Turning on the device
Before turning the unit on, please observe the following safety information.
Ensure a power between 8 VDC and 35 VDC.
Please do not press any keys while powering up!
The operating system is precisely pre-configured for your device. By press-
ing a key during powering up, this configuration could be adversely affected.
To turn on the device, follow these steps:
There are four methods to power on the system
Pressing the power button
Using the ignition signal input
Via an external non-latched switch
Sending a LAN packet via Ethernet (Wake-on-LAN)
Powering On Using the Power Button
This is the simplest way to turn on your system. The power button on the front panel is a non-
latched switch and behaves as the ATX-mode on/off control. With DC power connected,
pushing the power button will turn on the system and the PWR LED indicator will light up.
Pushing the button when system is on will turn off the system. If your operating system sup-
ports ATX power mode (i.e. Microsoft Windows), pushing the power button while the system
is in operation will result in a pre-defined system behavior, such as shutdown or hibernation.
Ignition Power Control
The ignition power control module for in-vehicle applications is a MCU-based implementation
that monitors the ignition signal and reacts to turn on/off the system according to predefined
on/off delay. Its built-in algorithm supports other features such as ultra-low power standby,
battery-low protection, system hard-off, etc. In this section, we‟ll illustrate the principle of igni-
tion power control and operation modes.
For the description and location of your system‟s ignition control switch, please refer to the
User Manual on the supplied Drivers and Utilities CDROM .
