CPU cards. The user interface of the AWS-8124 can be customized with additional components. Advantech is the leader in half-size tech- nology. When we designed the AWS-8124 series we took advan- tages of the half-size form factor to give you the tightest package possible.

1.5 Panel mounting The AWS-8124 will stand on a shelf or a table, or you can mount it in a panel. Included with your AWS-8124, you’ll find three panel- mount brackets. The brackets have two screws that stick out and fit in the keyhole slots on the workstation chassis.
2.1 General When you receive your mini-workstation, you should be able to plug-and-play since we have already installed and tested the workstation’s components in the factory. However, if you need to customize the AWS-8124 yourself, you will see that it is a simple job.
2.2 Removing top cover and rear panel To access the backplane, remove the top cover and rear panel. First remove the five screws that secure the top cover, then remove the top cover (see Figure 2-1). After you remove the top cover, unscrew the six screws on the rear panel and remove the rear panel.
2.3 Adding cards The 4-slot passive backplane accepts half-size CPU and I/O cards. Slot number S4 has a little bit more space than the other slots. This slot lets you insert a CPU card with an on-board piggyback/PC-104 module. We strongly recommend these all-in-one cards, for they are durable and save valuable slot space by bundling a CPU with hard disk and floppy disk controllers, as well as serial and parallel ports.
2.4 Removing the protective cover To reach the disk drives, power supply and monitor you must slide the main chassis out of its protective cover. First remove the top cover and rear panel as described in section 2.2. Remove the three screws on the side panel just above the card brackets.
2.5 Installing optional drives The AWS-8124 offers space for two disk drives. When you receive the station, a 3½” floppy drive is already installed. Only the upper drive bay offers access through the floppy disk door. The lower position should therefore be reserved for an optional HDD. To install the optional drive first remove the protective cover completely (see section 2.4).
3.1 The passive backplane Four screws secure the 4-slot passive backplane to the inside of the AWS-8124 chassis. To service or replace the backplane, remove the top cover. There is no need to slide the main chassis out. Remove the four screws that secure the backplane to the chassis.
3.2 Power supply and cooling fan To service or replace the power supply and cooling fan, first remove the protective cover. (See section 2.4) To reach the power supply you must first remove the cooling fan. Four screws connect the fan to the chassis. Unscrew the fan and disconnect its power cable.
(See Figure 3-3). Note: We recommend that you leave display service and repair to your supplier Contact Advantech’s Cus- tomer Service Department for additional informa- tion on the displays. Figure 3-3: Disconnecting the display...
3.4 LCD backlight replacement In the normal working life of the AWS-8124 you will seldom need to replace the LCD backlight. If it's necessary to maintain the LCD backlight, plaese contact your distributor, sales representative, or Advantech's customer service center. Chapter 3 Maintenance...
A.1 Power Supply: SNP-8086 (AC 100~230V/ 60Hz Input) SPECIFICATION A.1.1 INTRODUCTIONS The SNP-8086 is a 72-watt (convection cooling) / 100-watt (forced air cooling) dual-output switching power supply. It is especially designed for use with Network and Telecommunications Equip- ment. A.1.2 INPUT SPECIFICATIONS Universal AC Input Voltage The range of input voltage is from 85V to 264V...
At the factory, the +5 V output is set between 5.OOV to 5. 10 V at 60% rated load, and the + 12 V Output is checked to be within the accuracy range. The adjustable range for the +5 V output is ± 5 %. Note: +12 V output voltage will track the adjustment.
The built-in crowbar circuit will shut down the outputs to avoid damaging the external circuits. The trip point of over voltage protection is around 6.4 V to 7.4 V. To recover from over voltage protection, cycle the AC line OFF and ON to make it restart. Short circuit protection The power supply will generate a hiccup mode to protect itself against short circuit or over load conditions, and will return to...
A.2 Power Supply: D12-4081 (DC 12V Input) SPECIFICATION A.2.1 INTRODUCTIONS The D12-4081 is a 74 watts DC to DC switching power supply with a nominal input of 9 or 18 V DC, it is designed for general purpose. A.2.2 INPUT SPECIFICATIONS DC Input Voltage to 18 V Input Current...
Line regulation The line regulation is less than ±1% at rated load with ±10% change in input voltage. Load regulation The load regulation for +5 V is less than ±1 %, for +12 V outputs is less than ±5 %, for -12 V outputs is less than ±10 %, while the measuring is done by changing the measured output loading ±40 % from 60 % rated load, and keep other output is at 60 % rated load.
