2.2 Front Panel I/O Functions

On SPC-2000 series, all I/O connectors are located on front panel and rear panel.

Most general computer connectors (i.e. LAN, USB, DVI-I, DIO and etc.) are placed on

the front panel.

2.3 Power Button

The power button is a non-latched switch. In case of system halts, you can press and hold the

power button for 4 seconds to compulsorily shut down the system. Please note that a 4

seconds interval is kept by the system between two on/off operations (i.e. once turning off

the system, you shall wait for 4 seconds to initiate another power-on operation).

2.4 Reset Tact Switch

It is a hardware reset switch. Use this switch to reset the system without turning off the power.

Momentarily pressing the switch will activate a reset.

2.5 PWR, WDT, HDD LED Indicator

Green-Power LED: If the LED is solid green, it indicates that the system is powered on.

Green-WDT LED: Watch Dog LED.

Yellow -HDD LED: A hard disk LED. If the LED is on, it indicates that the system’s storage is

functional. If it is off, it indicates that the system’s storage is not functional. If it is flashing, it

indicates data access activities.

2.6 DVI-I Connector

The DVI-I connector on the front panel supports both DVI and VGA operation mode. This

connector can either output DVI signals or VGA signal. The DVI output mode supports up to

1920x1200 resolution and VGA output mode supports up to 2560x1600 resolution.

2.7 Isolated DIO Connector

The SPC-2000 offers an 8-bit DIO (4-DI/ 4-DO) connector. Each bit of DI and DO equipped with a

photo-coupler for isolated protection. Because the DIO is isolated by photocopiers, it requires

power supply from external to activate this feature.
