This connector determines the delay time when the power turns off and provides two kinds of settings; shut down at 0 seconds, or 30 seconds after the power turns off. To change the delay time, Advantech accepts OEM design requests. The standard setting is shown below: Table 4.11: Power off delay setting connector (CN7)
4.5.3 Ignition input switch jumper (CN8) This jumper determines if the Vehicle Mounted Computer can be acti- vated by linkage to a vehicle ignition switch. The default setting reserves the jumper open. To enable the power-on function via the vehicle ignition switch, it is necessary to change the power fail function setting from BIOS (See Appendix B.2) and connect the signal pin of the power cord supplied with the TREK (See Section 2.2.1) to the car engine circuit.
