Safety Precautions
Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions.
1. The IPC932-230-FL Series does not come equipped with an operating
system. An operating system must be loaded first before installing any
software into the computer.
2. 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.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the IPC932-230-FL Series 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
IPC932-230-FL Series is properly grounded.
4. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the
equipment to the power outlet.
5. Turn OFF the system power before cleaning. Clean the system using a cloth
only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner directly onto the screen.
6. Do not leave this equipment in an uncontrolled environment where the
storage temperature is below -20℃or above 80℃. It may damage the
equipment.
7. Do not open the system’s back 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 and components, wear a wrist-grounding strap,
available from most electronic component stores.

iv
Classification
1. Degree of production against electric shock: not classified
2. Degree of protection against the ingress of water: IPX0
3. Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with
air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
4. Mode of operation: Continuous
5. Type of protection against electric shock: Class I equipment
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.

v
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: It is 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

vi
Scrap Computer Recycling
If the computer equipments 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.

1.7.4 Front Panel Connector (CN3)
Power LED
This 3-pin connector denoted as Pin 1 and Pin 5 connects the system power
LED indicator to such a switch on the case. Pin 1 is assigned as +, and Pin 5 as
-. The Power LED lights up when the system is powered ON. Pin 3 is defined as
GND.
External Speaker and Internal Buzzer Connector
Pin 2, 4, 6 and 8 can be connected to the case-mounted speaker unit or internal
buzzer. While connecting the CPU card to an internal buzzer, please short pins
2-4; while connecting to an external speaker, you need to set pins 2-4 to Open
and connect the speaker cable to pin 8 (+) and pin 2 (-).
ATX Power On/Off Button
This 2-pin connector denoted as Pin 9 and 10 connects the front panel’s ATX
power button to the CPU card, which allows users to control ATX power supply
to be power on/off.
System Reset Switch
Pin 11 and 12 can be connected to the case-mounted reset switch that reboots
your computer instead of turning OFF the power switch. It is a better way to
reboot your system for a longer life of the system’s power supply.
HDD Activity LED
This connection is linked to hard drive activity LED on the control panel. LED
flashes when HDD is being accessed. Pin 13 and 14 connect the hard disk drive
to the front panel HDD LED, Pin 13 assigned as -, and Pin 14 as +.

1.7.7 FAN Connectors (FAN1, FAN2)
Fans are always needed for cooling down CPU and system temperature. The board has two
fan connectors. You can find fan speed option(s) at BIOS Setup Utility if either fan is installed.
For further information, see BIOS Setup Utility: Advanced\HW Monitor\PC Health
Status.System and auxiliary fan interfaces are available through FAN1 and FAN2, see table
below.
CPU fan interface is available through FAN2, see table below.
1.7.8 Ethernet Ports (LAN1 and LAN2)
The board has two RJ-45 connectors; LAN1 (for i217LM) and LAN2 (for i210AT). Ethernet
connection can be established by plugging one end of the Ethernet cable into this RJ-45
connector and the other end (phone jack) to a 1000/100/10-Base-T hub.
