3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in
permanent damage to the uIBX-US15WP and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the uIBX-US15WP. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the uIBX-US15WP 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 uIBX-US15WP, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
uIBX-US15WP.
3.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the uIBX-US15WP is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the uIBX-US15WP does not
fall out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section
3.1.
3.3 are present.

uIBX-US15WP Embedded System
4.1 Installation Precautions
During installation, be aware of the precautions below:
Read the user manual: The user manual provides a complete description of
the uIBX-US15WP, installation instructions and configuration options.
DANGER! Disconnect Power: Power to the uIBX-US15WP must be
disconnected during the installation process, or before any attempt is made to
access the rear panel. Electric shock and personal injury might occur if the
rear panel of the uIBX-US15WP is opened while the power cord is still
connected to an electrical outlet.
Qualified Personnel: The uIBX-US15WP must be installed and operated
only by trained and qualified personnel. Maintenance, upgrades, or repairs
may only be carried out by qualified personnel who are familiar with the
associated dangers.
Air Circulation: Make sure there is sufficient air circulation when installing the
uIBX-US15WP. The uIBX-US15WP’s cooling vents must not be obstructed by
any objects. Blocking the vents can cause overheating of the uIBX-US15WP.
Leave at least 5 cm of clearance around the uIBX-US15WP to prevent
overheating.
Grounding: The uIBX-US15WP should be properly grounded. The voltage
feeds must not be overloaded. Adjust the cabling and provide external
overcharge protection per the electrical values indicated on the label attached
to the back of the uIBX-US15WP.
Page 15
4.2 Jumper Settings
NOTE:
A jumper is a metal bridge used to close
an electrical circuit. It consists of two or
three metal pins and a small metal clip
(often protected by a plastic cover) that
slides over the pins to connect them. To
CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means
connecting the pins of the jumper with
the plastic clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the plastic clip
from a jumper.
uIBX-US15WP Embedded System
The hardware jumpers must be set before installation. Jumpers are shown in Table 4-1.

A One Key Recovery
Page 64
uIBX-US15WP 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. 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.
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.
A.1.1 System Requirement
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%
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
Page 65
uIBX-US15WP Embedded System
o Windows 7
o Windows CE 5.0
o Windows CE 6.0
o Windows XP Embedded
Linux
o Fedora Core 12 (Constantine)
o Fedora Core 11 (Leonidas)
o Fedora Core 10 (Cambridge)
o Fedora Core 8 (Werewolf)
o Fedora Core 7 (Moonshine)
o RedHat RHEL-5.4
o RedHat 9 (Ghirke)
o Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid)
o Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy)
o Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy)
o Debian 5.0 (Lenny)
o Debian 4.0 (Etch)
o SuSe 11.2
o SuSe 10.3
NOTE:
Installing unsupported OS versions may cause the recovery tool to fail.
Page 66
uIBX-US15WP Embedded System
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.2 Setup Procedure for Windows
Prior to using the recovery tool to backup or restore system, a few setup procedures are
required.
Step 1: Hardware and BIOS setup
Step 2: Create partitions
Step 3: Install operating system, drivers and system applications.
Step 4: Build-up recovery partition
Step 5: Create factory default imageStep 0:
The detailed descriptions are described in the following sections.

The setup procedures described below are for Microsoft Windows
operating system users. For Linux system, most setup procedures are
the same with Microsoft Windows except for several steps which is
described in Section
A.3.
A.2.1 Hardware and BIOS Setup
Step 1: Make sure the system is powered off and unplugged.
Step 2: Install a hard driver or SSD in the uIBX-US15WP. An unformatted and
unpartitioned disk is recommended.
Step 3: Connect an optical disk drive to the uIBX-US15WP and insert the recovery CD.
Step 4: Turn on the system.

Please continue to the following procedure: Build-up Recovery Partition.Step 0:
A.2.3 Install Operating System, Drivers and Applications
Install the operating system onto the unlabelled partition. The partition labeled as
"Recovery" is for use by the system recovery tool and should not be used for installing the
operating system or any applications.
NOTE:
The operating system installation program may offer to reformat the
chosen partition. DO NOT format the partition again. The partition has
already been formatted and is ready for installing the new operating
system.
To install the operating system, insert the operating system installation CD into the optical
drive. Restart the computer and follow the installation instructions.
