3-2-8 DC Power & Power Switch

Power is supplied through a power DC In or external AC/DC power adapter. Check the

technical specification section for information about DC power input voltage. See

following figure and a side pictures.

DC Power Connector: Use external 2-pin apart able terminal block. (Please see

the spots circled.)

2. DC DC-Power Jack: Use External AC/DC power adapter. (Please see the spots

circled.)

Since the switch does include a power switch, plugging its power adapter into a

power outlet then switch power to on, when you final installed system hardware

device.

3-2-9 Reset Button

The JetBox has a push button switcher for system reset; Push and release the

button will cause hardware reset and restart system booting.

3-3 HW Installation

Before Installation

Before you install the system, make sure you follow the following descriptions.

1. Before removing the cover, shut down the operation System and disconnect

power switch to off and unplug AC-to DC Adapter cable.

2. Install any connector, Compact Flash, and hard disk is sure that the power is

disconnected or power switch to off from the system. If not, this may

damage the system.

3. The ESD (Electricity Static Discharge) may be created from human body that

touches the board. It may do damage to the board circuit.

Removing Covers –Installing Hardware

If you are installing hardware option, you can remove the front and back cover. The

following figure will guide you how to install 2.5" HDD inside, Compact Flash modules,

DDR2-RAM module, miniPCIe module & SIM card.

a. Unscrew front cover and Installing Compact Flash

16 Hardware Feature | Korenix

Note 1: The Compact Flash socket supports Compact Flash Modules and Micro

Drives.

b. Unscrew back cover and Installing Hard Disk

Korenix | Hardware Feature 17

Note 2: Use caution when handling the hard disk to prevent damage to SATA

connector as you inserted hard disk. Be careful with the orientation when installing

connectors.

c. Installing Memory: So-DIMM Socket for DDR2 RAM Modules

You may extend additional memory to the JetBox, See as following figure and rear

pictures. The So-DIMM socket supports 512MB to 2GB of DDR2 RAM modules.

d. Installing miniPCIe module & SIM card

You may extend additional mini PCIe module and SIM card to the JetBox. Connect the

antenna cable from backside antenna hole to GPRS module and installing the SIM

card to SIM socket. See as following figure.

18 BIOS | Korenix

Chapter 4 BIOS

BIOS are a program located on a Flash memory chip on a circuit board. It is used to

initialize and set up the I/O peripherals and interface cards of the system, which

includes time, date, hard disk drive, the ISA bus and connected devices such as the

video display, diskette drive, and the keyboard. This program will not be lost when

you turn off the system.

The BIOS provides a menu-driven interface to the console subsystem. The console

subsystem contains special software, called firmware that interacts directly with the

hardware components and facilitates interaction between the system hardware and

the operating system.

The BIOS default values ensure that the system will function at its normal capability.

In the worst situation the user may have corrupted the original settings set by the

manufacturer.

All the changes you make will be saved in the system RAM and will not be lost after

power-off.

Korenix | BIOS 19

When you start the system, the BIOS will perform a self-diagnostics test called Power

On Self Test (POST) for all the attached devices, accessories, and the system. Press

the [Del] key to enter the BIOS Setup program, and then the main menu will show on

the screen.

Note 3: Change the parameters when you fully understand their functions and

subsequence.
