CHAPTER 4 INSTALLATION
4.1 ANTI-STATIC PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the PC Series-N270 may result in permanent damage to the PC Series-N270 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic compo­nents, including the PC Series-N270. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the PC Series-N270 is accessed internally, or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to. " Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can help to
prevent ESD from damaging the board.
" Self-grounding: - Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting mate
rial. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any conducting materi als that are connected to the ground.
" Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the PC Series-N270, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the PC Series­N270.
" Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
4.2 INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
When installing the flat panel PC, please follow the precautions listed below: " Power turned off: When installing the flat panel PC, make sure the power is off.
Failing to turn off the power may cause severe injury to the body and/or damage to the system.
" Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify onboard
functionalities.
" Anti-static Discharge: If a user open the rear panel of the flat panel PC, to config
ure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground themselves first and wear and anti-static wristband.

4.10 Mounting the System
WARNING! When mounting the flat panel PC onto an arm, onto the wall or into a wall, it is better to have more than one person to help with the installation to make sure the panel PC does not fall down and get damaged.
The methods of mounting the PC Series-N270 are listed below. " Wall mounting " Arm mounting " Rack mounting
The mounting methods are described in the following sections.
4.10.1 WALL SURFACE MOUNTING
To mount the panel PC onto a wall, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Select the location on the wall for the wall-mounting bracket. Step 2: Carefully mark the locations of the four bracket screw holes on the wall. Step 3: Drill four pilot holes at the marked locations on the wall for the bracket retention screws. Step 4: Align the wall-mounting bracket screw holes with the pilot holes. Step 5: Secure the mounting-bracket to the wall by inserting the retention screws into the four pilot holes and tightening them. Step 6: Insert the four monitor mounting screws provided in the wall mounting kit into the four screw holes on the real panel of the flat panel PC and tighten until the screw shank is secured against the rear panel (Figure 4-16). Step 7: Align the mounting screws on the monitor rear panel with the mounting holes on the bracket. Step 8: Carefully insert the screws through the holes and gently pull the monitor down­wards until the monitor rests securely in the slotted holes (Figure 4-16).
Ensure that all four of the mounting screws fit snuggly into their respective slotted holes.

CHAPTER 5 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
5.1 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE INTRODUCTION
If the components of the PC Series-N270 fail they must be replaced. Components that can be replaced include: " CF Module " Bluetooth module " Wireless LAN module " SO-DIMM module
Please contact the system reseller or vendor to purchase the replacement parts. Back cover removal instructions for the PC Series-N270 are described below.
5.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING: Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the PC Series-N270 may result in permanent damage to the PC Series-N270 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic compo­nents, including the PC Series-N270. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the PC Series-N270 is accessed internally, or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to. " Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can help to
prevent ESD from damaging the board.
" Self-grounding: - Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting mate
rial. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any conducting materi als that are connected to the ground.
" Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the PC Series-N270, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the PC Series­N270.

A. WATCHDOG TIMER
NOTE:
The following discussion applies to DOS environment. IEI support is contacted or the IEI website visited for specific drivers for more sophisticated operating systems, e.g., Windows and Linux.
The Watchdog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from cata­strophic conditions that cause the CPU to crash. This condition may have occurred by external EMIs or a software bug. When the CPU stops working correctly, Watchdog Timer either performs a hardware reset (cold boot) or a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) to bring the system back to a known state.
A BIOS function call (INT 15H) is used to control the Watchdog Timer.
INT 15H:
Call sub-function 2 to set the time-out period of Watchdog Timer first. If the time-out value is not zero, the Watchdog Timer starts counting down. When the timer value reaches zero, the system resets. To ensure that this reset condition does not occur; calling sub-function
2 must periodically refresh the Watchdog Timer. However, the watchdog timer is disabled if the time­out value is set to zero.
A tolerance of at least 10% must be maintained to avoid unknown routines within the operating system (DOS), such as disk I/O that can be very time-consuming.
NOTE:
When exiting a program it is necessary to disable the Watchdog Timer, otherwise the system resets.
