Safety Precautions
Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions.
1. User should not modify any unmentioned jumper setting without Axiomtek FAEs instruction. Any modification without instruction might cause system to become damage
2. The eBOX550-100-FL does not come equipped with an operating system. An operating system must be loaded first before installing any software into the computer.
3. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing the internal components. Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in any static-shielded devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to static electrical charge.
4. Disconnect the power cord from the eBOX550-100-FL before making any installation. Be sure both the system and the external devices are turned OFF. Sudden surge of power could ruin sensitive components. Make sure the eBOX550­100-FL is properly grounded.
5. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the equipment to the power outlet.
6. Turn OFF the system power before cleaning. Clean the system using a cloth only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner directly onto the screen.
7. Do not leave this equipment in an uncontrolled environment where the storage temperature is below -20 or above 80. It may damage the equipment.
8. Do not open the systems cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must, only a trained technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the
system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to discharge any static electricity on your body.
When handling boards/components, wear a wrist-grounding strap, available
from most electronic component stores.

Thermal Precautions
1. Make sure there is enough air circulation space when install eBOX550-100-FL, please leave at least 5 CM (about 2 inches) clearance area around eBOX550-100­FL.
2 The fins, heats ink and vents should not obstructed by objects. Blocking those
thermal solutions may cause over-heating.

General Cleaning Tips
You may need the following precautions before you begin to clean the computer. When you clean any single part or component for the computer, please read and understand the details below fully.
When you need to clean the device, please rub it with a piece of dry cloth.
1. Be cautious of the tiny removable components when you use a vacuum cleaner to absorb the dirt on the floor.
2. Turn the system off before you start to clean up the component or computer.
3. Never drop the components inside the computer or get circuit board damp or wet.
4. Be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals when you use it for the sake of cleaning. Some individuals may be allergic to the ingredients.
5. Try not to put any food, drink or cigarette around the computer.
Cleaning Tools:
Although many companies have created products to help improve the process of cleaning your computer and peripherals users can also use household items to clean their computers and peripherals. Below is a listing of items you may need or want to use while cleaning your computer or computer peripherals.
Keep in mind that some components in your computer may only be able to be cleaned using a product designed for cleaning that component, if this is the case it will be mentioned in the cleaning. Cloth: A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up a component.
Although paper towels or tissues can be used on most hardware as well, we still recommend you to rub it with a piece of cloth.
Water or rubbing alcohol: You may moisten a piece of cloth a bit with some water
or rubbing alcohol and rub it on the computer. Unknown solvents may be harmful to the plastics parts.
Vacuum cleaner: Absorb the dust, dirt, hair, cigarette particles, and other particles
out of a computer can be one of the best methods of cleaning a computer. Over time these items can restrict the airflow in a computer and cause circuitry to corrode
Cotton swabs: Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are excellent tools for
wiping hard to reach areas in your keyboard, mouse, and other locations.
Foam swabs: Whenever possible it is better to use lint free swabs such as foam swabs.
Note: We strongly recommended that you should shut down the system before you start to
clean any single components.
Please follow the steps below:
1. Close all application programs
2. Close operating software
3. Turn off power switch
4. Remove all device
5. Pull out power cable

Scrap Computer Recycling
If the computer equipment need the maintenance or are beyond repair, we strongly recommended that you should inform your Axiomtek distributor as soon as possible for the suitable solution. For the computers that are no longer useful or no longer working well, please contact your Axiomtek distributor for recycling and we will make the proper arrangement.

Put jumper clip to pin 2-3 for a few seconds then move it back to pin 1-2. Doing this procedure can restore BIOS optimal defaults.
3.2.2 Auto Power On (JP11)
If JP11 is enabled for power input, the system will be automatically power on without pressing soft power button. If JP11 is disabled for power input, it is necessary to manually press soft power button to power on the system.
Note:This function is similar to the feature of power on after power failure, which is controlled
by hardware circuitry instead of BIOS.

3.3.12 Express Mini Card Slot
PCI Express Mini Card connector supports a PCI Express x1 link and a USB 2.0 link. A PCI Express Mini Card can be applied to either PCI Express or USB 2.0. The USB 2.0 support will be helpful during the transition to PCI Express, because peripheral vendors will need time to design their chipsets to have the PCI Express function. During the transition, PCI Express Mini Cards can be quickly implemented by using USB 2.0

CHAPTER 4
AMI BIOS SETUP UTILITY
The AMI UEFI BIOS provides users with a built-in setup program to modify basic system configuration. All configured parameters are stored in a 16MB flash chip to save the setup information whenever the power is turned off. This chapter provides users with detailed description about how to set up basic system configuration through the AMI BIOS setup utility.
4.1 Starting
To enter the setup screens, follow the steps below:
1. Turn on the computer and press the <Del> key immediately.
2. After you press the <Del> key, the main BIOS setup menu displays. You can access the other setup screens from the main BIOS setup menu, such as the Advanced and Chipset menus.
Note: If your computer cannot boot after making and saving system changes with Setup, you
can restore BIOS optimal defaults by setting JP1 (see section 2.3.1) .
It is strongly recommended that you should avoid changing the chipsets defaults. Both AMI and your system manufacturer have carefully set up these defaults that provide the best performance and reliability.

APPENDIX A
WATCHDOG TIMER
About Watchdog Timer
Software stability is major issue in most application. Some embedded systems are not watched by human for 24 hours. It is usually too slow to wait for someone to reboot when computer hangs. The systems need to be able to reset automatically when things go wrong. The watchdog timer gives us solution.
The watchdog timer is a counter that triggers a system reset when it counts down to zero from a preset value. The software starts counter with an initial value and must reset it periodically. If the counter ever reaches zero which means the software has crashed, the system will reboot.
How to Use Watchdog Timer
The I/O port base addresses of watchdog timer are 2E (hex) and 2F (hex). The 2E (hex) and 2F (hex) are address and data port respectively.
Assume that program A is put in a loop that must execute at least once every 10ms. Initialize watchdog timer with a value bigger than 10ms. If the software has no problems; watchdog timer will never expire because software will always restart the counter before it reaches zero.
