3.5.1 Audio connectors (Mic-in and Headphones)
The audio jacks on the external audio connector enable the ICEROCK-08A to be
connected to a stereo sound setup. To install the audio devices, follow the steps below.
Step 1: Identify the audio plugs. The plugs on your home theater system or speakers
may not match the colors on the rear panel. If audio plugs are plugged into the
wrong jacks, sound quality will be very bad.
Step 2: Plug the audio plugs into the audio jacks. Plug the audio plugs into the audio
jacks. If the plugs on your speakers are different, an adapter will need to be used
to plug them into the audio jacks.
Line Out port (Lime): Connects to a head phone or a speaker.

A Safety Precautions
Page 74
Page 86
ICEROCK-08A Panel PC
WARNING:
The precautions outlined in this chapter should be strictly followed.
Failure to follow these precautions may result in permanent damage to
the ICEROCK-08A.
A.1 Safety Precautions
Please follow the safety precautions outlined in the sections that follow:
A.1.1 General Safety Precautions
Please ensure the following safety precautions are adhered to at all times.
Follow the electrostatic precautions outlined below whenever the
ICEROCK-08A is opened.
Make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disco nnected
whenever the ICEROCK-08A is being installed, moved or modified.
Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range.
Doing so may cause fire and/or an electrical shock.
Electric shocks can occur if the ICEROCK-08A chassis is opened when the
ICEROCK-08A is running.
Do not drop or insert any objects into the ventilation openings of the
ICEROCK-08A.
If considerable amounts of dust, water, or fluids enter the ICEROCK-08 A,
turn off the power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact the
ICEROCK-08A vendor.
DO NOT do the following:
o DO NOT drop the ICEROCK-08A against a hard surface.
o DO NOT strike or exert excessive force onto the LCD panel.
o DO NOT touch any of the LCD panels with a sharp object
o DO NOT use the ICEROCK-08A in a site where the ambient temperature
exceeds the rated temperature
Page 75
Page 87
A.1.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
ICEROCK-08A may result in permanent damage to the ICEROCK-08A
and sever injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the ICEROCK-08A. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the ICEROCK-08A is opened and any of the electrical
components are handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple an ti-static wristband can
ICEROCK-08A Panel PC
help to prevent ESD from damaging any electrical component.
Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any
grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component is
handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the
ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical
component, place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD
damage.
Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the
electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.
A.2 Maintenance and Cleaning Precautions
When maintaining or cleaning the ICEROCK-08A, please follow the guidelines below.
A.2.1 Maintenance and Cleaning
Prior to cleaning any part or component of the ICEROCK-08A, please read the details
below.
Page 76
Page 88
ICEROCK-08A Panel PC
Except for the LCD panel, never spray or squirt liquids directly onto any other
components. To clean the LCD panel, gently wipe it with a piece of soft dry
cloth or a slightly moistened cloth.
The interior does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away from the interior.
Be careful not to damage the small, removable components inside.
Turn off before cleaning.
Never drop any objects or liquids through the openings.
Be cautious of any possible allergic reactions to solvents or chemicals used
when cleaning.
Avoid eating, drinking and smoking nearby.
A.2.2 Cleaning Tools
Some components may only be cleaned using a product specifically designed for the
purpose. In such case, the product will be explicitly mentioned in the cleaning tips. Below
is a list of items to use for cleaning.
Cloth – Although paper towels or tissues can be used, a soft, clean piece of
cloth is recommended.
Water or rubbing alcohol – A cloth moistened with water or rubbing alcohol
should be used.
Using solvents – The use of solvents is not recommended as they may
damage the plastic parts.
Vacuum cleaner – Using a vacuum specifically designed for computers is
one of the best methods of cleaning. Dust and dirt can restrict the airflow and
cause circuitry to corrode
Cotton swabs - Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alco hol or water are
excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas.
Foam swabs - Whenever possible, it is best to use lint free swabs such as
foam swabs for cleaning.

B.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.
B.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 calculat ed 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.
B.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.
