2.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:

Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in

permanent damage to the TANK-800 and severe injury to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,

including the TANK-800. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore

critical that whenever the TANK-800 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.

TANK-800 Embedded System

 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-800, place it on an

antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the TANK-800.

2.2 Unpacking Precautions

When the TANK-800 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-800 does not fall

out of the box.

 Make sure all the components shown in Section

2.1.

2.3 are present.

3.9 Redundant Power

The TANK-800 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 3-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:

Page 40

TANK-800 Embedded System

 Power 1 (terminal block): 9 V (+/-0.3 V) ~ 36 V  Power 2 (DC jack): 10.5 V (+/-0.3 V) ~ 36 V

Figure 3-32: 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 (

The following sections describe how the redundant power works in ACC On mode and

ACC Off mode.

Figure 3-15).

3.9.1 ACC ON

NOTE:

In ACC On mode, the Power 1 connector must connect to ACC on

signal to be able to control the system power.

The ACC On mode is designed for vehicle applications. When the TANK-800 is in ACC

On mode, the main power input is Power 1 connector and the backup power is from Power

2 connector.

Page 41

3.9.1.1 Boot-up

When both power connectors are connected to power source with over 9 V power input,

the two power LEDs on the front panel remain off until the ACC ON signal jump from low to high. The user can choose to use AT power mode or ATX power mode to control

the system. The following flow diagrams show the boot-up process and the LED status in

AT and ATX power modes.

TANK-800 Embedded System

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. This tool provides quick and easy shortcuts for creating a backup and

reverting to that backup or reverting to the factory default settings.

NOTE:

The latest One Key Recovery software provides an auto recovery

function that allows a system running Microsoft Windows OS to

automatically restore from the factory default image after encountering

a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) or a hang for around 10 minutes.

Please refer to Section

The IEI One Key Recovery tool menu is shown below.

Figure A-1: IEI One Key Recovery Tool Menu

Prior to using the IEI One Key Recovery tool (as shown in

restore Windows

1. Hardware and BIOS setup (see Section

system, five setup procedures are required.

A.2.5)

Page 77

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

TANK-800 Embedded System

of each function is described in Section

NOTE:

The initial setup procedures for Linux system are described in

Section

A.3.

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.

A.5.

Page 78

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

TANK-800 Embedded System

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% Windows® CE 6.0 36 MB 28 MB 77%

NOTE:

Specialized tools are required to change the partition size if the

operating system is already installed.

A.1.2 Supported Operating System

The recovery CD is compatible with both Microsoft Windows and Linux operating system

(OS). The supported OS versions are listed below.

 Microsoft Windows

o Windows XP (Service Pack 2 or 3 required) o Windows Vista o Windows 7 o Windows CE 5.0 o Windows CE 6.0 o Windows XP Embedded
