible before cleaning. Although the Clean Screen II and its power supply
meet UL2601 standards, your peripherals or wall socket may not.

In short, the Clean Screen II PC provides compact, rugged, and efficient PC support to medical,
industrial, and clean room applications.
LCD Support
The standard Clean Screen II display is a 15-inch, 1024 x 768, 36-bit TFT-AM LCD panel.
VGA/Flat Panel Graphics Controller
A Chips and Technologies video-accelerated 69000 controller with 2 MB embedded SDRAM
memory and 64-bit GUI is used to implement a high performance flat panel video interface.
Cardbus Interface
A Texas Instruments PCI1250A PCI-to-Cardbus Host Adapter chip supplies a Cardbus and PC
Card interfaces. The PCI120A is PCI 2.1, PC Card standard, and ACPI 1.0 compliant. The
PCI1250A Cardbus controller is also connected to IRQ3, IRQ4, IRQ5, IRQ7, IRQ11, IRQ12,
IRQ14, and IRQ15 for ISA legacy support.

External Serial Ports
A National Semiconductor PC87309VLJ Super I/O controller is used to implement the two
standard PC COM ports. These COM ports are compatible with the standard 16450 and 16550
architectures. They are labeled COM A and COM B and may be configured for any of the
following ports:
• COM1 (I/O address = 3F8-3FF, IRQ4) (COM A default)
• COM2 (I/O address = 2F8-2FF, IRQ3) (COM B default)
• COM3 (I/O address = 3E8-3EF, IRQ4)
The serial ports cannot share the interrupts with other devices.
USB Ports
A Universal Serial Bus (USB) controller is a host/hub controller and moves data between the
main system memory and devices on the serial bus. The USB controller also includes the first
level hub. This permits connection of two USB peripheral devices directly to the CPU chip set
without an external hub. The port signals are accessible on two stacked USB connectors. If more
external USB devices are required, an external hub can be connected to any one of these ports.
Floppy Disk Drive Port
The National Semiconductor PC87309VLJ super I/O controller provides a PC floppy disk port
that supports one floppy disk drive. The floppy interface is a MiniD 20. The port includes +12 V
and +5 V to power the disk drive, which will be current limited by Raychem Polyfuses to 1 A
max. The connector for this port is unique to the Clean Screen II, so a Planar-supplied drive with
custom cables should be used. Only pre-formatted diskettes should be used.
Optional Resistive Touch Screen Controller
Optional touch screen support is provided by an ELO TouchSystems E271-2210™ controller. If
your Clean Screen has a touch screen, please refer to the Read Me file included on the touch
screen driver disk. The E271-2210 controller board is mounted inside the display enclosure.
Power is sourced inside the display. See Appendix D for additional touch screen information.
Hot Keys
control – alt – F1 = brightness up.
control – alt – F2 = brightness down.
Keyboard Interface
An external 87C42 keyboard controller will provide on AT-style keyboard port and support hot
keys for adjusting the back-light inverter. The unit may be operated without a keyboard when
appropriate pointing devices are installed.

Appendix C: Troubleshooting
Anti-Virus Alert
Please note that you should run an anti-virus program whenever your system exhibits problems.
Although the cause of the problem may not be a virus, you could save considerable time and
effort if your system does turn out to be infected. Many virus programs display intermittent
symptoms that seem to be restricted to the hardware, the software, or the operating system. A
virus may also exhibit different symptoms at different times.
Troubleshooting Procedure
This section provides a step-by-step troubleshooting procedure to identify a problem and locate
its source.
Turn off the system and any peripheral devices before you disconnect
peripheral cables from the system. Otherwise you can permanently damage
the system or the peripheral devices.
1. Disconnect all external peripherals from the system, except for the keyboard.
2. Make sure the system is plugged into a properly grounded power outlet.
3. Make sure the keyboard is correctly connected to the system.
4. If the operating system normally loads from the hard disk drive, make sure there is no diskette
in the floppy drive. If the operating system normally loads from a floppy diskette, insert the oper-
ating system diskette into the drive.
5. Turn on the system. If the power indicator does not light, but the system seems to be operat-
ing normally, the indicator is probably defective.
6. Monitor the power-on self test (POST) execution on the display. Each time you turn on the
system, the POST checks the Clean Screen II, memory, keyboard, and certain peripheral devices.
Check the following during the POST:
a. If the POST does not detect any errors, the system beeps once and boots up.
b. Errors that do not prevent the boot process (non-fatal errors) display a message
that looks similar to the following:
Error Message Line 1
Error Message Line 2
Press <F1> to continue,
Press <F2> for Setup,
<Esc> to Boot
You can note the error and press <esc> to resume the boot-up process or <F2> to
enter Setup.
c. Errors that prevent the boot process from continuing (fatal errors) are communi-
cated by a series of audible beeps. If this type of error occurs, refer to the error
codes and messages listed at the end of this chapter.
7.
Confirm that the operating system has loaded.

Problems At Initial System Startup
Problems that occur at initial startup are usually caused by incorrect installation or configuration.
Hardware failure is a less frequent cause.
______ Are all cables correctly connected and secured?
______ Are the configuration settings correct in Setup?
______ Are all drivers properly installed?
______ Are you using the supplied power supply?
______ Are add-in boards and the disk drive installed correctly?
______ I s there a keyboard attached?
______ I s a bootable diskette installed in drive A?
______ I f the system has a hard disk, is it properly formatted or defined?
______ I s the memory module installed correctly? Try reseating the memory module.
______ I s the operating system properly loaded? See the operating system documentation.
Problems After the System Has Been Running Correctly
After the system hardware and software have been running correctly, new problems often indi-
cate equipment failure. Go through the checklist below to see if the situation is one that may be
easily corrected. If the problem recurs after you have checked and corrected all of these items,
refer to the troubleshooting procedures (see Troubleshooting Procedure in this chapter).
______ I f you are running the software from a diskette, try a new copy.
______ I f you are running the software from a hard disk, try running it from a diskette. If the
software runs correctly, there may be a problem with the copy on the hard disk.
Reinstall the software on the hard disk and try again. Make sure all the necessary files
are installed.
______ Tr y clearing CMOS RAM and running Setup.
______ I f the problems are intermittent, there may be a loose cable, dirt in the keyboard (if
keyboard input is incorrect), a marginal power supply, or other random component fail-
ures.
______ A transient voltage spike, power outage, or brownout may have occurred. Symptoms of
voltage spikes include a flickering video display, unexpected system reboots, and lack
of system response to user commands. Reload the software and try again.
______ Voltage spikes can occasionally cause the heads of the disk drive to contact the disk.
This can corrupt or destroy data files. If you are experiencing voltage spikes on the
power line, install a surge suppressor between the power outlet and the system power
cord.
______ Tr y reseating the memory module.

Problems Operating PC Cards
Problems related to PC cards are usually related to improper card installation or interrupt and
address conflicts. Go through the checklist below to see if you can correct the problem. If the
problem persists after you have checked and corrected all of these items, contact the card ven-
dor’s customer service representative.
______ Did you install the PC card according to the manufacturer’s instructions? Check the
documentation that came with the card.
______ I s there PC card service software loaded on the unit?
______ I s the PC card recognized? Is it supported by your card service software?
______ Has the PC driver been enabled?
______ Check IRQ configuration.
______ Check memory address range.
Problems with Ethernet
Problems related to Ethernet are usually due to incorrect configuration or bad cables. Go through
the checklist below to see if you can correct the problem.
______ Did you install the correct Ethernet adapter? If installing the on-board LAN, the correct
adapter is an Intel 8255x-based PCI Ethernet Adapter (10/100).
______ Check network configuration. Is the adapter working properly? Is the correct protocol
loaded? Has the correct IP address been specified?
______ Check the cable and Ethernet jack at the wall. Does the unit work at another physical
location?

Problems and Suggestions
Contact your service representative if the suggested actions do not solve the problem.
What happens
What to do
Application software problems
Make sure all cables are installed correctly.
Verify that your system hardware configuration
is set correctly. In Setup, check the values
against the system settings you recorded
previously. If an error is evident (for example,
the wrong type of drive is specified), make the
change in Setup and reboot the system. Record
your change.
Make sure the software is properly configured
for the system. Refer to the software documen-
tation for information.
Try a different copy of the software to see if
the problem is with the copy you are using.
If other software runs correctly on the system,
contact the vendor of the software that fails.
If you check all of the above with no success,
try clearing CMOS RAM and reconfiguring
the system. Make sure you have your list of
system settings available to re-enter, as clearing
CMOS RAM sets the options to their default
values.
Characters on the screen are distorted
or incorrect
Make sure the brightness and contrast controls
are properly adjusted.
Make sure the correct display drivers have
been loaded.
Make sure the display resolution is set correctly
to the product you’ve purchased.
Characters do not appear on screen
CMOS RAM settings are wrong
Reboot the system. Cycle the power.
If system settings stored in CMOS RAM
change for no apparent reason (for example,
the time of day develops an error), the backup
battery may no longer have enough power to
maintain the settings. Replace the battery.
Diskette drive light does not go on
when drive is in use or is tested by POST
Make sure the power and signal cables for the
drive are properly installed.
Check that the drive is properly configured and
enabled in Setup.
Hard drive light does not go on when drive
is in use or is tested by POST
Check that the drive is properly configured and
enabled in Setup.
