About the MilSystem
The MilSystem products are intended for users of turn-key embedded systems who require long life-cycle,
configuration controlled computers with MIL-STD-D38999 connectors. MilSystem models each feature one
of three Extreme Rugged™ computer boards: the LittleBoard 735 Single Board Computer (SBC), the
LittleBoard 800 SBC, or the COM 840 (Computer On Module) with the EBX baseboard. The
LittleBoard 735, LittleBoard 800, and the COM 840 are available with varieties of processors and memory.
An optional operating system (OS) can be pre-loaded onto an optional internal storage device (2 ½" hard
drive or Solid State Drive). Board Support Packages (BSPs) are provided on the optional Support Software
DVDs or QuickDrives™ to support additional OSs. Just use a USB memory device to load your application
software and you are ready to use your system.

This guide provides the most efficient way to set up your MilSystem with your desired OS. The instructions
provided in this guide include:
• Removing the MilSystem from the shipping container and inspecting the accessories
• Connecting peripherals to the MilSystem
• Military connector pin signals and descriptions
• Powering up the MilSystem
Information not provided in this User’s Guide includes:
• Board or Module specifications
• Board or Module header pin signals and descriptions

Setup Steps
Follow the setup steps in this section in the order listed. Skip any steps that do not apply to your application.
References to other ADLINK manuals are provided in this section for more information about installation
and use of this MilSystem.
Table 5. Preparations
1) Open shipping box.
2) Verify contents.
3) Obtain support
documentation.
• Locate the MilSystem Contents List.
• Unpack the contents of the shipping box.
• Verify the contents of the shipping box against the Contents List included
with your MilSystem.
• If anything is missing or damaged, call your sales representative. Refer to
the Ampro By ADLINK web page at http://www.adlinktech.com

Setting Up the Work Space
NOTE To prevent damage to the MilSystem, ensure sufficient clearance exists around
the cooling fins for unrestricted airflow. See Figure 1 on page 5.
The air temperature inside the enclosure could rise above the specified operating
temperature limits if the airflow through the cooling fins is restricted.
4) Select workbench
location.
5) Unpack MilSystem.
• The workbench location should be a flat clean surface for setup and opera-
tion (including the connection of any external peripherals and optional
devices).
• Ensure sufficient airflow clearance exists around the complete enclosure.
• Remove the MilSystem from its shipping container and place it on a flat
work surface.
• The MilSystem enclosure combined with LittleBoard or COM module,
storage (HDD, CF, or SSD), and the desired OS form a complete system,
ready for operation.

Connecting Peripherals
7) Connect the MC-1 cable
to the MilSystem. See
Figure 1 on page 5 for
illustrations of cables. See
Figure 3 for locations of
the MC connectors.
MilSystem Setup
• Refer to Figure 3 for locations and descriptions of the connectors before
making connections or powering on the MilSystem.
• Connect the USB or PS2 keyboard to the appropriate connector on the
MC-1 connector.
• Connect the USB mouse (PS2 not supported) to the appropriate connec-
tor on the MC-1 connector.
• Connect the CRT or LCD monitor through its 15-pin cable to the VGA
cable on the MC-1 connector.
CAUTION The monitor must be connected to the MilSystem before
you power on the system, or the display ouput
automatically will switch from VGA to LVDS.

9) Verify the MilSystem
satisfactorily powers on.
• Connect the AC Mating Cable to the AC Adapter (options.) See
Figure 1 on page 5.
• Plug in the DC Cable Connector from the AC Adapter (option) to
the DC IN jack on the MilSystem. See Figure 3 on page 8.
NOTE Power supplied to the unit must be within the allowed range
depending on the model of the unit:
• +12VDC to +25VDC for MILxxx models
• +14VDC to +32VDC for MILxxxW models
Failure to provide proper power may damage the system and void
the warranty.
• Plug in the CRT or LCD monitor’s power cord to an AC outlet and
turn on the monitor.
CAUTION The monitor must be connected to the MilSystem
before you turn on the system, or the display output
automatically will switch from VGA to LVDS.
• Plug in the AC Mating cable to an AC outlet.
• Press the MilSystem Power On button on the MC-1 breakout cable
to power on the MilSystem.
• To enter the BIOS Setup, press the <Del> key during power-on self
test (POST).
Use BIOS Setup during the initial boot to set the desired options.
• You should see POST complete successfully before the system
starts loading the operating system (optional.) If you are using
Linux, the boot loader will appear first, similar to the one shown
below with the corresponding OS name displayed.
NOTE The optional 2 ½" hard disk drive comes with partitions for
the OS and swap space.
(The Linux 2.6 OS is shown as an example.)
GNU GRUB version 0.95 (632k lower/250768 upper memory)
Linux Kernel 2.6.x-xxx (recovery mode)
Use the and keys to se lect which entry is highlighted.
Press Enter to boot the se lected OS, ‘e’ to edit the
commands before booting, ‘a’ to modify the k ernel
arguments before booting, or ‘c’ for a command-line.
