Note 1-2: PCI Board Other Than a CLK Board or a CS1 Board Installed
The internal temperature of the PCI Board will rise 10°C at slot 1 and 15°C at slot 2. This may
place the ambient operating temperature at the high end of the range given in *1-1 above.
Therefore, set the ambient operating temperature according to the ambient operating
temperature of the PCI Board that is installed. Check prior to actual use to make sure the PCI
Board will operate properly at the selected ambient operating temperature.
Example: If a PCI Board with an ambient operating temperature of 0 to 45°C will be installed in
slot 1 with the Unit installed at angle greater than 45° and less than 75° off horizontal,
then the ambient operating temperature selected should be 0 to 35°C because of the
10°C rise in the internal temperature of the Board at slot 1.

Starting the Operating System
If the external 24 V DC input voltage is turned OFF, the NSA-series Industrial PC
operating system will start up when the rated input voltage is supplied to the NSAseries Industrial PC. The input voltage must remain OFF for at least 10 s before it
is turned back ON. (OFF/ON interval: 10 s min.)
Shutting Down the Operating System
The NSA-series Industrial PC shuts down the operating system when it receives a
shutdown request from a software application, or when the user executes a
shutdown operation. When the shutdown is completed, the NSA-series Indust r ial
PC will turn OFF all DC outputs except the 5-Vs auxiliar y power supply.
Power Interruptions
If the 24 V DC input voltage from the exte rnal power supply is int e rrupt ed, all
NSA-series Industrial PC power supplies, including the 5-Vs auxiliary power
supply, will turn OFF. If t his occurs during any operation, including shutdown, that
operation may not be successfully completed. Be sure to turn OFF the external
24 V DC input voltage after the shut down is completed. The NSA-series Industrial
PC does not have UPS or other recovery functions for power outages or power
interruptions. These functions will have to be provided exter nally ( on the system

4-1-1 What Is the RAS Solution for OM RON Industrial PCs?
4-1 RAS Function Details
NSA-series Industrial PCs are equipped with standard PC RAS functions and
other unique RAS functions that can be used to construct highly reliable systems.
4-1-1 What Is the RAS Solution for OMRON Industr i a l PCs?
RAS functions have important roles in various business scenes using industrial
PCs, where high reliability of a PC is required, as well as advanced features and
high performance. The OMRON RAS Solution is a compr ehensive capabilit y t o
constantly monitor the system status and send information on any detected error
to users and the system. RAS functions can shutdown and/or enable the system
to recover safely.
An OMRON Industrial PC embedded with a specif ic RAS Board can great ly
enhance reliability through a RAS system that combines RAS Middleware and a
RAS Utility. The RAS system in an OMRON I ndustrial PC provides main the
following functions:
• A Monitoring Function is provided to constantly monitor the hardware and
software of the industrial PC and provide the user failure notif icat ion when an
error is detected or a failure occurs.
• An Auto-recovery Function forcefully shuts down the system when a failure
occurs to prevent further faults and reboot the system for recovery.
• A Logging Function saves events in operating the industrial PC (such as power
supply ON/OFF events, OS startup/shutdown events, et c. ), syst em st at us when
a failure occurs, and conditions of the motherboard (i.e., the temperature and
power supply) in RAS Board memory backed up by a battery.
• The Log Analysis Function analyzes the cause and/or tendency of failures using
large amounts of log data saved in memory.
4-1-2 Monitoring and Auto-recovery
Monitoring Functions
The RAS functions enable users to monitor operation status and detect failures.
The Industrial PC provides the following monitoring functions.
• Startup Monitoring: Provides notification of failures that occur while starting
(i.e., from turning ON the power supply until startup has been complet ed).
4-2
Page 61
4-1 RAS Function Details
4-1-2 Monitoring and Auto-recovery
• Alive Monitoring: Provides notification of f ailures that occur while the OS is
running (i.e., from startup to shutdown).
• Shutdown Monitoring: Provides notification of f ailures that occur while shut ting
down or rebooting.
• External Power Supply Undervoltage/Int e r r upt i on M onitoring: Detects
abnormal power interruptions for the external power supply.
• Temperature Monitoring: Detects abnormal temperatures in the Mot herboard.
• Voltage Monitoring: Detects abnormal power supply voltages in the
Motherboard.
• Cumulative Operati ng Ti m e Monitoring: Detects excessive cumulative
operating time.
• RAS Board Monitoring: Detects errors in the RAS Board.
• LCD Monitoring: Detects errors in the LCD.
Action on Error (Forced Shutdown/Forced Reboot)
This function can enable systems to recover to improve the operation rate or
terminate the system to prevent further faults after detecting a failure.
OMRON Industrial PCs with RAS funct ions have t he following capabilities:
• Rebooting the system automatically when the operating system freezes,
• Starting the system and restoring operation automatically after the Motherboard
stops because of a failure, such as overheating due to runaway operation,
• Repeating reboot attempts automatically until the system is successfully
activated, if the system hangs up at startup, and
• Forcefully terminating the system automatically when the system takes too
much time to shut down.

RAS Functions
Failure Notification
The Failure Notification function reports a failure when the failure occurs or after
the system recovers from the error. It notifies t he user of a f ailure wit h a pop-up
message that allows the user to immediately identify the situat ion wit hout fail.
• The user is notified of power failure that causes shutdown of the system.
• When the system goes down due to some failure, this function notifies the user
of the nature of the failure and the status of t he I ndust r ial PC af t er t he system
recovers from the error.
• The user is immediately notified of any abnormal temperature or voltage in the
Motherboard.
• The user is notified that LCD Backlight lifetime is nearing its limit.
Status Monitor
The industrial PC’s operating status can be monitored fr om the RAS Utility. The
following RAS information can be monitored:
• Motherboard temperatures (CPU temperature and chipset temperature),
• Motherboard voltages (2.5 V, Vccp, VTR, 5 V, 12 V, HVCC, 1.5 V, and 1.8 V
values),
• Cumulative operating times (motherboard/LCD and RAS Board),
• RAS system settings,
• LCD operating status,
• RAS Board operating status,
• Number of errors that have occurred, and
• Failure status.

RAS Functions
4-1 RAS Function Details
4-1-3 Logging Function and Log Analysis Function
4-1-3 Logging Function and Log Analysis Functi on
The system keeps a log of operational events as well as of the status of the
Industrial PC (temperature, voltage, etc.) in memory. The logs are saved in t he
RAS Board memory even if the Industrial PC cannot start due to a f ailure, so the
user can analyze the log based on the information stored in the RAS memory in
order to identify the cause of the failure. The RAS Utility includes Filter and Find
functions to analyze logs. These functions allow the user to analyze the logs more
effectively by specifying events in a particular period or classifying events in
categories.
The RAS Utility allows the user to import /export log files. The user may export log
files to save logs to a file on a regular basis. The user may also import log files to
compare and analyze past logs with logs currently in the memory or to conduct log
analysis on another OMRON Industrial PC.
4-1-4 Architecture
An OMRON Industrial PC’s RAS system f unct ions are achieved wit h t he RAS
Board, RAS Middleware (RAS Service), and RAS Utilit y.
RAS Board: This is expansion hardware used to monitor failures that occur in the
software/hardware of an OMRON Industrial PC. The RAS Board can restart the
system to recover normal operation when it detects a failure. Additionally, it saves
power supply ON/OFF status, OS startup/shutdown st at us, and logs of various
failures in the memory backed-up by a battery. This enables the user to analyze
the conditions when failures occur and identify trends.
RAS Middleware: This software operates as part of Windows services. It
communicates with the RAS Board to allow the detection of failures in the
operating system. It also serves as an inter f ace bet ween the RAS Utility and RAS
Board.
RAS Utility: This is a resident application that is automatically activated when
Windows starts. When the RAS Utility detect s a f a ilur e in t he RAS Boar d, it
provides notification of the failure through a pop-up message that immediat ely
identifies the failure situation. The RAS Utility also pr ovides functions to analyze
logs that are saved in the RAS Board memory, allowing efficient analysis of the
conditions when failures occur and trends. Additionally, the RAS Ut ility allows the
OMRON Industrial PC’s RAS functions t o be set flexibly, including the RAS Board
settings.

POST Error Log
When POST errors occur, the 4-byte POST error code, time, month, and date for
up to 32 errors are logged as individual POST error records. These records can
be read from the BIOS setup menu.
Error data can be retained indefinitely without relying on the internal battery f or
backup because POST error logs are saved in the motherboard EEPRO M . This
also means that error data can only be deleted from the BIOS setup menu.
Note: After 32 errors, the most recent error will overwr it e the oldest error.
Individual error records cannot be deleted. If you delete one error record, they will
all be deleted.
