Safety Precautions
Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions.
1. User should not modify any unmentioned jumper setting without Axiomtek FAE’s
instruction. Any modification without instruction might cause system to become
damage
2. The eBOX550-100-FL does not come equipped with an operating system. An
operating system must be loaded first before installing any software into the
computer.
3. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing the internal
components. Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in
any static-shielded devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to static
electrical charge.
4. Disconnect the power cord from the eBOX550-100-FL before making any
installation. Be sure both the system and the external devices are turned OFF.
Sudden surge of power could ruin sensitive components. Make sure the eBOX550-
100-FL is properly grounded.
5. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the
equipment to the power outlet.
6. Turn OFF the system power before cleaning. Clean the system using a cloth only.
Do not spray any liquid cleaner directly onto the screen.
7. Do not leave this equipment in an uncontrolled environment where the storage
temperature is below -20℃or above 80℃. It may damage the equipment.
8. Do not open the system’s cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must,
only a trained technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer
boards are sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from
electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the
system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to discharge any static
electricity on your body.
When handling boards/components, wear a wrist-grounding strap, available
from most electronic component stores.

iv
Thermal Precautions
1. Make sure there is enough air circulation space when install eBOX550-100-FL,
please leave at least 5 CM (about 2 inches) clearance area around eBOX550-100-
FL.
2 The fins, heats ink and vents should not obstructed by objects. Blocking those
thermal solutions may cause over-heating.

v
Classification
Degree of production against electric shock: not classified
Degree of protection against the ingress of water: IP40
Equipment does not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture
with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
Mode of operation: Continuous

vi
General Cleaning Tips
You may need the following precautions before you begin to clean the computer. When
you clean any single part or component for the computer, please read and understand
the details below fully.
When you need to clean the device, please rub it with a piece of dry cloth.
1. Be cautious of the tiny removable components when you use a vacuum cleaner to
absorb the dirt on the floor.
2. Turn the system off before you start to clean up the component or computer.
3. Never drop the components inside the computer or get circuit board damp or wet.
4. Be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals when you use it for the
sake of cleaning. Some individuals may be allergic to the ingredients.
5. Try not to put any food, drink or cigarette around the computer.
Cleaning Tools:
Although many companies have created products to help improve the process of
cleaning your computer and peripherals users can also use household items to clean
their computers and peripherals. Below is a listing of items you may need or want to use
while cleaning your computer or computer peripherals.
Keep in mind that some components in your computer may only be able to be cleaned
using a product designed for cleaning that component, if this is the case it will be
mentioned in the cleaning.
Cloth: A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up a component.
Although paper towels or tissues can be used on most hardware as well, we still
recommend you to rub it with a piece of cloth.
Water or rubbing alcohol: You may moisten a piece of cloth a bit with some water
or rubbing alcohol and rub it on the computer. Unknown solvents may be harmful
to the plastics parts.
Vacuum cleaner: Absorb the dust, dirt, hair, cigarette particles, and other particles
out of a computer can be one of the best methods of cleaning a computer. Over
time these items can restrict the airflow in a computer and cause circuitry to
corrode
Cotton swabs: Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are excellent tools for
wiping hard to reach areas in your keyboard, mouse, and other locations.
Foam swabs: Whenever possible it is better to use lint free swabs such as foam swabs.
Note: We strongly recommended that you should shut down the system before you start to
clean any single components.
Please follow the steps below:
1. Close all application programs
2. Close operating software
3. Turn off power switch
4. Remove all device
5. Pull out power cable

vii
Scrap Computer Recycling
If the computer equipment need the maintenance or are beyond repair, we strongly
recommended that you should inform your Axiomtek distributor as soon as possible for
the suitable solution. For the computers that are no longer useful or no longer working
well, please contact your Axiomtek distributor for recycling and we will make the proper
arrangement.
