LED and a hard disk activity LED. The KISS 4U V3 comes with a 600 W Power Supply Unit (PSU) with an input voltage range of 100 V to 240 V. Two system fans are installed at the front side of the system. The two system fans are attached to the system by means of a slide-in fan assembly.
KISS 4U V3 - Rev. 1.0 4.1. Front Side The front side consists of two handle brackets for installation in a 19” Industrial rack and a front access panel with two front access panel side-plates attached via the handle brackets.
KISS 4U V3 - Rev. 1.0 The power button, LED indicators, two USB 2.0 ports, a filter pad holder and the integrated drives are located on the front side of the system behind the front access panel. Figure 9: Front side with front access panel open Holder arm for the front access panel D2: front accessible 5.25"...
Power cable and power connectors must always remain easily accessible. The KISS 4U V3 is only completely disconnected from the mains power supply when the power cable is disconnected, from the mains power socket or the KISS 4U V3’s input power connector (Figure 13, pos. 3, Figure 14, pos.2).
When locked the front access panel cannot be opened, and the drives, filter pad holder and power button are not accessible. The KISS 4U V3 can be operated without the front access panel, see Chapter 8.3: Removing the Front Access Panel and Front Access Panel Side-Plates.
The filter pad protects the system from dust and dirt and will over time become soiled by pollution. If heavily soiled, the filter pad can cause excessive heating of the system. Kontron recommends cleaning the filter pad as often as necessary, see Chapter 10.1: Cleaning the Filter Pad.
KISS 4U V3 - Rev. 1.0 The filter pad inserts into the filter pad holder and then fastens onto the fan assembly’s front side using two positioning latches (Figure 12, pos. 6) and tapped hole bolt (Figure 12, pos. 4) on then fastening the filter pad holder’s knurled screw (Figure 9, pos.

Operating System and Hardware Component Drivers The KISS 4U V3 is fully operational when switched on for the first time with pre-installed Operating System (OS) Windows 10 IoT x64 or Linux Ubuntu 64-bit and with all required drivers. Drivers are available from Kontron’s EMD customer section.
The removable filter pad inserts in the filter pad holder on the front side of the fan assembly. The filter pad is soiled by pollution within the operating environment. If heavily soiled, the filter pad can cause excessive heating of the system. Kontron recommends cleaning the filter pad as often as necessary. The filter pad can be changed during operation.
Fasten the filter pad holder by tightening the knurled screw (Figure 40, pos. 5) to the bolt with tapped hole (Figure 39, pos. 1) on the fan assembly. Defective components may only be replaced by Kontron original spare parts. For a list of spare parts, see Table 2: Accessories and spares parts.
Before replacing the fan assembly, read the following instructions: The operation is permitted only with a functional fan assembly! Only replace a defective fan assemble with Kontron’s original fan assembly. Fan assembly replaceable during operation. Replace fan only by qualified specialist or a suitably instructed persons aware of the associated dangers.
KISS 4U V3 - Rev. 1.0 To replace with a new functional fan assembly, align the fan assembly with the fan compartment. Insert the fan assembly’s positioning bracket (Figure 12, pos. 5) into the fan compartment’s fixing plate (Figure 44, pos. 1).
