Copyright 2014 Axiomtek Co., Ltd. All Rights Reserved March 2014, Version A1 Printed in Taiwan ii Safety Precautions Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions. 1. User should not modify any unmentioned jumper setting without Axiomtek FAE’s instruction. Any modification without instruction might cause system to become damage 2. The tBOX312-870-FL does not come equipped with an operating system. An operating system must be loaded first before installing any software into the computer. 3. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing the internal components. Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in any static-shielded devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to static electrical charge. 4. Disconnect the power cord from the tBOX312-870-FL before making any installation. Be sure both the system and the external devices are turned OFF. Sudden surge of power could ruin sensitive components. Make sure the tBOX312-870-FL is properly grounded. 5. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the equipment to the power outlet. 6. Turn OFF the system power before cleaning. Clean the system using a cloth only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner directly onto the screen. 7. Do not leave this equipment in an uncontrolled environment where the storage temperature is below -40℃ or above 85℃. It may damage the equipment. 8. Do not open the system’s back cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must, only a trained technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions: Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to discharge any static electricity on your body. When handling boards and components, wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic component stores. iii Classification 1. 2. 3. 4. Degree of production against electric shock: not classified Degree of protection against the ingress of water: IP40 Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide. Mode of operation: Continuous General Cleaning Tips You may need the following precautions before you begin to clean the computer. When you clean any single part or component for the computer, please read and understand the details below fully. When you need to clean the device, please rub it with a piece of dry cloth. 1. Be cautious of the tiny removable components when you use a vacuum cleaner to absorb the dirt on the floor. 2. Turn the system off before you start to clean up the component or computer. 3. Never drop the components inside the computer or get circuit board damp or wet. 4. Be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals when you use it for the sake of cleaning. Some individuals may be allergic to the ingredients. 5. Try not to put any food, drink or cigarette around the computer. iv Cleaning Tools: Although many companies have created products to help improve the process of cleaning your computer and peripherals users can also use household items to clean their computers and peripherals. Below is a listing of items you may need or want to use while cleaning your computer or computer peripherals. Keep in mind that some components in your computer may only be able to be cleaned using a product designed for cleaning that component, if this is the case it will be mentioned in the cleaning. Cloth: A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up a component. Although paper towels or tissues can be used on most hardware as well, we still recommend you to rub it with a piece of cloth. Water or rubbing alcohol: You may moisten a piece of cloth a bit with some water or rubbing alcohol and rub it on the computer. Unknown solvents may be harmful to the plastics parts. Vacuum cleaner: Absorb the dust, dirt, hair, cigarette particles, and other particles out of a computer can be one of the best methods of cleaning a computer. Over time these items can restrict the airflow in a computer and cause circuitry to corrode. Cotton swabs: Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas in your keyboard, mouse, and other locations. Foam swabs: Whenever possible it is better to use lint free swabs such as foam swabs. NOTE: We strongly recommended that you should shut down the system before you start to clean any single components. Please follow the steps below: 1. Close all application programs 2. Close operating software 3. Turn off power switch 4. Remove all device 5. Pull out power cable v Scrap Computer Recycling If the computer equipments need the maintenance or are beyond repair, we strongly recommended that you should inform your Axiomtek distributor as soon as possible for the suitable solution. For the computers that are no longer useful or no longer working well, please contact your Axiomtek distributor for recycling and we will make the proper arrangement.

There are 1~255 levels available. As long as the vaule of timer is set, after ena bling, the countdown of the value is starting. It needs to reset or disable watchdog, otherwise auto -reset will be running when the value is counted to 0. How to Use the Watchdog Timer (Following is example to enable configuration by using debug tool) Enable WDT 1.Enable configuration -O 2E 87 -O 2E 87 2. Select Logic device: -O 2E 07 -O 2F 08 3. WDT Device Enable -O 2E 30 -O 2F 01 5. Set timer unit -O 2E F0 -O 2F 00 (00: Sec; 08: Minute) 4.

T he value of W atchdog Timer must be set bigger than the running time of program A. Then, after the running time of program A is finished, either to disable or to reset watchdog timer. When program A has problems to make system shut down, the system can be rebooted by W atchdog timer when the value of watchdog timer is countdowned to 0 .

The boot up requirement is quite different from normal embedded system. Please do follow the instruction in this section. C.1 Introduction Most of the times, car batteries will stay at 13.5V~15V (for 12V Mode), or at 27V~30V (for 24V Mode) while car engine is running, so specified above 13V or 26V power on will ensure that car engine is running and prevents a cold crank while car engine is started. This cold crank will cause car battery voltage to drop to minimum 6V (at 12V mode) or more low, at this time,the most difficult task to provide a stable +12V output power to PC system to prevent PC system from cold boot. In order to ensure the vehicle could provide a stable DC power, tBOX312-870-FL will detect the DC power from source is higher than the Start Voltage or not. POWER ON PROCEDURE 41 tBOX312-870-FL Series User’s Manual C.2 Power Input Mode Setting To support different vehicle and battery protection, it has two types of power Input mode: Mode Operating Voltage Start Voltage * Low Voltage ** Very Low Voltage *** 12V 9V~16V 11.5V 10.5V 9V 24V 18V~32V 23V 21V 18V *Start Voltage: The intelligent power board will start up and initial whole system when DC power source higher than this setting. **Low Voltage: When DC power source lower than this setting, intelligent vehicle powerboard will run Low voltage Counter. W hen counter time out, tBOX31 2-870-FL will shutdown system automatically, and intelligent vehicle power board will stay in standby mode(max. power consumption is under 5mA) **Very Low Voltage: When DC power source lower than this setting, intelligent vehicle powerboard will run Very Low voltage Counter. When counter time out, intelligent vehicle powerboard will turn off power immediately without shutdown procedure. 42 POWER ON PROCEDURE tBOX312-870-FL Series User’s Manual C.3 DC-inlet Introduction There are three pins of the DC-in connector as below table: Pin Description Definination 1 V+ For DC power in V+. 2 V- For DC power in V- 3 ACC For ACC (Ignition) ACC means “accessories”. Mainly, it acts both notice signal to all electronical devices, and also provides DC from battery. When user puts car key into ignition, and turn the key to this position, user can run radio, CD player, air condition or other electronical accessories in vehicle. Below picture is a normal car ignition with ACC position: POWER ON PROCEDURE 43 tBOX312-870-FL Series User’s Manual C.4 Power on cabling example Due to the voltage of ACC is usually the same as V+, user could connect V+ with ACC to initial the tBOX312-870-FL. 1. Power On without ACC control: ACC connect to V+. 2. Power On with ACC control: ACC connector to ignition switch. 44 POWER ON PROCEDURE
