3
It is absolutely necessary to pay attention to the correct positional arrangement,
due to the usage of the heat-pipe cooling system.
Incorrect installation will lead to the overheating of the CPU!
- The device can be positioned as a stand-alone device or mounted using the optional mounting brackets.
- The device must not be exposed to direct solar radiation or be operated near heat sources.
- The device must not be mounted outdoors.
- The device must not be used in an explosion-risk area.
- The device is not designed for mobile applications.
- The device should only be operated in a low-dust environment. The air ventilation vents cannot be additionally
safeguarded (e.g. fi lter) against the infi ltration of dust.
- Vents and slots serve to provide air ventilation for the device. Do not cover these vents at any time as it could
result in overheating.
- When positioning the device, please take heed that the air vents are not obstructed.

4. IMPLEMENTING
4.1 OPERATING ELEMENTS & PORTS
Start-up possibilities:There are diverse start-up possibilities other than via the on-switch. E.g. Switching-on after a
power-failure. These can be regulated in BIOS. (see board manual)
4.2 CONFIGURATION
In order to install an operating system, drives need to be assigned and booting sequences need to be defi ned in the
BIOS settings.(see board manual)
4.3 BIOS SETTINGS
Set the BIOS values ( based on the board manual) according to your needs. When an operating system has been
pre-installed, par-ticular basic settings have already been distinguished.If any problems occur, please go to “Problem Solving and Tips” or respectively the board manual.
A BIOS update isn’t usually necessary.
All requests for required BIOS-Updates should be placed with our support team.
4.4 OPERATING SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Please observe that various operating systems may have varied hardware support. Therefore e.g. the maximum
supported primary storage and the maximum HDD size may be deviant, depending on the operatingsystem in use.
Software Installation by the Manufacturer
Spectra GmbH & Co. KG. normally provides the device with a pre-installed operating system and drivers.In this
case, the user only has to install his applications and confi gure the operating system based on his needs.
Self-Implementation of the Software
Standard software is usually supplied on a CD-ROM. Software can be installed by implementing the USB port with
an externaldrive. In order to boot, one usually has to change the boot sequence in the BIOS settings. Please see
section BIOS Settings fordetailed information.
4.5 DRIVER INSTALLATION
The drivers for the integrated board periphery are to be found on the webseite of the board manufacturer.
The BIOS settings can be protected against unauthorised access by a password.
6. PROBLEM SOLVING & TIPS
6.1 OPERATING DISPLAY IS DARK
Please check if the feeder is plugged in properly.
Turn off the device completely again and wait a few seconds.
Then plug the device back in and turn it back on.
6.2 DEVICE TURNS ITSELF OFF
- Check and see if the device has been installed in the correct position. (see Installation Guidelines)
- It’s possible that other components have been installed that cause an unacceptably high switch-on current.
Remove these components and try again. Always observe the boot-dialogue on the display.
- The CPU cooler may not be positioned accurately.(transport damage) The internal protective circuit causes the
shutting-down
Plug-out the device from the supply voltage and check if the CPU cooler is in
the correct position
6.3 DISPLAY BECOMES DARK
- The display is dark (screen saver or suspend mode is activated)
Press any keyboard key. Respectively, the screen saver mode or the energy saving mode
need to be switched off. Please check in the “Help” of you OS for further information.
- The input-port has been chosen incorrectly.
Check the settings in the OSD Menu of your display.
6.4 DISPLAY IS FAULTY
Please check the plug and sockets. When the picture content is correct but the colours are
illustrated incorrectly, this is an indication that the DVI connector is tilted or respectively
bent/distorted contacts

MANUAL SPECTRA POWERBOX 12C0 / 12C5
6.5 USB-DEVICE CANNOT BE RECOGNISED
- Some USB devices need a high switch-on current.
Re-boot the computer while the USB-device is plugged-in.Alternatively, use a USB hub
with an external electrical supply
6.6 TIME AND DATE ARE FAULTY
When the time and date are being shown incorrectly, you can either change the data in BIOS or in your OS. If the
time and dateare continuously shown incorrectly then the battery needs to be changed by the service department
6.7 BIOS BASIC SETTINGS
If there is an interference in the BIOS while booting or if the wrong BIOS has been chosen, this can lead to the
default BIOS para-meters being loaded in order to protect the hardware.
The BIOS settings then need to be changed according to the application requirements.
6.8 DEVICE REBOOTS
- In the case that the device reboots when booting the operating system, please check the BIOS-settings.
- The system also reboots in the set time interval if Watchdog has been activated in the Bios, until an application
triggers the Watchdog.
7. KEY COMBINATIONS
7.1 BIOS REQUEST
One can request the BIOS by pressing the DELETE key.
Press the DELETE key accurately timed, before Windows has loaded.
