4.2. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can destroy static-sensitive devices or micro-circuitry. Therefore proper
packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. Always take the following
precautions:
1. Transport boards in ESD-safe containers such as boxes or bags.
2. Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at the ESD-safe workplace.
3. Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive board, component, or assembly.
4. Store electrostatic-sensitive boards in protective packaging or on antistatic mats.
4.2.1. Grounding Methods
The following measures help to avoid electrostatic damages to the device:
1. Cover workstations with approved antistatic material. Always wear a wrist strap connected to workplace as well as
properly grounded tools and equipment.
2. Use antistatic mats, heel straps, or air ionizers for more protection.
3. Always handle electrostatically sensitive components by their edge or by their casing.
4. Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
5. Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or connecting test equipment.
6. Keep work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and styrofoam.
7. Use field service tools such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuum cleaners which are conductive.
8. Always place drives and boards PCB-assembly-side down on the foam.
4.3. Instructions for the Lithium Battery
The implemented motherboard or SBC-board is equipped with a Lithium battery. For the replacing of this battery please
observe the instructions described in the chapter “
Caution
Danger of explosion when replacing with wrong type of battery. Replace only with the same or equivalent
type recommended by the manufacturer. The lithium battery type must be UL recognized.
Replacing the Lithium Battery ”.
Do not dispose of lithium batteries in general trash collection. Dispose of the battery according to the
local regulations dealing with the disposal of these special materials, (e.g. to the collecting points for
dispose of batteries).

Ensure there is sufficient air circulation around the device when installing the KISS 1U Short platform.
The openings for air intake and exhaust on the device must not be obstructed by objects.
Leave at least 5 cm (1.969 ") of free space in front and behind the unit to prevent the device from possibly
overheating!
The KISS 1U Short platform should be installed into a 19" industrial cabinet with slide rails.
The 19" industrial cabinet must stand firmly in place. You can improve its stability by placing the
components into it from the bottom up. Heavy components should be placed down below.
If further stabilization is necessary, then bolt the 19" industrial cabinet to the floor or anchor it on the
wall.
The voltage feeds must not be overloaded. Adjust the cabling and the external overcharge protection to
correspond with the electrical data indicated on the type label.
The type label is located on right side of the unit.

9. Starting Up
The rated voltage of the mains (AC) must agree with the voltage value on the type label.
9.1. AC-Power Cord Connection
The AC power plug of the PSU is located on the rear side of the KISS 1U Short platform.
Use the power cord suitable for the mains in your country.
Do not remove or alter the grounding prong on the power cord. In situations where a two-slot
receptacle is present, have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong grounding type receptacle.

9.2. Operating System and Hardware Components Drivers
The KISS 1U Short system can optionally be supplied with or without a pre- installed operating system.
If you have ordered your system with a pre- installed operating system, all drivers are installed, corresponding to the
ordered computer configuration (optional hardware components). Your computer is fully operational, when you switch it
on for the first time. Please observe the information below.
Important information for using the pre-installed “WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE FOR EMBEDDED
SYSTEMS” or “WINDOWS 7 PROFESSIONAL FOR EMBEDDED SYSTEMS“ operating systems:
The terms and condition for using the pre-installed operating systems are defined in the document
„MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS“.
This document can be downloaded from our web site www.kontron.com by selecting the product
name/tab Downloads/Windows.
If you have ordered your system without a pre- installed operating system, you have to install the operating system and
the corresponding drivers for the ordered computer configuration (optional hardware components).
The needed drivers for the hardware configuration of your system can be downloaded from the web page
www.kontron.com by selecting the product name.
Consider the manufacturer’s specifications for the operating system and the integrated hardware
components.

10. Maintenance and Prevention KISS 1U Short – User’s Guide (V1.10)
10. Maintenance and Prevention
Kontron Embedded Computers systems require minimal maintenance and care to keep them operating correctly.
Occasionally wipe the system with a soft dry cloth.
You should only remove persistent dirt by use of a soft, slightly damp cloth (use only a mild detergent).
Clean the air filter mats regularly (refer to the “Cleaning the Filter Mat” section).
10.1. Replacing the Lithium Battery
The integrated motherboard of your system is equipped with a lithium battery. To replace the battery, please proceed as
follows:
1. Open the unit asdescribed in the chapter 8.2.1 “Installing/Removing the Expansion Cards” (step 1-4).
2. Remove the old battery by pressing outwards on the ejector spring.
3. Place the new battery into the socket.
4. Make sure that you insert the battery the right way around. The plus pole must be on the top!
5. The lithium battery must be replaced with an identical battery or a battery type recommended by Kontron Embedded
Computers. The Lithium battery type must be UL listed.
6. Close the unit as described in chapter 8.2.1 “Installing/Removing the Expansion Cards” (step 12).
Caution
Danger of explosion when replacing with wrong type of battery. Replace only with the same or equivalent
type recommended by the manufacturer. The lithium battery type must be UL recognized.
Do not dispose of lithium batteries in general trash collection. Dispose of the battery according to the
local regulations dealing with the disposal of these special materials, (e.g. to the collecting points for
dispose of batteries).
10.2. Replacing the System’s Fans
The operation of the KISS 1U Short is permitted only with functional fan modules.
Defective components should only be replaced only by Kontron.

10.3. Cleaning the Filter Mat
The filter mat is inserted in the filter mat holder at the front side of the system. Cleaning frequency of the filter mat will
depend on the operating environment.
If the environment is extremely dusty, clean the filter mat more often. The filter mat may be changed while the system is
powered-up.

4. Remove the dirty filter mat (Fig. 23, pos. 2 or Fig. 25).
5. To clean the filter mat:
Rinse in water (up to approx. 40°C; you may add mild-duty commercial detergent).
It is also possible to beat it out, vacuum it or blast it with warm compressed air.
If the filter is soiled with greasy dust, you should rinse it with warm water with degreaser added. Do not clean the
filter mat with a piercing jet of water or wring it out.
6. After cleaning and drying the filter mat, replace it into the filter mat holder. Insert the positioning lugs of the filter
mat holder (Fig. 26, pos. 7) into the positioning holes (Fig. 24, pos. 6) at the front side of the chassis.
7. Tighten the knurled screws to secure the filter mat holders to the chassis.
When inserting the filter mat, ensure that the denser side of the mat is facing the fans.
Defective components may be replaced only by Kontron original spare parts.
