Without a connected keyboard, the NUM-Lock ON field in the BIOS-setup must not be activated. Otherwise the time- out noticeably slows down the reaction speed of the computer as soon as the keyboard is not connected. The PS2 peripherals (KB and MS) are not hot-plug compatible. www.kontron.com...
If the computer system is to be installed in a vehicle (car, truck, train), an external, overvoltage protection must be attached. Connecting a zinc oxide based metal oxide varistor (MOV) directly at the supply input connector is recommended. Use a typical 28V clamp voltage for the 12/24V systems. Example: Varistor: B72220S300K (Infineon) Vbreak=30V www.kontron.com...
The replacement lithium battery must be UL approved. Lithium batteries cannot simply be thrown away as domestic waste. Local regulations concerning the disposal of hazardous waste materials must be followed (e.g., by taking to specially designated collection areas). www.kontron.com...
As long as the computer system is used in the specified operating temperature range, no toxic, corrosive, or explosive fumes or vapors are exposed. [MIL-STD-454M] 4.14 Environmental Safety: Laser Devices Note: No assembled CD/DVD-Drive included. 4.15 Environmental Safety: Noise Emission Note: This computer system is a low noise system; the level is less than 15 dbA. www.kontron.com...
Before handling the equipment or when making changes to the configuration, power-off the system and disconnect all power cords from their source. Use a grounding wrist strap or other static-dissipating device to prevent accidental damage caused by static discharge. Only qualified, experienced electronics service personnel should access and handle the equipment. www.kontron.com...
