Safety Information
Read the following precautions before setting up a SINTRONES Product.
Electrical safety
To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical
outlet before relocating the system.
When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power
cables for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If
possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a
device.
Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that
all power cables are unplugged.
Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These
devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.
Make sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. If you
are not sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact your
local power company.
If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified
service technician or your retailer.
Operation safety
Before installing the motherboard and adding devices on it, carefully read all the
manuals that came with the package.
Before using the product, make sure all cables are correctly connected and the
power cables are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact your dealer
immediately.
To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from
connectors, slots, sockets and circuitry.
Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any
area where it may become wet.
Place the product on a stable surface.
If you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a qualified service
technician or your retailer.

SYSTEM RESOURCE
Ignition Power Management Quick Guide
Startup/shutdown conditions from the IGNITION signal:
IGNITION startup signal must be valid during 3 sec. (anti noise protection).
IGNITION shutdown – IGNITION signal must be inactive during 3 Sec, then PIC
controller initiate Power Button signal (OS must be set to shutdown from the
Power Button). It generates Main Button shutdown event and then goes to
complete power off.
Typically, the system can start only from IGNITION signal, because startup PIC
controller is disconnected from the power source.
The system can be switched off from:
Power IGNITION OFF signal.
ACPI OS shutdown
Power Button – generate ACPI event (OS dependent).

Ignition On/Off status detectable by SW
If the ignition is off and the system is still on after 3 Sec, VBOX-3150 will shut
down automatically.
If the ignition is turned on again and the power-off delay is in progress, VBOX-
3150 will cancel the delay function and will continue to operate normally.
If the ignition is turned on again and the power-off delay ended, VBOX-3150 will shut
down completely will power-on again automatically.

GPIO & Delay Time Setting
GPIO and Ignition Control Register
The General Purpose I/O is an interface available on some devices. These can read
digital signals from other parts of a circuit, or output to control other devices. At
GPIO control register, the GPI is use to receive data, the GPO is set data to send.
I/O port: 0xA35 (base address) for Control Register (Read 0xA2h / Write 0xA1h)
