SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Prior to installing, moving and modifying the embedded system, make sure
that the unit’s power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected.
2. Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range. Doing so
may cause fire or an electrical shock.
3. Electric shock can occur if the embedded system is opened. Do not drop or
insert any objects into any openings of the embedded system.
4. Only qualified engineers from certified system integrators or VARs are
allowed to make necessary modifications to the embedded system.
5. If considerable amounts of dust, water, or fluids enter the embedded system,
Precautions
turn off the power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact the
vendor.
6. Explosions may occur with installations in environments where flammable
gases are present.
7. Fault-tolerant and failsafe designs should be implemented with the use of the
embedded system on transportation vehicles, ships, safety/security devices,
or medical devices not related to life-support functions. Users/integrators
should take responsibility for adequate levels of reliability and safety.
8. Preventive designs should be implemented so as to avoid communications
faults between the embedded system and the devices it controls.0.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not drop the embedded system against a hard surface.
2. Do not strike or exert excessive force onto the embedded system.
3. Avoid exposing the embedded system to direct sunlight, dust, or chemical
vapors.
4. Condensation might form inside the embedded system chassis if exposed to
sudden changes in temperature.
5. Carefully route the power cord so that people cannot step on it. Do not place
anything over the power cord.
Page 5
6. If the equipment should be left unused for an extended period of time,
disconnect it from the power source to avoid damage by transient
over-voltage.
7. If any of the following situations arises, get the equipment checked by service
personnel:0.
ECW-281BB6 Embedded System
o The power cord or plug is damaged.
o Liquid has penetrated into the equipment.
o The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
o The equipment does not work properly, or the user cannot get it to work
according to the user manual.
o The equipment has been dropped and damaged.
o The equipment shows obvious signs of breakage.
WARNING!
Any changes or modifications made to the equipment that are not
expressly approved by the relevant standards could void the authority
to operate the equipment.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Note the following precautions before beginning to clean the embedded system.
When cleaning any single part or component of the computer, please read and
understand the details below fully.
Never spray or squirt liquids directly onto any computer component. To clean
the device, please rub it with a piece of dry and soft cloth or a slightly
moistened cloth.
Page 6
The interior of the embedded system does not require cleaning. Keep fluids
away from the embedded system and the interior of it.
Turn the system off before cleaning the embedded system.
Never drop any objects through the openings of the embedded system or get
the circuit board damp or wet.
ECW-281BB6 Embedded System
Be cautious of any cleaning solvents or chemicals used when cleaning the
embedded system as some individuals may be allergic to the ingredients.
Avoid any eating, drinking or smoking near the embedded system.
CLEANING TOOLS
Below is a list of items to use while cleaning the computer or computer peripherals. Please
keep in mind that some components in the computer may only be cleaned using a product
designed for cleaning that component, if this is the case it will be mentioned in the
cleaning tips.
Cloth - A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up a component.
Although paper towels or tissues can be used on most hardware as well, it is
recommended to rub it with a piece of cloth.
Water or rubbing alcohol – Moisten a piece of cloth a bit with some water or
rubbing alcohol and rub it on the computer. Unknown solvents may be harmful
to the plastics parts.
Vacuum cleaner - Removing the dust, dirt, hair, cigarette particles, and other
particles out of a computer can be one of the best methods of cleaning a
computer. Over time these items can restrict the airflow in a computer and
cause circuitry to corrode.
Cotton swabs - Cotton swabs moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are
excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas in the keyboard, mouse, and
other locations.
Foam swabs - Whenever possible it is better to use lint free swabs such as
foam swabs.
ESD PRECAUTIONS
Observe all conventional anti-ESD methods while handling the components contained
within the embedded system should the need arise to remove any of the chassis panels.
The use of a grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad is recommended. Avoid dust
and debris or other static-accumulating materials in the work area.

3.5 WAFER-8522 Motherboard On-board Jumpers
NOTE:
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.
The WAFER-8522 motherboard has several onboard jumpers (Table 3-19).

If the WAFER-8522 fails to boot due to improper BIOS settings, the CMOS can be cleared
using the battery connector. Disconnect the battery from the connector for a few seconds
then reconnect the battery. The CMOS should be cleared.
If the “CMOS Settings Wrong” message is displayed during the boot up process, the fault
may be corrected by pressing the F1 to enter the CMOS Setup menu. Do one of the
following:
Enter the correct CMOS setting
Load Optimal Defaults
Load Failsafe Defaults.
After having done one of the above, save the changes and exit the CMOS Setup menu.

4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
If the following anti-static precautions are not followed, a user may be
injured and the system irreparably damaged.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the WAFER series motherboard and the power module. (Dry climates are
especially susceptible to ESD.) It is therefore critical that whenever the ECW-281BB6 is
opened and any electrical component handled, the following anti-static precautions are
strictly adhered to.
ECW-281BB6 Embedded System
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.

The best setting to use if the onboard IDE controllers are set to a specific IDE disk drive in
the AMI BIOS is “0 seconds” and a large majority of ultra ATA hard disk drives can be
detected well within “35 seconds” (the default setting).
ATA (PI) 80Pin Cable Detection [Host & Device]
When an Ultra ATA/66, an Ultra ATA/100 or an Ultra ATA/133 IDE hard disk drive is used,
an 80-conductor ATA cable must be used. The 80-conductor ATA cable is plug compatible
with the standard 40-conductor ATA cable. The system must detect the presence of
correct cable so that the AMIBIOS can instruct the drive to run at the correct speed for the
cable type detected.
