If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example,
CPU speed, Advantech products used, other hardware and software used,
etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any onscreen messages you get
when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual,
product, and any helpful information readily available.

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: 9-32 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.

1.1 Introduction
The TREK-674 is a dedicated box computer for industrial, transport trucks,
buses and taxis. TREK-674 combined with variety of I/O connectors can be
connected to devices like OBD-II (see Ch3.3) or TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System) external modules via COM port. 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-674 to
send important driver/ location/cargo information back to the control center.
TREK-674 can also operate in extreme environments with features like a
wide working temperature range (-30 to 70 degrees). TREK-674 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.

2.1 A Quick Tour of the TREK-674 Computingbox.
Before starting to set up the ComputingBox, 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.

2.3 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 drive
whenever it is connected using a USB interface.
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 .
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.
Note! The drivers and utilities used for the TREK-674 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.
2.4 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.
