2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in
permanent damage to the TANK-700 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the TANK-700. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the TANK-700 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 TANK-700, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the TANK-700.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the TANK-700 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the TANK-700 does not fall
out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section
2.1.
2.3 are present.

3.11 Redundant Power
The TANK-700 is a system that supports redundant power. The redundant power input
increases the reliability of the system and prevents data loss and system corruption from
sudden power failure. The system can instantly and uninterruptedly switch to the second
power input when the main power is unavailable or in low voltage capacity.
There are two power connectors on the rear panel. Power 1 connector is a 4-pin terminal
block that supports ACC On signal. Power 2 connector is a DIN connector that can directly
connect to a power adapter. The supported power input voltages are:
Power 1: 9 V (+/-0.3 V) ~ 36 V
Power 2: 10.5 V (+/-0.3 V) ~ 36 V
TANK-700 Embedded System
Page 42
Figure 3-35: Power Connectors
When the system is in ACC On mode, the main power input is from Power 1 connector;
when the system is in ACC Off mode, the main power input is from Power 2 connector.
The ACC on/off mode is selected by the ACC mode switch on the rear panel (
3-13).
The following sections describe how the redundant power works in ACC On mode and
ACC Off mode.

A.1 One Key Recovery Introduction
The IEI one key recovery is an easy-to-use front end for the Norton Ghost system backup
and recovery tool. The one key recovery provides quick and easy shortcuts for creating a
backup and reverting to that backup or for reverting to the factory default settings.
The IEI One Key Recovery tool menu is shown below.

After completing the five initial setup procedures as described above, users can access
the recovery tool by pressing <F3> while booting up the system. The detailed information
of each function is described in Section
75A.4.
NOTE:
The initial setup procedures for Linux system are described in
Section

A.1.1 System Requirement
NOTE:
The recovery CD can only be used with IEI products. The software will
fail to run and a warning message will appear when used on non-IEI
hardware.
TANK-700 Embedded System
To create the system backup, the main storage device must be split into two partitions
(three partitions for Linux). The first partition will be for the operating system, while the
second partition will be invisible to the operating system and contain the backup made by
the one key recovery software.
The partition created for recovery images must be big enough to contain both the factory
default image and the user backup image. The size must be calculated before creating the
partitions. Please take the following table as a reference when calculating the size of the
partition.
OS OS Image after Ghost Compression Ratio
Windows® 7 7 GB 5 GB 70%
Windows® XPE 776 MB 560 MB 70%

NOTE:
Specialized tools are required to change the partition size if the
operating system is already installed.
