2.2 Front Panel I/O Functions
In Echo-40F series family, all I/O connectors are located on front panel
and rear panel. Most of the general connections to computer device, such as
USB, DVI-D, DisplayPort and any additional storage, are placed on the front
panel.
It is a hardware reset switch. Use this switch to reset the system without power
off the Echo-40F. Press the Reset Switch for a few seconds, then reset will be
enabled.

To power off Echo-40F, you can either command shutdown by OS operation, or
just simply press the power button.
If system error, you can just press the power button for 4 seconds to shut down
the machine directly.
Please do note that a 4-second interval between each 2 power-on/ power-off
operation is necessary in normal working status. (For example, once turning
off the system, you have to wait for 4 seconds to initiate another power-on
operation).

The USB interface is accessed through one 4-pin JST 2.0mm connector. You
will need an adapter cable if you use a standard USB connector. The adapter
cable has a 4-pin connector on one end and a USB connector on the other.
The pin assignments of J4 are listed in the following table:
Both mSATA and Mini PCIe share the same form factor and similar electrical
pinout assignments on their connectors. There was no clear mechanism to
distinguish if a mSATA drive or a Mini PCIe device is plugged into the socket
until recently that SATA I/O issued an ECN change (ECN #045) to redene Pin43 on mSATA connector as “no connect” instead of “return current path” (or
GND).
When an mSATA drive is inserted, its Pin-43 is “no connect”, and the respective
pin on the socket is being pulled-up to logic 1. When a Mini PCIe device is
inserted, its Pin-43 forces the respective pin on the socket to ground, or logic 0.

You may congure your card to match the needs of your application by setting
jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electric circuit. It consists
of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that
slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper, you connect the pins
with the clip. To “open” a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will
have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you would connect either pins 1
and 2, or 2 and 3.
EFKR) series provides 16-mode adjustable power on/ off delay period via

IGN
V+ : Positive polarity of DC power input (Car battery+ for 12/24V)
V- : Ground of DC power input (Car battery -/GND line to GND)
IGN : Ignition signal input (ACC power of vehicle)
For testing purpose, you can refer to the picture blow to simulate ignition signal
input controlled by a latching switch.
Note:
1. DC power source and IGN share the same ground.
2. EFKR) supports 6V to 36V wide range DC power input in ATX/AT mode.
In Ignition mode, the input voltage is xed to 12/24V for car battery scenario.
3. For proper ignition control, the power button setting should be “Power Down”
mode.
In Windows for example, you
need to set “When I press
the power button” to Shut
down.
The board uses UEFI BIOS that is use Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
Flash. The SPI Flash contains the BIOS Setup program, POST, the PCI autoconfiguration utility, LAN, EEPROM information, and Serial port support. The
BIOS setup program is accessed by pressing the <Del> key after the PowerOn Self-Test (POST) memory test begins and before the operating system boot
begins. The menu bar is shown below.
