18. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
19. CAUTION: Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you work
with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic
components can be damaged by sudden power surges.
20. CAUTION: Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the motherboard,
backplane, or add-on cards. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric
charges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic
components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the
chassis.
21. CAUTION: Any unverified component could cause unexpected damage. To ensure the correct
installation, please always use the components (ex. screws) provided with the accessory box.
22. Caution text concerning lithium batteries:
23 "Rack Mount Instructions - The following or similar rack-mount instructions are included with the
installation instructions:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air
flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over current protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used
when addressing this concern.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch
circuit (e.g. use of power strips)."

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: 6-36 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.
4. CompactFlash: Turn off the power before inserting or removing

TREK-550 User manual 12
1.1 Introduction
The TREK-550 is a dedicated box computer for industrial vehicle fleets, transport trucks,
buses and taxis. TREK-550 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 fleet driver and another to a digital signage application.
Built-in wireless communications (WWAN) enable TREK-550 to send important
driver/vehicle/location/cargo information back to the control center. TREK-550 can also
operate in extreme environments with features like a wide working temperature range (-30
to 70 degrees). TREK-550 also uses a special design to handle the critical issue of in-vehicle
power. Special power protection (ISO7637-2/SAE J1455 Class A/ SAE J1113) and car 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 car
power. TREK-550 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-550 can also support dead-reckoning feature, which means the truck
can still be traced even the driver is driving in a tunnel.

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 the Drivers for Win XP
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
updated driver please refers to Advantech website, www.advantech.com/support
The drivers for TREK-550 are listed as below, please just execute the drivers for installation
Note! The drivers and utilities used for the TREK-550 are subject to change without
notice. If you are in doubt, check Advantech's website or contact our
application engineers for the latest information regarding drivers and
utilities.
