Warning
The Box PC and its components contain very delicately Integrated Circuits
(IC). To protect the Box PC and its components against damage caused by
static electricity, you should always follow the precautions below when han-
dling it:
1. Disconnect your Box PC from the power source when you want to work on
the inside.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap when handling computer components.
3. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came
with the Box PC, whenever components are separated from the system.
Replacing the Lithium Battery
Incorrect replacement of the lithium battery may lead to a risk of explosion.
The lithium battery must be replaced with an identical battery or a battery type
recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not throw lithium batteries into the trashcan. It must be disposed of in
accordance with local regulations concerning special waste.

General Information
1.1 Introduction
Both Box PCs, FPC-7500 and FPC-7502, are targeted at many different
application elds. By adopting it, you can pinpoint specic markets, such as
Thin Client, KIOSK, information booth, GSM Server, environment-critical and
space-critical applications.
• All-In-One Platform
The CPU, DRAM and even software are integrated to provide a plug-
and-play machine.
• Compact-sized
The kernel of FPC-7500/FPC-7502 is FMB-i57M1, which is a non-
standard form factor embedded board. The whole system consumes
only a few space.
• Fanless and Modular CPU Board
By using a low power processor, the system does not have to rely on
fans, which are often unreliable and cause dust to circulate inside the
equipment. The modular design facilitates maintenance or possible
upgrades on the CPU board. Modular Box PC can be easily modied
to t many different applications according to customers' requests.
• Powerful Communication Capability
The FPC-7500/FPC-7502 provides COM, LPT, Ethernet, USB, Mini
Card slot, DVI and Digital I/O expansion slot.
• Numerous Display/Video Output
Integrated with Intel® HD Graphics core, FPC-7500/FPC-7502
improves graphics and 3D rendering performance and supports
numerous display/video output options includes VGA and
DisplayPort.
• Advanced Storage Solution
FPC-7500 / FPC-7502 comes with Compact Flash slot, which offers
a better, faster and more cost-effective expansibilities for various
applications.
• Trustworthy
The onboard Watchdog Timer can invoke an NMI or system RESET
when your application loses control over the system.
