The IDS-200-A70Mi features Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) that helps
lower the overall costs of server management by enabling users to maximize IT resources,
save time and manage multiple systems. The IDS-200-A70Mi supports IPMI 2.0 through
the optional iRIS-2400 module. Follow the steps below to setup IPMI.
3.9.1 Managed System Hardware Setup
The hardware configuration of the managed system (IDS-200-A70Mi) is described below.
IDS-200-A70Mi Digital Signage Player
Step 1: Install an iRIS-2400 module to the IPMI module socket (refer to Section
Step 2: Make sure at least one DDR3 DIMM is installed in one of the DIMM sockets. If
multiple DIMMs are installed, all of the DIMMs must be same size, same speed
and same brand to get the best performance.
Step 3: Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector labeled LAN 1 (
Figure 3-21: LAN 1 Location
3.5).
Figure 1-3).
3.9.2 Using the IEI iMAN Web GUI
To manage a client system from a remote console using IEI iMAN Web GUI, follow the
steps below.
Step 1: Obtain the IP address of the IDS-200-A70Mi. It is recommended to use the IPMI
Tool on the managed system to obtain the IP address. To use IPMI Tool to obtain
IP address, follow the steps below:
Page 30
Page 43
IDS-200-A70Mi Digital Signage Player
a. Copy the Ipmitool.exe file to a bootable USB flash drive.
b. Insert the USB flash drive to the IDS-200-A70Mi
c. The IDS-200-A70Mi boots from the USB flash drive
d. Enter the following command: ipmitool 20 30 02 01 03 00 00
(there is a space between each two-digit number)
e. A serial of number shows. The last four two-digit hexadecimal numbers are
the IP address. Convert the hexadecimal numbers to decimal numbers.
NOTE:
An IP address will be assigned to the IDS-200-A70Mi after booting up
for around one minute. Therefore, if the user fails to obtain the IP
address, please try again later.
Step 2: On the remote management console, open a web browser. Enter the managed
system IP address in the web browser (
Figure 3-22: IEI iMAN Web Address
Step 3: The login page appears in the web browser.
Step 4: Enter the user name and password to login the system. The default login
username and password are:
-Username: admin
-Password: admin
Step 5: Press the login button to login the system.
Figure 3-22).
Step 6: The IEI iMAN Web GUI appears (
Figure 3-23).

IDS-200-A70Mi Digital Signage Player
WARNING:
Take Anti-Static precautions whenever maintenance is being carried out on the
system components. Failure to take anti-static precautions can cause
permanent system damage. For more details on anti-static precautions, please
refer to Section
84.2.1.
5.1 System Maintenance Overview
NOTE:
When doing maintenance operations on the system, please follow the
instructions in this chapter. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to
personal injury and system damage.
To preserve the working integrity of the IDS-200-A70Mi, the system must be properly
maintained. If internal components need replacement, the proper maintenance
procedures must be followed to ensure the system can continue to operate normally.
5.2 Component Replacement Procedure
Page 56
WARNING!
Users are not advised to attempt to repair or replace any internal or
external components of the IDS-200-A70Mi embedded system other
than those listed below. If any other components fail or need
replacement, contact the IEI reseller or vendor you purchased the
IDS-200-A70Mi from or contact an IEI sales representative directly. To
contact an IEI sales representative, please send an email to
31sales@iei.com.tw.
The system components listed below can all be replaced if they fail:

5.2.1 SO-DIMM Replacement
WARNING:
Using incorrectly specified SO-DIMM may cause permanently damage
the IDS-200-A70Mi. Please make sure the purchased SO-DIMM
complies with the memory specifications of the IDS-200-A70Mi.
To replace a SO-DIMM memory module into a SO-DIMM socket, please follow the steps
below.
Step 1: Remove the bottom panel retention screws (
panel.
Figure 5-1: Bottom Panel Retention Screws
Figure 3-10) and lift the bottom
Step 2: Locate the SO-DIMM inside the bottom panel (
Figure 3-11).

Figure 5-2: SO-DIMM Locations
Step 3: Remove the SO-DIMM by releasing the arms on the SO-DIMM socket. Align the
new SO-DIMM with the socket. The SO-DIMM must be oriented in such a way
that the notch in the middle of the SO-DIMM must be aligned with the plastic
bridge in the socket (
84Figure 5-3).
Step 4: Insert the SO-DIMM. Push the SO-DIMM chip into the socket at an angle
84Figure 5-3).

C Watchdog Timer
Appendix

Page 75

IDS-200-A70Mi Digital Signage Player
NOTE:
The following discussion applies to DOS environment. IEI support is
contacted or the IEI website visited for specific drivers for more
sophisticated operating systems, e.g., Windows and Linux.
The Watchdog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone systems can always recover
from catastrophic conditions that cause the CPU to crash. This condition may have
occurred by external EMI or a software bug. When the CPU stops working correctly,
Watchdog Timer either performs a hardware reset (cold boot) or a Non-Maskable Interrupt
(NMI) to bring the system back to a known state.
A BIOS function call (INT 15H) is used to control the Watchdog Timer:
INT 15H:
AH – 6FH Sub-function:
AL – 2: Sets the Watchdog Timer’s period.
BL: Time-out value (Its unit-second is dependent on the item “Watchdog
Timer unit select” in CMOS setup).
Table C-1: AH-6FH Sub-function
Call sub-function 2 to set the time-out period of Watchdog Timer first. If the time-out value
is not zero, the Watchdog Timer starts counting down. While the timer value reaches zero,
the system resets. To ensure that this reset condition does not occur, calling sub-function
2 must periodically refresh the Watchdog Timer. However, the Watchdog timer is disabled
if the time-out value is set to zero.
A tolerance of at least 10% must be maintained to avoid unknown routines within the
operating system (DOS), such as disk I/O that can be very time-consuming.

NOTE:
When exiting a program it is necessary to disable the Watchdog Timer,
otherwise the system resets.
Example program:
