3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
ICELOG-07 may result in permanent damage to the ICELOG-07 and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the ICELOG-07. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the ICELOG-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
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 ICELOG-07, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
ICELOG-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 ICELOG-07, please follow the precautions listed below:
Power turned off: When installing the ICELOG-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
onboard functionalities.
Page 13
Anti-static Discharge: If a user open the rear panel of the ICELOG-07, to
configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground themselves
first and wear and anti-static wristband.

WARNING:
The precautions outlined in this chapter should be strictly followed.
Failure to follow these precautions may result in permanent damage to
the ICELOG-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.
ICELOG-07 Mobile Elite Manager
Follow the electrostatic precautions outlined below whenever the
ICELOG-07 is opened.
Make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected
whenever the ICELOG-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 ICELOG-07 chassis is opened when the
ICELOG-07 is running.
If considerable amounts of dust, water, or fluids enter the ICELOG-07,
turn off the power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact the
ICELOG-07 vendor.
DO NOT:
o Drop the ICELOG-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

A.1.3 Product Disposal
CAUTION:
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by and 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 ICELOG-07, please follow the guidelines below.
A.2.1 Maintenance and Cleaning
Page 50
Prior to cleaning any part or component of the ICELOG-07, please read the details below.
ICELOG-07 Mobile Elite Manager
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 ICELOG-07 does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away
from the ICELOG-07 interior.
Be cautious of all small removable components when vacuuming the
ICELOG-07.
Turn the ICELOG-07 off before cleaning the ICELOG-07.
Never drop any objects or liquids through the openings of the ICELOG-07.
Be cautious of any possible allergic reactions to solvents or chemicals used
when cleaning the ICELOG-07.
Avoid eating, drinking and smoking within vicinity of the ICELOG-07.
A.2.2 Cleaning Tools
Some components in the ICELOG-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 ICELOG-07.
Cloth – Although paper towels or tissues can be used, a soft, clean piece of
cloth is recommended when cleaning the ICELOG-07.
Water or rubbing alcohol – A cloth moistened with water or rubbing alcohol
can be used to clean the ICELOG-07.
Using solvents – The use of solvents is not recommended when cleaning the
ICELOG-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 ICELOG-07. Dust and dirt can restrict
the airflow in the ICELOG-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.

The Watchdog Timer is a hardware-based timer that attempts to restart the system when it
stops working. The system may stop working because of external EMI or software bugs.
The Watchdog Timer ensures that standalone systems like ATMs will automatically
attempt to restart in the case of system problems.
A BIOS function call (INT 15H) is used to control the Watchdog Timer.
INT 15H:
AH – 6FH Sub-function:
AL – 2: Sets the Watchdog Timer’s period.
BL: Time-out value (Its unit-second is dependent on the item “Watchdog
Timer unit select” in CMOS setup).
Table B-1: AH-6FH Sub-function
Call sub-function 2 to set the time-out period of Watchdog Timer first. If the time-out value
is not zero, the Watchdog Timer starts counting down. When the timer value reaches zero,
the system resets. To ensure that this reset condition does not occur, calling sub-function
2 must periodically refresh the Watchdog Timer. However, the watchdog timer is disabled
if the time-out value is set to zero.
A tolerance of at least 10% must be maintained to avoid unknown routines within the
operating system (DOS), such as disk I/O that can be very time-consuming.

NOTE:
The Watchdog Timer is activated through software. The software
application that activates the Watchdog Timer must also deactivate it
when closed. If the Watchdog Timer is not deactivated, the system will
automatically restart after the Timer has finished its countdown.
