Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products
from damage.
! To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your PC
chassis before you work on it. Don't touch any components on the CPU
card or other cards while the PC is on.
! Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden
rush of power as you connect a jumper or install
a card may damage
sensitive electronic components.
Warning! 1. Input voltage rated: 12-24 Vdc.
2. Transport: carry the unit with both hands and handle with care.
3. Maintenance: to properly maintain and clean the surfaces, use
only approved products or
clean with a dry applicator.

Computing Box.
Sections include:
! Introduction
! General Specifications

1.1 Introduction
The TREK-520 is a dedicated box computer for industrial, transport trucks,
buses and taxis. TREK-520 combined with variety of I/O connectors can be
connected to devices like OBD-II or TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System).
Dual display/dual audio interfaces supporting different resolutions can deliver
different applications to different displays; eg: one application to a driver and
another to a digital signage application.
Built-in wireless communications (WWAN, WLAN, BT) enable TREK-520 to
send important driver/ location/cargo information back to the control center.
TREK-520 can also operate in extreme environments with features like a
wide working temperature range (-30 to 70 degrees). TREK-520 also uses a
special design to handle the critical issue of in power. Special power
protection (ISO7637-2/SAE J1455 Class A/ SAE J1113) and power
management software (Ignition on/off, delay on/off, low battery monitor)
prevent electrical noise and surges from impacting the system, guarding
against damage from transient power. TREK-520 also support rear view
monitor through connecting video in port. With this feature, driver can real
time monitor the environment on two sides of the truck for driving safety.
TREK-520 can also support dead-reckoning feature, which means the truck
can still be traced even the driver is driving in a tunnel.

1.2.1 General
! Dimensions : (W x H x D): 190x134x45.5 mm.
! Weight : 900 g.
! Power supply :
– Input voltage : 12 ~ 24Vdc, support ignition cold crank
– Ignition on/off
– Low battery shut-down protection threshold (optional) : When the
battery voltage level drops below 11V for more than 30 seconds,
TREK-520 will automatically shut down in order to prevent “deep
discharge” situations and TREK-520 can be re-activated only when the
voltage is > 11V.
– Power on delay : Default 2 seconds. When the TREK-520 is powered
on via ignition key, the system will
delay 2 seconds to power on.
– Power off delay : Default 5 seconds. When TREK-520 power is
controlled by ignition key
and turns off by the key (ignition=off), the
TREK-520 will
start the shut procedure after 5 seconds.
–
Hard off delay : Default 30 seconds. When TREK-520 power is
controlled
by ignition key and turns off by the key (ignition=off), the
TREK-520 will cut off the 5VSB power after 30 seconds. In
this event
when the shutdown process is longer than 30 seconds, the power will
be shut down hard,
turning off the TREK-520's power and 5VSB.
Note! For more detail of function please refer to Chapter 4, Section
4.3.2 of this manual.

on TREK-550.
Sections include:
!A Quick Tour of the computer box
!Installation Procedures
!Running the BIOS Setup
Program

2.1 A Quick Tour of the TREK-520Computingbox.
Before starting to set up the Computing Box, take a moment to become familiar with the
locations and
purposes of the controls, drives, connectors and ports, which are illustrated
in the figures below. When the Computer box is placed inside truck glove cabinet or under
the passenger’s seat next to the driver, its front appears as shown
in Figure 2.1.
Figure 2.1. front view of TREK-520
Figure 2.2Rear view of
Figure 2.2. Rear view of TREK-520
2.3 Running the BIOS Setup Program
In most cases, the computer will have been properly set up and configured
by
the dealer or SI prior to delivery. However, it may still be necessary to
adjust
some of the computer's BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) setup
programs to change the system configuration data, like the current date and
time, or the specific
type of hard drive currently installed.
The setup program is stored in read-only memory (ROM). It can be accessed
either when turning on or
resetting the computer, by pressing the “Del” key on
the keyboard immediately after powering up the
computer.
The settings that are specified with the setup program are recorded in a
special
area of the memory called CMOS RAM. This memory is backed up by
a battery
so that it will not be erased when turning off or resetting the system.
Whenever the power is turned on, the system reads the settings stored
in
CMOS RAM and compares them to the equipment check conducted during
the
“power on
self-test” (POST). If an error occurs, an error message is displayed
on screen, and the user is prompted
to run the setup program.

2.4 Installing System Software
Recent releases of operating systems from major vendors include setup
programs which load automatically and guide users through the entire
process of operating system installation. The guidelines below help to
determine the steps necessary to install your operating system on the
computer hard drive.
Note! Some distributors and system integrators may have already
pre- installed system software prior to shipment of your
Mounted
Computer.
The BIOS of the computer supports system boots-up directly from the CD-ROM
drive whenever it is connected
using a USB interface. Insert the system
installation CD- ROM
into the CD-ROM drive.
Power on the computer, or reset the system by pressing the “Ctrl” + “Alt” + “Del”
keys simultaneously. The computer
will automatically load the operating
system from
the diskette or CD-ROM.
When presented with the opening screen of a setup / installation program,
simply fol- low the onscreen
instructions. The setup program guides users
through preparations of the hard drive, and installation of the operating system.
When presented with an operating system command prompt, like, A:\>, then it
is
nec- essary to partition and format the hard drive, and manually copy the
operating sys- tem files to
it. Refer to the operating system user instructions
about partitioning and formatting the hard drive.
2.5 Installing the Drivers
After installing system software, the computer is ready to set up the AMD
chipset, VGA, audio, LAN, and touch screen functions. All the pre-requisite
drivers are stored on
a CD-ROM disc entitled “Drivers and Utilities” (Check the
correct wording
on the CD, which can be found in the accessory box.)
The utility directory includes multimedia programs. Some drivers and utilities
in the CD-ROM disc have
their own text files which help users install the drivers
and under- stand their functions.
These files are a very useful supplement to the information in this manual. For
more details of driver installation please refers to Chapter 5 to 10 of this
manual.
Note! The drivers and utilities used for the TREK-520 are subject to
change without notice. If in doubt, check
Advantech's website or
contact our
application engineers for the latest information regarding
drivers and utilities.
2.6 Programming Function Keys and GPIO/CAN BUS
The Mount Computer provides five function keys, GPIO and CAN bus as
shown in section 2.1. These functions must be activated with the correct
software, that’s why we
provide an AP library for customers to design their own
software. Refer to Appendix
C for more detail.
