1.1 Overview
Figure 1-1: FLEX-BX200-Q370 Series Box PC
The FLEX-BX200-Q370 box PC is powered by 8th Generation LGA1151 Intel® Core™
i7/i5/i3 and Pentium® Processor. It can be used as an inference computing system for AI
applications.
The excellent active cooling method is utilized to effectively transfer heat from the chassis
and maintain system performance. By combining with the FLEX-PLKIT LCD touchscreen
module, the system can transform into an all-in-one panel PC to achieve high flexibility
using its optimized modular design. The FLEX-PLKIT modules ranged from 15" to 24" are
compliant with IP65, providing durable prote ct ion for a variety of applications.
The FLEX-BX200-Q370 includes four low-profile P CIe slots for v arious expan sions, t wo of
them are PCIe 3.0 x8 slots for adding GPU cards or image processing cards for
high-performance Artificial Intelligence computing. Four 2.5" SATA SSD bays with RAID
function are protected in a lockable cover to ensure security of data and disks. The system
is also equipped with two M.2 M-key (2280) slots to support PCIe SSD and NVMe,
providing a variety of storage interfaces for users to choose.

3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
FLEX-BX200-Q370
FLEX-BX200-Q370 and severe injury to the user.
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
FLEX-BX200-Q370 is opened and any electrical component 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, f requently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the FLEX-BX200-Q370, place it on
an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
FLEX-BX200-Q370.
3.2 Installation Precautions
During installation, be aware of the precautions below:
Read the user manual: The user manual provides a complete description of
the FLEX-BX200-Q370, installation instructions and configuration options.
DANGER! Disconnect Power: Power to the FLEX-BX200-Q370 must be
disconnected during the installation process. Fail i ng to disconnect the power
may cause severe injury to the body and/or damage to the system.
Qualified Personnel: The FLEX-BX200-Q370 must be installed and
operated only by trained and qualified personnel. Maintenance, upgrades, or
FLEX-BX200-Q370
Page 17
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 i nstalling
the FLEX-BX200-Q370. The FLEX-BX200-Q370’s cooling vents must not be
obstructed by any objects. Blocking the vents can cause overheating of the
FLEX-BX200-Q370. Leave at least 5 cm of clearance around the
FLEX-BX200-Q370 to prevent overheating.
Grounding: The FLEX-BX200-Q370 should be properly grounded. T he
voltage feeds must not be overloaded. A djust the cabli ng and provid e external
