3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
ICECARE-07 may result in permanent damage to the ICECARE-07
and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the ICECARE-07. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the ICECARE-07 is accessed internally, or any other electrical
component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
ICECARE-07 Mobile Field Assistant
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: - Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the ICECARE-07, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
ICECARE-07.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
3.2 Installation Precautions
When installing the ICECARE-07, please follow the precautions listed below:
Power turned off: When installing the ICECARE-07, make sure the power is
off. Failing to turn off the power may cause severe injury to the body and/or
damage to the system.
Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify
Page 16
onboard functionalities.
ICECARE-07 Mobile Field Assistant
Anti-static Discharge : If a user open the rear panel of the ICECARE-07, to
configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground themselves
first and wear and anti-static wristband.

5.1 System Maintenance Introduction
If the components of the ICECARE-07 fail, they must be replaced. Please contact the
system reseller or vendor to purchase the replacement parts.
5.2 Motherboard Replacement
A user cannot replace a motherboard. If the motherboard fails, it must be shipped back to
IEI to be replaced. Please contact the system vendor, reseller or an IEI sales person
directly.
5.3 Back Cover Removal
WARNING:
Before removing the back cover, make sure that the system power is
turned off and all power to the system has been disconnected. Failing
to do so may cause severe damage to the ICECARE-07 and injury to
the user.
To access the ICECARE-07 internal components, the back cover must be removed. To
remove the back cover, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Rotate the battery locks to FREE position, and then remove the battery packs

6.1 Peripheral Interface Connectors
The ICECARE-07 motherboard comes with a number of peripheral interface connectors.
The connector locations are shown in
the on-board connectors are also indicated in the diagrams. The connector pinouts for
these connectors are listed in the following sections.

6.2 Internal Peripheral Connectors
Internal peripheral connectors are found on the motherboard and are only accessible
when the motherboard is outside of the chassis. The table below shows a list of the
peripheral interface connectors on the ICECARE-07 motherboard. Pinouts of these
connectors can be found in the following sections.
The precautions outlined in this chapter should be strictly followed.
Failure to follow these precautions may result in permanent damage to
the ICECARE-07.
A.1 Safety Precautions
Please follow the safety precautions outlined in the sections that follow:
A.1.1 General Safety Precautions
Please ensure the following safety precautions are adhered to at all times.
Follow the electrostatic precautions outlined below whenever the
ICECARE-07 is opened.
Make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disco nnected
whenever the ICECARE-07 is being installed, moved or modified.
Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range.
Doing so may cause fire and/or an electrical shock.
Electric shocks can occur if the ICECARE-07 chassis is opened when the
ICECARE-07 is running.
Do not drop or insert any objects into the ventilation openings of the
ICECARE-07.
If considerable amounts of dust, water, or fluids enter the ICECARE-07,
turn off the power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact the
ICECARE-07 vendor.
DO NOT:
o Drop the ICECARE-07 against a hard surface.
o Strike or exert excessive force onto the LCD panel.
o Touch any of the LCD panels with a sharp object
o In a site where the ambient temperature exceeds the rated temperature
Page 77
A.1.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
ICECARE-07 may result in permanent damage to the ICECARE-07
and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the ICECARE-07. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the ICECARE-07 is opened and any of the electrical components
are handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
ICECARE-07 Mobile Field Assistant
help to prevent ESD from damaging any electrical component.
Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any
grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component is
handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the
ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical
component, place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD
damage.
Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the
electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.

ICECARE-07 Mobile Field Assistant
A.1.3 Product Disposal
CAUTION:
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Only
certified engineers should replace the on-board battery.
Dispose of used batteries according to instructions and local
regulations.
Outside the European Union - If you wish to dispose of used electrical and
electronic products outside the European Union, please contact your local
authority so as to comply with the correct disposal method.
Within the European Union:
EU-wide legislation, as implemented in each Member State, requires that
waste electrical and electronic products carrying the mark (left) must be
disposed of separately from normal household waste. This includes
monitors and electrical accessories, such as signal cables or power cords.
When you need to dispose of your display products, please follow the
guidance of your local authority, or ask the shop where you purchased the product. The
mark on electrical and electronic products only applies to the current European Union
Member States.
Please follow the national guidelines for electrical and electronic product disposal.
A.2 Maintenance and Cleaning Precautions
When maintaining or cleaning the ICECARE-07, please follow the guidelines below.
A.2.1 Maintenance and Cleaning
Prior to cleaning any part or component of the ICECARE-07, please read the details
below.
Page 79
Except for the LCD panel, never spray or squirt liquids directly onto any other
components. To clean the LCD panel, gently wipe it with a piece of soft dry
cloth or a slightly moistened cloth.
The interior of the ICECARE-07 does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away
from the ICECARE-07 interior.
Be cautious of all small removable components when vacuuming the
ICECARE-07.
Turn the ICECARE-07 off before cleaning the ICECARE-07.
Never drop any objects or liquids through the openings of the ICECARE-07.
Be cautious of any possible allergic reactions to solvents or chemicals used
when cleaning the ICECARE-07.
Avoid eating, drinking and smoking within vicinity of the ICECARE-07.
A.2.2 Cleaning Tools
ICECARE-07 Mobile Field Assistant
Some components in the ICECARE-07 may only be cleaned using a product specifically
designed for the purpose. In such case, the product will be explicitly mentioned in the
cleaning tips. Below is a list of items to use when cleaning the ICECARE-07.
Cloth – Although paper towels or tissues can be used, a soft, clean piece of
cloth is recommended when cleaning the ICECARE-07.
Water or rubbing alcohol – A cloth moistened with water or rubbing alcohol
can be used to clean the ICECARE-07.
Using solvents – The use of solvents is not recommended when cleaning the
ICECARE-07 as they may damage the plastic parts.
Vacuum cleaner – Using a vacuum specifically designed for computers is
one of the best methods of cleaning the ICECARE-07. Dust and dirt can
restrict the airflow in the ICECARE-07 and cause its circuitry to corrode.
Cotton swabs - Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are
excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas.
Foam swabs - Whenever possible, it is best to use lint free swabs such as
foam swabs for cleaning.
