Handling Precautions
Be sure to read the following precautions before using your BOX-PC so
that you may use it trouble free for many years to come:
•Do not use or store the equipment where it is exposed to extremely
high or low temperature or to an abrupt change in temperature.
Examples: -Under direct sunlight
-Near a heat source
•Do not use or store the equipmentin a highly humid or dusty place. It
is very dangerous to use the equipment with water, liquid, or
conductive dust left inside. If the equipment must be used in such an
unfavorable environment, install it in a dusttight structure such as a
dust-proof control panel.
•Do not use or store the equipment where it is subject to shock or
vibration.
•Do not use the equipment near a device generating a strong magnetic
field or noise, or the field or noise may cause the equipment to
malfunction.
•Do not use or store the equipment where it is exposed to any chemical
directly or as vapor in the air.
•The heat sink on top of the equipment may heat up to cause a burn.
Do not touch the heat sink directly when the equipment is on or
immediately after turning the power supply off. Avoid installing the
equipment where one can inadvertently touch the heat sink.
•To clean the equipment, wipe it carefully with a soft cloth damped
with water or a solution of neutral detergent. Keep in mind that using
a volatile solvent, such as benzine or thinner, or a chemical can cause
the coating to peel or discolor.
•For continuous operation with a hard disk drive (HDD), be sure to use
the HDD in standby mode. Using the HDD not in standby mode for
continuous operation considerably shortens the lifespan.
(For details, refer to the warning document attached to the optional
product (2.5inch HDD).
•Be sure to unplug the power cable before mounting or demounting an
expansion board (on Model EP) or before connecting or
disconnecting a cable to any connector.
•CONTEC bears absolutely no responsibility for the equipment which
has been modified.
•If you find any fault or abnormal symptom (such as an unusual smell
or overheat), unplug the power cable first and consult your local
retailer or the CONTEC.
•Use an AC cable which conforms to the rated supply voltage and wall
outlet to be used. (The attached cable is for 125VAC.)

IPC-BX/M560(PCW) iii
•Life Expectancy of Constituent Parts
•Power supply
Assuming continuous use at 25°C, the expected life of the power
supply is approximately 60,000 hours. This may be lower given
use at higher temperatures.
•Battery
A lithium primary battery is used to back up the internal calendar
time and CMOS RAM. The backup time when the power supply
is turned off is more than 10 years at 25°C.
*The replacement of consumables is handled as a repair (charges
will be assessed)

3. Hardware Setup
Setup Overview
Follow the steps below to set up your BOX-PC according to the
instructions in this manual:
Step 1 Installing a hard disk drive and main memory (DIMMs)
and Setting Jumper Switches
See Chapter 3to install the hard disk drive and main
memory and set the required jumper switches.
Step 2 Connecting Cables
Connect the cables for the required external devices such
as a printer and a CRT display to the BOX-PC.
Step 3 Turning the Power On
Make sure again that you have taken Steps 1 and 2
correctly, then turn the power supply on. If you find or
suspect any problem after turning the power on, turn it off
immediately and check whether the BOX-PC has been set
up correctly.
Step 4 Setting up the BIOS
See Chapter 4to set up the BIOS. Note that BIOS Setup
requires the keyboard and monitor connected correctly to
the BOX-PC.
*Be sure to execute "LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS" to
initialize the BIOS setup states before using the BOX-PC
for the first time. (See "Main Menu" in Chapter 4.)
