Compliances and Certification
CE Certication
This product has passed the CE test for environmental
specifications. Test conditions for passing included the
equipment being operated within an industrial enclosure.
In order to protect the product from being damaged by
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and EMI leakage, we strongly
recommend the use of CE-compliant industrial enclosure
products.
FCC Class A Certication
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

The controller contains two modes of operation—a
legacy mode using I/O space, and an AHCI mode using
memory space. Software that uses legacy mode will not
have AHCI capabilities.
The AHCI ( Advanced Host Controller Interface) is a
programming interface which defines transactions
between the SATA controller and software and enables
advanced performance and usability with SATA. Platforms
supporting AHCI may take advantage of performance
features such as no master/slave designation for SATA
devices—each device is treated as a master—and
hardware assisted native command queuing. AHCI also
provides usability enhancements such as Hot-Plug.
Use the BIOS menu to configure your hard disk
to be AHCI compatible.

The functions of the above jumpers are further explained
here.
Power Good Detection1. : A power-good signal
from the main board will be sent to the ignition
controller so that the ignition controller can
decide or alter the power state upon the following
instances. (Refer to the flow chart in Chapter 4):
Power-on instance•
Power-good signal turned-low instance•
Low Voltage Detection2. : Turn on this switch to
enable the automatic detection of low voltage
state of the battery. It will automatically turn
off the system when low voltage state has been
detected (Note: the low-voltage condition needs to remain 30 seconds continually). The voltage
level can be set in the Ignition System Manager
(ISM) which is provided by Lanner as a sample
code for functions on the power ignition module.
The default setting of this function: Shutdown
Voltage in the ISM is disabled. (Refer to the flow
chart in Chapter 4 and the Using the Ignition
System Manager (ISM) in Appendix A.)
Watchdog:
3. Enable this switch to enable shutdown
after watchdog timer count-down to zero. This is a
programmable function. If there is no program to
control and monitor the watchdog timer, set this
jumper to disabled to avoid abnormal shutdown.
The default time-out value is 300 sec( you will need
an AT command to reset watchdog timer; contact

Preparing the Hardware Installation
To access some components and perform certain service
procedures, you must perform the following procedures
first.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury,
electric shock, or damage to the equipment,
remove the power cord to remove power from
the server. The power switch button does not
completely shut off system power. Portions of the
power supply and some internal circuitry remain
active until power is removed.
Unpower the LVC-5000 and remove the power cord.1.
Unscrew the3 threaded screws from the front and rear 2.
panels and two from each sides to take off the bottom
cover.
Open the cover.3.
HDD Installation for model without an
externally removable HDD tray
The system can accommodate one Serial-ATA disk. Follow
these steps to install a hard disk into the system:
Take out the hard disk tray and fix the hard disk on 1.
the tray with 4 mounting screws as illustrated in the
following picture.
Plug the Serial-ATA cable to the hard disk.2.
Place the hard disk back to the system’s chassis and fix 3.
it with the mounting screws.
Connect the Serial-ATA power and data disk cables to 4.
the Serial-ATA power and disk connectors on the main
board respectively.

Connecting Power
Connect the LVC-5000 to a +12V or +24V vehicle battery.
The DC power-in connector comes with a 3-pin terminal
block for its Phoenix contact. This power socket can only
accept the power supply with the right pin contact so be
cautious when inserting power to the system.

Using the Ignition System Manager (ISM)
Appendix A:
Using the Ignition System
Manager (ISM)
The Ignition System Manager (ISM) is a software that
can monitor the system’s voltage level and configure the
features that the Power Ignition Module provides.
For sample ISM code, see ISM folder under LVC-5000 Utility
on the Driver and Manual CD.
Running the Program
Just double click the ISM.exe to launch the ISM.
The program can configure the following values:
Voltage: It shows the current power system.
Power Input System: Select either 12V or 24V for vehicular
power input.
Startup Voltage (V): If the DC-in voltage is not higher
than this value, the system will not be able to start up.
Click Cancel to exit the ISM program.
COM5
Shutdown Voltage (V): If the DC-in voltage is lower than
the shutdown voltage, the system will start shutdown
process automatically. (Refer to selector 2 of SW1 dip
switch on the mainboard.)
Power-on Delay (min/sec): Select power-on delay value
to indicate the time to delay powering on the system.
(Refer to the flow chart in Chapter 4)
Power-off Delay (hr/min/sec): Select power-off delay
value to indicate the time to delay powering off the system
(Refer to the flow chart in Chapter 4)
Serial Port: Select the serial communication port for the
ISM. Choose COM5.
D1/D2 Wakeup: Digital input triggering to enable
automatic wake-up function. Select this option and it will
start the system automatically once an input has been
triggered.
3G Wakeup: 3G SMS/Ring wake-up to enable automatic
wake-up function. Select this option and it will start the
system automatically through 3G Internet service.
DigitalOut: Check the box to turn on the output device
and check off the box to turn off the connected device.
Note:
You will have to enable (the default is enabled) 1.
the selector 2 (Low Voltage Detection) of SW1 dip switch on the mainboard to enable automatic
shutdown function. (Refer to Select MCU Detect Function for power ignition behavior (SW1) in
Chapter 3 Board Layout.)
DI1/DI2 Wakeup function is detected via pin 2.
19/21of MIO2 (Refer to MIO2 in Chapter 3 Board Layout.)
DO1 function is connected (controlled) via 3. pin
20, 22, 23 while DO2 is connected (controlled) via
pin 24, 25, 26. (Refer to MIO2 in Chapter 3 Board Layout.)

The system employs Analog Devices’s ADXL345 Digital
Accelerometer which is a small, thin, ultralow power, 3-axis
accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit) measurement
at up to ±16 g. It interfaces with the LVC-5000 through a
SPI interface.
To access the Gsensor data, locate the adxl345_v001 folder
and execute the executable file adxl345 and it will show G
value of 3 axes.
Driver Installation
To access the G-Sensor data, use the following
instructions:
Make sure you already installed the Lanner GPIO 1.
driver on your LVC-5000 as instructed in Appendix B.
To access the Gsensor data, locate the adxl345_v001 2.

Programming Watchdog Timer
Appendix E:
Programming System
Watchdog Timer of the
LVC-5000
A watchdog timer is a piece of hardware that can be
used to automatically detect system anomalies and reset
the processor in case there are any problems. Generally
speaking, a watchdog timer is based on a counter that
counts down from an initial value to zero. The software
selects the counter’s initial value and periodically restarts
it. Should the counter reach zero before the software
restarts it, the software is presumed to be malfunctioning
and the processor’s reset signal is asserted. Thus, the
processor will be restarted as if a human operator had
cycled the power.
For sample watchdog code, see watchdog folder under
LVC-5000 Utility on the Driver and Manual CD
