4.2.3 Replacing the cable grommets
Suitable cable grommets can be found on the icotek homepage: https://www.ico-
tek.com/en/products/cable-grommets/qt
If additional cables are routed out of the enclosure from the concealed interfaces, the cable
grommets must be removed and replaced with suitable cable grommets for the corresponding
cable diameters. The enclosure is designed for cable grommets from the manufacturer icotek.
To replace the cable grommets, they can be removed from the recess and pushed in.
Illustration 8: Replacing the cable grommets
The flat surface of the cable grommets must face the front of the device!

5Commissioning
To put the device into operation, connect the power supply to the unit.
The device starts.
Further steps for commissioning are not necessary.
5.1 Function of the power button
If the device has a power button, it behaves according to the following standard.
When the device is plugged into the power supply, the device boots up without having to press
the power button.
If the power button is pressed while the device is running, the device shuts down.
If the power button is pressed while the device is not running, the device starts up. The power
supply must be present at the device.
Notice:
A different behaviour may occur if the device does not have the standard configuration.
5.2 Unusual situations
Under certain circumstances, the unit may behave in an unusual way. These are listed below.
5.2.1 Sluggish touch behavior
Description of error:
The touch´s functionality is affected. The touch only triggers irregularly and behaves slug-
gishly.
Description:
This behavior can be caused by the power supply unit if there is no conductive connection be-
tween the PE of the primary side and the GND of the secondary side.
Solution:
A power supply unit must be used with a conductive connection between the PE of the primary
side and the GND of the secondary side.

6Software
The Software chapter describes settings and functions that may be required to use the device.
6.1 BIOS Basic Settings
AMI BIOS ROM has built-in settings program that allows users to make basic settings. This in-
formation is stored in a battery supported CMOS RAM, so it remains stored even when there is
no power supply.
Accessing the BIOS works by pressing the "Del" key several times while the device is booting.
The following tabs in the BIOS enable various settings.
Main
Set date
Advanced
Make advanced BIOS settings like: COM, ACPI, etc.
Chipset
SATA and RST configuration
Security
Set administrator password
Boot
Set Boot Option
Save & Exit
Save the settings made and initiate a restart. (Also possible
with the F4 key on the keyboard)
Table 12: BIOS
Pressing F3 and confirming the query "Load Optimized Defaults?" with "Yes" restores the deliv-
ery state.
