Safety Precautions
Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions.
1.
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.
2.
Disconnect the power cord from the rBOX630-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 rBOX630-FL is
properly grounded.
3.
Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the
equipment to the power outlet.
4.
Turn OFF the system power before cleaning. Clean the system using a clo th
only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner directly onto the screen.
5.
Do not leave this equipment in an uncontrolled environment where the storage
temperature is below -45℃ or above 85℃. It may damage the equipment.
6.
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.

W hen handling boards and components, wear a wrist -grounding strap,
available from most electronic component stores .

General Cleaning Tips
You may need the following precautions before you begin to clean the computer .
W hen you clean any single part or component for the com puter, please read and
understand the details below fully.
W hen 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.

W ater 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: W henever possible it is better to use lint free swabs such as foam
swabs.
We strongly recommended that you should shut down the system before you
start to clean any single components.
Note
Please follow the steps below:
1.
Close all application programs
2.
Close operating software
3.
Turn off power
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.

General Description
rBOX630-FL cost-effective din-rail fanless embedded system utilizes the low power
RISC-based module (iMX-6) processor and is designed to withstand temperatures
ranging from -40℃ to +70℃ for using in extreme operating environment and
industrial automation applications.
rBOX630-FL features 4 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, dual LANs, 1 DIO Port (8-In/8Out),1 HDMI, 2 CAN bus and 1 eMMC onboard 4GB & 1 x SD socket for storage
expansion (easy to access) in a compact, industrial -strength robust case. Two power
paths input minimize the risk of data loss in the event of a single power failure. Its
vertical din-rail form factor makes it easy to install the system in a small cabinet. Due
