3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in
permanent damage to the uIBX-200-R21/VX800 and severe injury to
the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the uIBX-200-R21/VX800. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the uIBX-200-R21/VX800 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-200-R21/VX800, place it
on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
uIBX-200-R21/VX800.
3.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the uIBX-200-R21/VX800 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-200-R21/VX800
does not fall out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section
3.1.
3.3 are present.

uIBX-200-R21/VX800 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-200-R21/VX800, installation instructions and configuration options.
DANGER! Disconnect Power: Power to the uIBX-200-R21/VX800 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-200-R21/VX800 is opened while the power cord is
still connected to an electrical outlet.
Qualified Personnel: The uIBX-200-R21/VX800 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-200-R21/VX800. The uIBX-200-R21/VX800’s cooling vents must not be
obstructed by any objects. Blocking the vents can cause overheating of the
uIBX-200-R21/VX800. Leave at least 5 cm of clearance around the
uIBX-200-R21/VX800 to prevent overheating.
Grounding: The uIBX-200-R21/VX800 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-200-R21/VX800.
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-200-R21/VX800 Embedded System
The hardware jumpers must be set before installation. Jumpers are shown in Table 4-1.

uIBX-200-R21/VX800 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.
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
2. Create partitions (see Section
system, five setup procedures are required.
73A.2.1)
73A.2.2)
3. Install operating system, drivers and system applications (see Section
4. Build-up recovery partition (see Section
5. Create factory default image (see Section
73A.2.4)
73A.2.5)
73Figure A-1) to backup or
73A.2.3)
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
73A.4.
NOTE:
The initial setup procedures for Linux system are described in
Section
73A.3.
Page 69
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.
uIBX-200-R21/VX800 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%
Windows® CE 6.0 36 MB 28 MB 77%
Page 70
uIBX-200-R21/VX800 Embedded System
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

A.2 Setup Procedure for Windows
Prior to using the recovery tool to backup or restore Windows system, a few setup
procedures are required.
Step 1: Hardware and BIOS setup (see Section
Step 2: Create partitions (see Section
73A.2.2)
73A.2.1)
Step 3: Install operating system, drivers and system applications (see Section

The detailed descriptions are described in the following sections.
NOTE:
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
74A.3.
74A.2.3)
A.2.1 Hardware and BIOS Setup
Step 1: Make sure the system is powered off and unplugged.
Step 2: Install a hard drive or SSD in the system. An unformatted and unpartitioned disk
is recommended.
Step 3: Connect an optical disk drive to the system and insert the recovery CD.
Page 72

A.3 Setup Procedure for Linux
The initial setup procedures for Linux system are mostly the same with the procedure for
Microsoft Windows. Please follow the steps below to setup recovery tool for Linux OS.
uIBX-200-R21/VX800 Embedded System
Step 1: Hardware and BIOS setup. Refer to Section
Step 2: Install Linux operating system. Make sure to install GRUB (v0.97 or earlier)
MBR type and Ext3 partition type. Leave enough space on the hard drive to
create the recover partition later.
74A.2.1.
NOTE:
If the Linux OS is not installed with GRUB (v0.97 or earlier) and Ext3,
the Symantec Ghost may not function properly.
While installing Linux OS, please create two partitions:
Partition 1: /
Partition 2: SWAP
Page 84
uIBX-200-R21/VX800 Embedded System
NOTE:
Please reserve enough space for partition 3 for saving recovery
images.
