1.7 Environmental Protection Statement
This product has been manufactured to satisfy environmental protection requirements wherever possible. Many of the
components used (structural parts, printed circuit boards, connectors, batteries, etc.) are capable of being recycled.
Final disposal of this product after its service life must be accomplished in accordance with applicable country, state,
or local laws or regulations. All components within this product fulfill the requirements of the RoHS (Restriction of
Hazardous Substances Directive). The product is soldered with a lead free process.
1.8 RoHS Commitment
Kontron Compact Computers AG (Switzerland) is committed to develop and produce environmentally friendly products
according to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive (2002/95/EC) and the Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive (2002/96/EC) established by the European Union. The RoHS directive was
adopted in February 2003 by the European Union and came into effect on July 1, 2006. It is not a law but a directive,
which restricts the use of six hazardous materials in the manufacturing of various types of electronic and electrical
equipment. It is closely linked with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) 2002/96/EC,
which has set targets for collection, recycling and recovery of electrical goods and is part of a legislative initiative to
solve the problem of huge amounts of toxic e-waste.
Each European Union member state is adopting its own enforcement and implementation policies using the directive
as a guide. Therefore, there could be as many different versions of the law as there are states in the EU. Additionally,
non-EU countries like China, Japan, or states in the U.S. such as California may have their own regulations for green
products, which are similar, but not identical, to the RoHS directive.

MPC20/20L/21/21C MPC20WOL/21WOL / User Information
RoHS is often referred to as the "lead-free" directive but it restricts the use of the following substances:
» Lead
» Mercury
» Cadmium
» Chromium VI
» PBB and PBDE
The maximum allowable concentration of any of the above mentioned substances is 0.1% (except for Cadmium, which
is limited to 0.01%) by weight of homogeneous material. This means that the limits do not apply to the weight of the
finished product, or even to a component but to any single substance that could (theoretically) be separated
mechanically.
1.8.1 RoHS Compatible Product Design
All standard products from Kontron Compact Computers (KCC) comply with RoHS legislation.
Since July 1, 2006, there has been a strict adherence to the use of RoHS compliant electronic and mechanical
components during the design-in phase of all KCC standard products.
1.8.2 RoHS Compliant Production Process
KCC selects external suppliers that are capable of producing RoHS compliant devices verified by:
» A confirmation from the supplier indicating that their production processes and resulting devices are RoHS
compliant.
» If there is any doubt of the RoHS compliancy, the concentration of the previously mentioned substances in a
produced device will be measured. These measurements are carried out by an accredited laboratory.
1.8.3 WEEE Application
The WEEE directive is closely related to the RoHS directive and applies to the following devices:
» Large and small household appliances
» IT equipment
» Telecommunications equipment (although infrastructure equipment is exempt in some countries)
» Consumer equipment
» Lighting equipment – including light bulbs
» Electronic and electrical tools
» Toys, leisure and sports equipment
» Automatic dispensers
It does not apply to fixed industrial plants and tools. The compliance is the responsibility of the company that brings
the product to market, as defined in the directive. Components and sub-assemblies are not subject to product
compliance. In other words, since Kontron Compact Computers AG does not deliver ready-made products to end users
the WEEE directive is not applicable for KCC. Users are nevertheless encouraged to properly recycle all electronic
products that have reached the end of their life cycle.

3.1 MPC20/20L/21/21C Incompatibilities to a Standard PC/AT
Keyboard versus NUM-Lock
Without a connected keyboard, the NUM-Lock ON field in the BIOS-setup must not be activated. Otherwise the timeout noticeably slows down the reaction speed of the computer as soon as the keyboard is not connected. The PS2
peripherals (KB and MS) are not hot-plug compatible.

MPC20/20L/21/21C MPC20WOL/21WOL / Safety Regulations
4 Safety Regulations
Safety verifications follow the guidelines adapted from the US Army Communication and Electronics Command
Supplement (1992 version) 1 to AR385-16.
4.1 Safety: Power-On Indicator
The green power indicator is located in the front of the computer system. [MIL-STD-1472D]
4.2 Safety: Coded and Marked Connectors
All connectors (plugs and receptacles) are coded and marked to prevent insertion of the wrong plug into a receptacle
or other mating unit [MIL-STD-1472D]. Depending on the mounted replicator unit, the connectors are PC-Style, DSUB
or MIL versions. The male connectors are de-energized when disconnected. [MIL-STD-454M]
4.3 Protection of the Supply Input Current
Note: The computer system has no internal fuse. To protect the supply input from overcurrent, an external fuse or a
current-limited power supply should be used.
4.4 Safety: Wrong Polarization on the Power Input
Attention: The supply input is protected against wrong polarization with a serial diode. This diode withstands
voltage up to 28Volts.
4.5 Safety: Protection of the Output Currents
There is no overcurrent protection on any peripheral port. The following table shows the maximum available current
at each peripheral connector:
Connector Nominal maximum current
USB 0.5 Amp. @ 5V
KB/MS 0.1 Amp. @ 5V
VGA 0.1 Amp. @ 5V
4.6 Safety: Load Dump Protection in 12V/24V Systems
Danger: There is no integrated protection against load dump!
If the computer system is to be installed in a vehicle (car, truck, train), an external, overvoltage protection must be
attached. Connecting a zinc oxide based metal oxide varistor (MOV) directly at the supply input connector is
recommended. Use a typical 28V clamp voltage for the 12/24V systems.
Example: Varistor: B72220S300K (Infineon) Vbreak=30V

MPC20/20L/21/21C MPC20WOL/21WOL / Safety Regulations
4.7 Ground Potential
The shields of all interface connectors are grounded to the chassis. The user then has the option to ground the system
with a ground wire.
Pin Left Middle Right
Signal GND
Chassis

Power 1030V
Chassis ground
4.8 Power On/Off Switch
The power switch is clearly identified and located on the front panel. [MIL-STD-545M]
The power on/off switch does not cut all electricity to the system. In the "off" position, a microcontroller is still
working, to supervise wakeup events (switch, Wake on LAN). [MIL STD 454M] In this state, the system is consuming
approximately 300mW.

PXE Boot and PXE Protocol
PXE is defined on a foundation of industry-standard Internet protocols and services that are widely deployed in the
industry, namely TCP/IP, DHCP, and TFTP. These standardize the form of the interactions between clients and servers.
To ensure that the meaning of the client-server interaction is standardized as well, certain vendor option fields in
DHCP protocol are used, which are allowed by the DHCP standard. The operations of standard DHCP and/or BOOTP
servers (that serve up IP addresses and/or NBPs) will not be disrupted by the use of the extended protocol. Clients
and servers that are aware of these extensions will recognize and use this information, and those that do not
recognize the extensions will ignore them.
In brief, the PXE protocol operates as follows. The client initiates the protocol by broadcasting a DHCPDISCOVER
containing an extension that identifies the request as coming from a client that implements the PXE protocol.
Assuming that a DHCP server or a Proxy DHCP server implementing this extended protocol is available, after several
intermediate steps, the server sends the client a list of appropriate Boot Servers. The client then discovers a Boot
Server of the type selected and receives the name of an executable file on the chosen Boot Server. The client uses TFTP
to download the executable from the Boot Server. Finally, the client initiates execution of the downloaded image. At
this point, the client’s state must meet certain requirements that provide a predictable execution environment for the
image. Important aspects of this environment include the availability of certain areas of the client's main memory,
and the availability of basic network I/O services.
Deployment of servers
On the server end of the client-server interaction there must be available services that are responsible for providing
redirection of the client to an appropriate Boot Server. These redirection services may be deployed in two ways:
1. Combined standard DHCP and redirection services.
The DHCP servers that are supplying IP addresses to clients are modified to become, or are replaced by servers
that serve up IP addresses for all clients and redirect PXE-enabled clients to Boot Servers as requested.
2. Separate standard DHCP and redirection services.
PXE redirection servers (Proxy DHCP servers) are added to the existing network environment. They respond
only to PXE-enabled clients, and provide only redirection to Boot Servers. Each PXE Boot Server must have one
or more executables appropriate to the clients that it serves.
