NXP-TPI/4 NetLinx Touch Panel Interface 11 Installation Verify the new EXM memory module is correctly positioned using the alignment groove located on the connector (as seen in FIG. 7 above). 7. While maintaining the 45° angle alignment on the new module, push it in firmly until the contact pins are completely inside the connector. 8. Push the card downward (to the main board) until the metallic braces snap around the memory module and hold it in place. 9. To complete the upgrade process, continue with the following step and/or re-install the outer housing. Refer to the following sections for related procedures. Step 4: Upgrading the internal Compact Flash card 1. Discharge any static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object or the grounding bolt shown in FIG. 4 on page 9. 2. With the housing removed, locate the 64 MB Compact Flash card on the main board (for location information, see FIG. 6 on page 11). 3. Insert a grounded flat-head screwdriver into one of the card removal grooves (located on either side of the card), and gently pry the card up and off the connector pins (FIG. 8). This alternating action causes the card to "wiggle" away from the on-board connector pins.

Slip your finger into the opening between the connector pins and the card, and push the card out to remove it. 5. Remove the upgrade card from its' anti-static bag. 6. Insert the upgrade card into the connector opening with the arrow facing towards the pins, then push it in firmly until the contact pins are completely inside the Compact Flash card and securely attached to the connector. 7. Follow the procedures outlined in the following section to complete the upgrade process and resecure the outer housing back onto the TPI/4. 12 NXP-TPI/4 NetLinx Touch Panel Interface Installation Step 5: Re-Installing the TPI/4 Outer Housing 1. Slide this previously removed cover gently back towards the rear of the unit until the housing is flush with the rear connectors. When installing the TPI/4 housing, verify the EMI gasket (FIG. 6 on page 11) remains flush against the rear of the housing. This gasket (and its corresponding location) is necessary to maintain FCC compliance. 2. Carefully install the housing by screwing-in the four flat Phillips-head screws into both sides of the TPI/4 outer housing (2 per side as seen in FIG. 9) and the three flat Phillips-head screws into the openings along the rear-underside of the unit. 3. Screw-in the two connector bolts (four total) to each side of both the TOUCH INPUT and VGA OUTPUT connectors. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. 4. Carefully insert and screw-in the grounding bolt to the rear of the TPI/4 unit. 5. Reinstall any blank input card covers to their desired locations. The internal circuit board must not be exposed. DO NOT LEAVE ANY OPEN GAPS IN THE HOUSING. Step 6: Re-Installing TP4 Input Cards Always power down the unit before attempting to remove or install input modules. Failure to do so could result in damage to the TPI/4 and input cards. Do not to allow the input cards to fall through the housing and onto the circuit board during the installation process. 1. Detach all connectors from the TPI/4 unit. 2. Discharge any static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object or the grounding bolt shown in FIG. 9. 3. If there are any input card covers present on the unit, follow the steps outlined in the Step 1: Removing Input Card Covers section on page 10 to safely remove any pre-installed blank input card covers, as shown below in FIG. 9. 4. Carefully remove the input cards from their static-free bag and note the location of the accompanying four Phillips-head screws (used in securing the card to the housing). 5. Carefully align the male pins (on the card) and female (on the TPI/4 circuit board) connector. 6. Connect the input card by inserting the male pins vertically down onto the female input connectors on the motherboard, as shown in FIG. 9. NXP-TPI/4 NetLinx Touch Panel Interface 13 Installation Input card connectors (male) TP4-VID TP4-RGB Motherboard card connectors (female) Flat phillips-head screws Housing screws Round-head screws Grounding bolt FIG. 9 Inserting input modules Be sure that each input card connector is attached to the corresponding set of pins on the motherboard. FORCING A CONNECTION TO THE MOTHERBOARD CAN DAMAGE OR BREAK CONNECTOR PINS and require the replacement of the entire input card. 7. Gently push down on the input card (on the location above the pins) until it is securely connected to the motherboard and fits into a card connector location. 8. Once secure, align the input card into the provided "slot" and verify that the TPD4 card holes (2 on top and 2 at the rear) align with those located on the TPI/4 housing. The flat Phillips-head screws must be used on top (flush against housing) and the rounded Phillips-head screws must be used on the rear of the unit. 9. Repeat steps 2 through 8 to insert other input cards, if necessary. It may be necessary to loosen and slightly move adjacent cards in order to maintain the required "tight-seal" for both input cards. After the cards are adjusted to fit together, tighten the connector screws to secure each cards' location. 10. Screw-in (clockwise) the four screws (per card) to both the top and rear of the unit to secure each card firmly to the TPI/4 (along the ends of the inserted input card) (FIG. 9). 14 NXP-TPI/4 NetLinx Touch Panel Interface
