1.10. For Your Safety
Your new DIGITAL-LOGIC product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary to ensure its compliance with electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a long, fault-free life. However, this life expectancy can be drastically reduced by improper treatment during unpacking and installation. Therefore, in the interest of your own safety and for the correct operation of your new DIGITAL-LOGIC product, please comply with the following guidelines.
Attention!
All work on this device must only be carried out by sufficiently skilled personnel.
Caution, Electric Shock!
Before installing your new DIGITAL-LOGIC product, always ensure that your mains power is switched off. This applies also to the installation of piggybacks or peripherals. Serious electrical shock hazards can exist during all installation, repair and maintenance operations with this product. Therefore, always unplug the power cable and any other cables which provide external voltage before performing work.
Warning, ESD Sensitive Device!
Electronic boards and their components are sensitive to static electricity. In order to ensure product integrity at all times, be careful during all handling and examinations of this product.
1.11. RoHS Commitment
DIGITAL-LOGIC AG is committed to develop and produce environmentally friendly products according to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive (2002/95/EC) and the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive (2002/96/EC) established by the European Union. The RoHS directive was adopted in February 2003 by the European Union and came into effect on July 1, 2006. It is not a law but a directive, which restricts the use of six hazardous materials in the manufacturing of various types of electronic and electrical equipment. It is closely linked with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) 2002/96/EC, which has set targets for collection, recycling and recovery of electrical goods and is part of a legislative initiative to solve the problem of huge amounts of toxic e-waste.
Each European Union member state is adopting its own enforcement and implementation policies using the directive as a guide. Therefore, there could be as many different versions of the law as there are states in the EU. Additionally, non-EU countries like China, Japan, or states in the U.S. such as California may have their own regulations for green products, which are similar, but not identical, to the RoHS directive.
DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MPC20/21 Manual V1.2B
10
RoHS is often referred to as the "lead-free" directive but it restricts the use of the following substances:
Lead
Mercury
Cadmium
Chromium VI
PBB and PBDE
The maximum allowable concentration of any of the above mentioned substances is 0.1% (except for Cadmium, which is limited to 0.01%) by weight of homogeneous material. This means that the limits do not apply to the weight of the finished product, or even to a component but to any single substance that could (theoretically) be separated mechanically.
1.11.1. RoHS Compatible Product Design
All DIGITAL-LOGIC standard products comply with RoHS legislation.
Since July 1, 2006, there has been a strict adherence to the use of RoHS compliant electronic and mechanical components during the design-in phase of all DIGITAL-LOGIC standard products.
1.11.2. RoHS Compliant Production Process
DIGITAL-LOGIC selects external suppliers that are capable of producing RoHS compliant devices. These capabilities are verified by:
1. A confirmation from the supplier indicating that their production processes and resulting devices are RoHS compliant.
2. If there is any doubt of the RoHS compliancy, the concentration of the previously mentioned substances in a produced device will be measured. These measurements are carried out by an accredited laboratory.
1.11.3. WEEE Application
The WEEE directive is closely related to the RoHS directive and applies to the following devices:
Large and small household appliances IT equipment Telecommunications equipment (although infrastructure equipment is exempt in some countries) Consumer equipment Lighting equipment – including light bulbs Electronic and electrical tools Toys, leisure and sports equipment Automatic dispensers
It does not apply to fixed industrial plants and tools. The compliance is the responsibility of the company that brings the product to market, as defined in the directive. Components and sub-assemblies are not subject to product compliance. In other words, since DIGITAL-LOGIC does not deliver ready-made products to end users the WEEE directive is not applicable for DIGITAL-LOGIC. Users are nevertheless encouraged to properly recycle all electronic products that have reached the end of their life cycle.

3. SAFETY REGULATIONS
Safety verifications follow the guidelines adapted from the US Army Communication and Electronics Command Supplement (1992 version) 1 to AR385-16.
3.1. Safety: Power-On Indicator
The green power indicator is located in the front of the computer system. [MIL-STD-1472D]
3.2. Safety: Coded and Marked Connectors
All connectors (plugs and receptacles) are coded and marked to prevent insertion of the wrong plug into a receptacle or other mating unit [MIL-STD-1472D]. Depending on the mounted replicator unit, the connectors are PC-Style, DSUB or MIL versions. The male connectors are de-energized when disconnected. [MIL-STD­454M]
3.3. Protection of the Supply Input Current
Note…
The computer system protects the internal supply from overcurrent by an external fuse of 6.3amp. In case of an overcurrent the fuse opens the main circuit and interrupts the fault current. [MIL­STD-454M]
3.4. Safety: Wrong Polarization on the Power Input
Attention!
The supply input is protected against wrong polarization with a serial diode. This diode withstands current up to 28Volts.
3.5. Safety: Protection of the Output Currents
There is no overcurrent protection on any peripheral port. The following table shows the maximum available current at each peripheral connector:
Connector Nominal maximum current
USB 0.5 Amp. @ 5V KB/MS 0.1 Amp. @ 5V VGA 0.1 Amp. @ 5V
DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MPC20/21 Manual V1.2B
20
3.6. Safety: Load Dump Protection in 12V/24V systems
There is no integrated protection against load dump!
If the computer system will be installed in a vehicle (car, truck, train), an external, overvoltage protection must be attached. Connecting a zinc oxide based metal oxide varistor (MOV) directly at the supply input connector is recommended. Use a typical 28V clamp voltage for the
12/24V systems.
Example: Varistor: B72220S300K (Infineon) Vbreak=30V
3.7. Ground Potential
All interface connectors are permanently in contact with the ground (earth). The system must be grounded with a ground wire (colors green with yellow stripes). [NFPA 7087]
The ground must have the capacity to safely conduct any current that might be imposed thereon. The ground is wired separately from the electrical ground.
The leakage current is: 5 uA at 28 V.
The ground cable must be connected separately to the chassis or through the power connector.

10-30V
3.8. Power On/Off Switch
The power switch is clearly identified and located on the front panel. [MIL-STD-545M]
The power on/off switch does not cut all electricity to the system. In the “off” position, a microcontroller is still working, to supervise wakeup events (switch, Wake on LAN). [MIL STD 454M] In this state, the system is consuming approximately 300mW.
To turn on the system, the power switch must be pressed for at least one second. While running, the system can be forced to shut off by pressing the on/off switch for 4 seconds.
Be sure to disconnect the power supply before opening the system.
DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MPC20/21 Manual V1.2B
21
3.9. Safety: Batteries Inside the Device
Caution, Electric Shock!
The system has an integrated backup lithium battery (RTC). The battery compartment is not vented. The system casing prevents the operator from a possible exploding battery cell.
3.10. Protection against Over-Heating
The computer system integrates temperature-sensitive components such as:
Hard disk (max. 55°C) The CPU with a max. junction temperature of 105°C
Do not cover the device with paper, textiles or other objects. The minimum space between the housing and the next object is 50mm on each side. Make sure to allow enough airflow to the computer system when the device is assembled.
Protect the computer system from solar radiation or other thermal energy exposure.
Never place the functioning computer system in a closed case or box; or the inside air will heat above the maximum temperature and the system will be destroyed.
Keep the surface of the computer system free of dust, oil and other isolating materials, to prevent a reduction of the cooling efficiency.
3.11. Mechanical Safety: Safe Assembly and Mounting
The computer system must be fixed with a minimum of 4 screws using the mounting holes. It is very dangerous to place the device on the seat of a vehicle (car, truck, train, boat), while driving. In case of an accident, the device may hit a passenger or window.
Never drill new mounting holes into the chassis of the computer system because the internal electronics or hard disk may be damaged. Use only the mounting holes for assembly.
3.12. Environmental Safety: At 25°C No “Hot” Surfaces
Note…
When the system runs at +25°C ambient temperature, no surfaces or other operating elements will have temperatures above +60°C. [MIL-STD-454M]
DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MPC20/21 Manual V1.2B
22
3.13. Environmental Safety: No Release of Toxins
Note…
As long as the computer system is used in the specified operating temperature range, no toxic, corrosive, or explosive fumes or vapors are exposed. [MIL-STD-454M]
3.14. Environmental Safety: Laser Devices
Note…
No assembled CD/DVD-Drive included.
3.15. Environmental Safety: Noise Emission
Note…
This computer system is a low noise system; the level is less than 15 dbA.
3.16. Environmental Safety: Hazardous Environs
The computer system must not be used in a hazardous area because there is nothing to prevent spontaneous combustion. Never use the system in explosive gas or vapor, flammable dusts or ignitable fibers and filings.
3.17. Environmental Safety: Humidity and Water Spray
The computer system is not protected from splashing water.
The protection is IP40.
3.18. Safety: Independent Software

9.3. PXE-Boot and PXE-Setup in the BIOS
PXE Protocol
PXE is defined on a foundation of industry-standard Internet protocols and services that are widely deployed in the industry, namely TCP/IP, DHCP, and TFTP. These standardize the form of the interactions between clients and servers. To ensure that the meaning of the client-server interaction is standardized as well, certain vendor option fields in DHCP protocol are used, which are allowed by the DHCP standard. The operations of standard DHCP and/or BOOTP servers (that serve up IP addresses and/or NBPs) will not be disrupted by the use of the extended protocol. Clients and servers that are aware of these extensions will recognize and use this information, and those that do not recognize the extensions will ignore them.
In brief, the PXE protocol operates as follows. The client initiates the protocol by broadcasting a DHCPDISCOVER containing an extension that identifies the request as coming from a client that implements the PXE protocol. Assuming that a DHCP server or a Proxy DHCP server implementing this extended protocol is available, after several intermediate steps, the server sends the client a list of appropriate Boot Servers. The client then discovers a Boot Server of the type selected and receives the name of an executable file on the chosen Boot Server. The client uses TFTP to download the executable from the Boot Server. Finally, the client initiates execution of the downloaded image. At this point, the client’s state must meet certain requirements that provide a predictable execution environment for the image. Important aspects of this environment include the availability of certain areas of the client’s main memory, and the availability of basic network I/O services.
Deployment of servers
On the server end of the client-server interaction there must be available services that are responsible for providing redirection of the client to an appropriate Boot Server. These redirection services may be deployed in two ways:
1. Combined standard DHCP and redirection services.
The DHCP servers that are supplying IP addresses to clients are modified to become, or are replaced by servers that serve up IP addresses for all clients and redirect PXE-enabled clients to Boot Servers as requested.
2. Separate standard DHCP and redirection services.
PXE redirection servers (Proxy DHCP servers) are added to the existing network environment. They respond only to PXE-enabled clients, and provide only redirection to Boot Servers. Each PXE Boot Server must have one or more executables appropriate to the clients that it serves.
