2.0 GHz processor with a Windows OS preinstalled. The 720 Series is a compact BOX-PC with a
high-power CPU while clearing severe environment conditions for ambient temperatures based on its
dust cooling system provi ding high co oling e fficie ncy and dust resi stance. T he BOX-PC has a weal th of
extension interfaces , w ith all the co nnec tor s in clud ing th e PC I slot s con cen t rated on th e fr ont pa nel ,
providing superb maintainability and other added values unique to CONTEC. As the BOX-PC
incorporates handpicked components such as the embedded types of CPU and chipset, it excels in
reliability and stable supply for an extended period of time, offering usability without anxiety.

Features

High performance

- Equipped with a high-performance CPU of Intel (R) Celeron (R) processor 2.0 GHz (400-MHz
FSB), supporting high-speed data acquisition/arithmetic applications.

- High-power CPU based compact PC serviceable in a guaranteed operating range of ambient
temperatures from 0 to 50 degrees centigrade (*1).

Assorted extension interfaces

- Coming standard with a variety of ex tensions such as two PCI slots, five serial ports (RS-232C x 4,
RS-422/485 x 1 [inside a RAS connector]), two LAN connectors (100BASE-T x 1, 100BASE-TX x

1), a CF slot (bootable), and the RAS connector.

High maintainability

- The front panel with all the connectors and PCI slots and the slot-in system facilitating the mounting
and demounting of storage devices.

- PCI slots in the riser unit structure removable from the system unit, making it easy to plug and
unplug PCI boards.

- Long-life fan (life expectancy of six years (*2)) in an easily replaceable fan unit

High reliability and secure design

- Duct cooling system with high cooling efficiency and dust resistance, using the fan unit to directly
cool the CPU and the left and right ducts to exhaust the isolated air from heat sources.

- Equipping with a falling-o ff st opper cl amp for the AC power cable, a fal li n g-o ff st o pper brac ket for
the CF slot, and a strong falling-off stopper clamp for the PCI-slot.

- EEPROM retaining the BIOS s etting s, c apabl e of boo ting even when the battery is dead.

Stable supply

- Long-life design with handpicked components such as the CPU and chipset for embedded
computing, remaining in stable supply for an extended period of time as industrial equipment.

Handling Precautions

WA RN IN G

- Always check that the power supply is turne d off before connecting or disconnecting power cables.

- Do not modify the product.

- Always turn off the power before inserting or removing circuit boards or cables.

- This product is not intended for use in aerospace, space, nuclear power, medical equipment, or other
applications that require a very high level of reliability. Do not use the product in such applicati ons.

- If using this product in applications where safety is critical such as in railways, automotive, or
disaster prevention or security systems, please contact your retailer.

CAUTION

- Do not use or store the product in a location exposed to extremely high or low temperature or
susceptible to rapid temperature changes.
Example: - Exposure to direct sun

- In the vicinity of a heat source

- Do not use the product in extremely humid or dusty locations. It is ex tremely dang erous to use the
product with its interior penetrated by water or any other fluid or conductive dust. If the product
must be used in such an environment, install it on a dust-proof control panel, for example.

- Avoid using or storing the device in locations subject to shock or vibration.

- Do not use the product in the vicinity of devices that generate strong magnetic force or noise. Such
devices will cause this device to malfunction.

- Do not use or store the product in the presence of chemicals.

- To clean the BOX-PC, wipe it gently wit h a soft cl oth dam pened with eit her water or mild deter gent.
Do not use chemicals or a volatile solvent, such as benzene or thinner, to prevent pealing or
discoloration of the paint.

- Hard disks have a limited life span. Please perform systematic backup and maintenance.

- CONTEC does not provide any guarantee for the integrity of data on hard disks.

- To prevent corruption of files, always shutdown the OS before turning off the BOX-PC.

- 2.5 inches hard disk drive (HDD) of our company has not guaranteed use by continuation and
continuation power for 24 ho urs. When it is use d by contin uation operatio n and conti nuation power,
a life fails extremely. In the case of a 24 hours operation system, use of our company silicon disk
drive (SDD) is recommended.

- Be sure to unplug the power cable from a wall outlet before plugging or unplugging an expansion
board or any connector.

- CONTEC does not provide any guarantee for the integrity of data on hard disks.

- In the event of failure or abnormality (foul smells or excessive heat generation), unplug the power
cord immediately and contact your retailer.

- To connect with peripherals, use a grounded, shielded cable.

- The AC cable must use the one that suited the power-supply voltage and the outlet plug used.
(Supplied cable is for 125VAC.)

- Connection USB apparatus

User’s Manual

4

1. Introduction

There is USB apparatus by which current flows conversely to BOXPC through a connection cable at

the time of power supply off of BOXPC. When such apparatus is connected, since 5V power supply
does not turn off completely, BOXPC may be unable to be started. In such a case, please remove
USB apparatus and connect again after a power supply injection. However, please connect again
before performing apparatus detection, when using USB apparatus as a boot device.

- Component Life:
(1) Power supply--- When continuously operating at 40°C, the estimated life expectancy is about

five years(The horizontal installation). However, it decreases according to the
use temperature (high temperature).

(2) Battery--- The internal calendar clock and CMOS RAM are backed by a Lithium primary

battery. The backup time at a temperature of 25°C with the power disconnected is
10 years or more.

(3) FAN--- When continuously operating at 40°C, the estimated life expectancy is about six years.

However, it decreases according to the use temperature (high temperature).

* Replacement of expendables is handled as a repair (there will be a charge).

Before Using the BOX-PC for the First Time

Follow the next steps to set up the BOX-PC:
STEP1 Install the hard disk and set jumper switches.

By referring to the information in this chapter, set the BOX-PC.

STEP2 Connect cables.

Connect necessary external devices, such as a printer and a CRT, to the BOX-PC using
appropriate cables .

STEP3 Turn on the power.

After verifying that you have correctly followed steps 1 and 2, turn on the power. If you
feel something is wrong after turning on the power, turn off the power immediately and
check to see if the BOX-PC has been set up correctly.

STEP4 Set up BIOS.

By referring to Chapter 4, set up BIOS. This setup requires a keyboard and a display.
* Before using the BOX-PC, be sure to execute "Load Optimized Defaults" to initialize the

BIOS settings to their default values. (See Chapter 4, "Main Menu.")

Figure 3.10. Removing the Hard Disk Bracket

(2) Install the hard disk (silicon disk) to the hard disk bracket. Plug the HDD into the socket first, then

fasten it with four screws.

Fasten the disk using the outer or inner hole depending on the model you are using. (The figure

below shows an example that uses the inner screw hole.)

Figure 3.11. Installing the Hard Disk to the bracket

CAUTION

Connect the HDD cable in alignment with pins from the left end of the connector on the HDD side.

Four master/slave setting pins are left unconnected on the right side. Be aware that connecting the
power with the connector misaligned will damage the cable.
