Power Off/On Procedure; Operating System And Hardware Component Drivers - Kontron KBox C-102 Series User Manual

9.2. Power OFF/ON Procedure

As the KBox C-102 is equipped with an internal hold-up buffer, it can't be powered off/on immediately.
The buffer time depends on the power consumption and load on the KBox C-102 processor and peripherals. Therefore
the following procedure must be observed.
1. Close your applications and perform an orderly shutdown (graceful shutdown).
2. Remove power from the system.
3.
Wait until the green power LED (Figure 17, pos. 2) stops blinking.
4. Reapply power.
Refer also to the subsection 4.4.8 "POWER Button and PWR LED".
Do not disconnect the power from your system while it is powered up!
Performing a forced shutdown can lead to loss of data or other undesirable effects!

9.3. Operating System and Hardware Component Drivers

Your system can be supplied optionally with a pre-installed operating system.
If you have ordered your KBox C-102 with a pre-installed operating system, all drivers are installed in accordance
with the system configuration ordered (optional hardware components). Your system is fully operational when you
power it on for the first time.
If you have ordered The KBox C-102 without a pre-installed operating system, you will need to install the operating
system and the appropriate drivers for the system configuration you have ordered (optional hardware components)
yourself.
You can download the relevant drivers for the installed hardware from our web site at
www.kontron.com by selecting the product.
Pay attention to the manufacturer specifications of the operating system and the integrated
hardware components.
