5 Maintenance
Page 38
IOPS-Q67/H61 Pluggable Module PC
WARNING:
Take Anti-Static precautions whenever maintenance is being carried out on the
system components. Failure to take anti-static precautions can cause
permanent system damage. For more details on anti-static precautions, please
refer to Section
82.2.1.
5.1 System Maintenance Overview
NOTE:
When doing maintenance operations on the system, please follow the
instructions in this chapter. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to
personal injury and system damage.
To preserve the working integrity of the IOPS-Q67/H61, the system must be properly
maintained. If internal components need replacement, the proper maintenance
procedures must be followed to ensure the system can continue to operate normally.
5.2 Component Replacement Procedure
WARNING!
Users are not advised to attempt to repair or replace any internal or
external components of the IOPS-Q67/H61 embedded system other
than those listed below. If any other components fail or need
replacement, contact the IEI reseller or vendor you purchased the
IOPS-Q67/H61 from or contact an IEI sales representative directly. To
contact an IEI sales representative, please send an email to
31sales@iei.com.tw.
The system components listed below can all be replaced if they fail:

5.2.1 mSATA Replacement
The IOPS-Q67/H61 is preinstalled with one mSATA module. To replace the mSATA
module, please refer to the diagram and instructions below.
Step 1: Open the system cover by removing the retention screws shown on
5-1.

Figure 5-2: PCIe Mini Card Slot Location
Step 3: Remove the mSATA module. Push the two spring clips in to release the
mSATA module.
Step 4: Insert a new mSATA module into the socket at an angle. Line up the notch
on the card with the notch on the connector. Slide the mSATA module into the
socket at an angle of about 20º (
Figure 5-3).

Step 5: Push down until the card clips into place. Push the other end of the card
down until it clips into place on the plastic connector.Step 0:
5.2.2 SO-DIMM Replacement
WARNING:
Using incorrectly specified SO-DIMM may cause permanently damage
the IOPS-Q67/H61. Please make sure the purchased SO-DIMM
complies with the memory specifications of the IOPS-Q67/H61.
To replace a SO-DIMM memory module into a SO-DIMM socket, please follow the steps
below.
IOPS-Q67/H61 Pluggable Module PC
Step 1: Remove the SO-DIMM access panel. Place the IOPS-Q67/H61 on an
anti-static pad with the bottom panel facing up. Remove the SO-DIMM access
panel retention screw shown in
Figure 5-4.
Figure 5-4: SO-DIMM Access Panel Retention Screw

Step 3: Remove the SO-DIMM by releasing the arms on the SO-DIMM socket. (82Figure
5-5).
Figure 5-5: SO-DIMM Removal
Step 4: Align the new SO-DIMM with the socket. The SO-DIMM must be oriented in
such a way that the notch in the middle of the SO-DIMM must be aligned with
the plastic bridge in the socket (
82Figure 5-6).
Step 5: Insert the SO-DIMM. Push the SO-DIMM chip into the socket at an angle
82Figure 5-6).

Page 58
IOPS-Q67/H61 Pluggable Module PC
NOTE:
The following discussion applies to DOS environment. IEI support is
contacted or the IEI website visited for specific drivers for more
sophisticated operating systems, e.g., Windows and Linux.
The Watchdog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone systems can always recover
from catastrophic conditions that cause the CPU to crash. This condition may have
occurred by external EMI or a software bug. When the CPU stops working correctly,
Watchdog Timer either performs a hardware reset (cold boot) or a Non-Maskable Interrupt
(NMI) to bring the system back to a known state.
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 C-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. While 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:
When exiting a program it is necessary to disable the Watchdog Timer,
otherwise the system resets.
Example program:
; INITIAL TIMER PERIOD COUNTER
;
W_LOOP:
IOPS-Q67/H61 Pluggable Module PC
MOV AX, 6F02H ;setting the time-out value
MOV BL, 30 ;time-out value is 48 seconds
INT 15H
