How-to Guides
- Obtain the optional add-on box for PCI or PCIe expansion (part number 98R36121000), which includes a PCI/PCIe riser card.
- Install the riser card into the PPC-6121's optional PCIe x4 or PCI expansion slot as provided by the add-on box kit.
- Confirm the expansion card is properly seated before closing the enclosure.
- Obtain the PPC-WLAN-C1E M.2 Wi-Fi module with antenna cable (supports 2T2R).
- Insert the module into the 1 x M.2 2230 (E key) expansion slot on the PPC-6121.
- Connect the antenna cable as provided with the module kit.
- Select a mounting method: wall mount kit (PPC-174T-WL-MTE), ARM VESA Standard mount (PPC-ARM-A03), or stand (PPC-STAND-A1E).
- If mounting into a panel cutout, ensure the cutout measures 311 x 240 mm (12.24 x 9.44 in).
- Attach the chosen mounting accessory to the PPC-6121 following the accessory's mounting points.
- Obtain the optional TPM module for PPC-6121 (part number 98R3P612100).
- Install the module into the system's optional TPM2.0 slot.
