Handling Precautions
Be sure to read the following precautions before using your BOX-PC so
that you may use it trouble free for many years to come:
• Do not use or store the equipment where it is exposed to extremely
high or low temperature or to an abrupt change in temperature.
Examples: - Under direct sunlight
- Near a heat source
• Do not use or store the equipment in a highly humid or dusty place. It
is very dangerous to use the equipment with water, liquid, or
conductive dust left inside. If the equipment must be used in such an
unfavorable environment, install it in a dusttight structure such as a
dust-proof control panel.
• Do not use or store the equipment where it is subject to shock or
vibration.
• Do not use the equipment near a device generating a strong magnetic
field or noise, or the field or noise may cause the equipment to
malfunction.
• Do not use or store the equipment where it is exposed to any chemical
directly or as vapor in the air.
• The heat sink on top of the equipment may heat up to cause a burn.
Do not touch the heat sink directly when the equipment is on or
immediately after turning the power supply off. Avoid installing the
equipment where one can inadvertently touch the heat sink.
• To clean the equipment, wipe it carefully with a soft cloth damped
with water or a solution of neutral detergent. Keep in mind that using
a volatile solvent, such as benzine or thinner, or a chemical can cause
the coating to peel or discolor.
• For continuous operation with a hard disk drive (HDD), be sure to use
the HDD in standby mode. Using the HDD not in standby mode for
continuous operation considerably shortens the lifespan.
(For details, refer to the warning document attached to the optional
product (2.5inch HDD).
• Be sure to unplug the power cable before mounting or demounting an
expansion board (on Model EP) or before connecting or
disconnecting a cable to any connector.
• CONTEC bears absolutely no responsibility for the equipment which
has been modified.
• If you find any fault or abnormal symptom (such as an unusual smell
or overheat), unplug the power cable first and consult your local
retailer or the CONTEC.
• Use an AC cable which conforms to the rated supply voltage and wall
outlet to be used. (The attached cable is for 125VAC.)
IPC-BX/M560(PCW)ii
• Life Expectancy of Constituent Parts
• Power supply
Assuming continuous use at 25°C, the expected life of the power
supply is approximately 60,000 hours. This may be lower given
use at higher temperatures.
• Battery
A lithium primary battery is used to back up the internal calendar
time and CMOS RAM. The backup time when the power supply
is turned off is more than 10 years at 25°C.
* The replacement of consumables is handled as a repair (charges
will be assessed)

Installing the Hard Disk Drive
(1) Connect the HDD cable bundled with the hard disk (silicon
disk) drive.
Note!
Connect the HDD cable with its connector justified to the left-hand
side of the connector on the back of the HDD. The four right-most
pins in the HDD connector are left unconnected, which are
master/slave setting pins. Use meticulous care when connecting the
HDD cable because turning the power on with the connector shifted
to the right may damage the HDD and/or the cable.
(2) Fasten the HDD onto the HDD bracket using four screws with
the cable passing through the slot in the HDD bracket.
• Use upper screw holes in the HDD bracket.
• Use either inner or outer screw holes in the HDD bracket,
depending on the type of the HDD you are installing. (The inner
screw holes are used in the example in Figure 3.4. below.)
(3) Connect the other end of the HDD cable to CN1 on the main unit
and mount the HDD bracket on the main unit using four screws.
(4) Close the top cover and tighten the screws.

BOX-PC can use the following types of SO-DIMMs available on
the market instead:
• Package type : 144pin small outline DIMM
• Specifications : 3.3V, access time of 60ns or less
• Capacity : 16/32/64/128MB
• Architecture : SDRAM
• Optional memory * : 64MB : PC-MSD64-144
* Using a memory product other than the dedicated option may
yield unpredictable results.

In half-duplex mode, the transmission buffer must be controlled to
prevent transmit data from causing a collision. The BOX-PC uses
the RTS signal and bit 1 in the modem control register to control
transmit data.

Functions of Components
Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer is activated by output of data (this can be
undefined) to I/O port address 0139h. Executing the out instruction
to the same port within the pre-set time-out period retriggers the
watchdog timer. If a time-out occurs, the watchdog timer generates
a reset or an NMI interrupt depending on the port (013Bh) setting. It
can also supply an alarm-out output to an external device depending
on the port (013Bh) setting.
The time-out period can be set between 10msec and 300sec (port
setting, 013Ah).
The watchdog timer stops by reading I/O port address 0139h). The
alarm-out output is also canceled at the same time.
The alarm-out signal is output from PO2/WDT (12-pin) in the RAS
connector. It is canceled at a reset.
The alarm-out output can be set to the state which exists when the
power is turned on by the switch (SW1), when the watchdog timer is
started, or when the watchdog timer causes a time-out.
The I/O addresses used for RAS features can be changed by setting
SW1.
Specifications
• Time-out period : 10msec to 300sec (Port setting)
• Interrupt or reset : A reset or NMI is generated when a timeout occurs. (Port setting)

Touch-panel serial interface
For an LCD with a touch panel, the BOX-PC has a serial port
(SERIAL3) for communication with the touch panel. The I/O
address range and IRQ or the "unused" status can be set by BIOS
Setup (described in Chapter 4). (Note that the I/O address range or
IRQ assigned to any other device cannot be assigned.)
When installing touch panel driver software (option), specify the
values saved by BIOS Setup.
