This product has passed the CE test for environmental specifications. Test conditions for passing included
the equipment being operated within an industrial enclosure. In order to protect the product from being
damaged by ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and EMI leakage, we strongly recommend the use of
CE-compliant industrial enclosure products.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment
in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case users will be required to correct the
interference at their own expense.
Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:
Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free during and after installation.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in the chassis. Fasten your tie or scarf
and roll up your sleeves.
Wear safety glasses if you are working under any conditions that might be hazardous to your
eyes.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment
unsafe.
Disconnect all power by turning off the power and unplugging the power cord before installing
or removing a chassis or working near power supplies
Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check the circuit.

Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions.
Installation only by a trained electrician or only by an electrically trained person who knows all
English Installation and Device Specifications which are to be applied.
Do not carry the handle of power supplies when moving to another place.
The machine can only be used in a fixed location such as labs or computer facilities.
Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature may not be adequate to cool
equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate circulation. Be sure that the
room in which you choose to operate your system has adequate air circulation.
Ensure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis design allows cooling air to circulate
effectively. An open chassis permits air leaks, which may interrupt and redirect the flow of cooling
air from internal components.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage
occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or
intermittent failures. Be sure to follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing
components to avoid these problems.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. If no wrist strap is
available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10
megohms (Mohms).
Suivez ces consignes pour assurer la sécurité générale :
Laissez la zone du châssis propre et sans poussière pendant et après l’installation.
Ne portez pas de vêtements amples ou de bijoux qui pourraient être pris dans le châssis.
Attachez votre cravate ou écharpe et remontez vos manches.
Portez des lunettes de sécurité pour protéger vos yeux.
N’effectuez aucune action qui pourrait créer un danger pour d’autres ou rendre l’équipement
dangereux.
Coupez complètement l’alimentation en éteignant l’alimentation et en débranchant le cordon
d’alimentation avant d’installer ou de retirer un châssis ou de travailler à proximité de sources
d’alimentation.
Ne travaillez pas seul si des conditions dangereuses sont présentes.
Ne considérez jamais que l’alimentation est coupée d’un circuit, vérifiez toujours le circuit. Cet
appareil génère, utilise et émet une énergie radiofréquence et, s’il n’est pas installé et utilisé

5
conformément aux instructions des fournisseurs de composants sans fil, il risque de provoquer
des interférences dans les communications radio.
Risque d’explosion si la pile est remplacée par une autre d’un mauvais type.
Jetez les piles usagées conformément aux instructions.
L’installation doit être effectuée par un électricien formé ou une personne formée à l’électricité
connaissant toutes les spécifications d’installation et d’appareil du produit.
Ne transportez pas l’unité en la tenant par le câble d’alimentation lorsque vous déplacez
l’appareil.
La machine ne peut être utilisée qu’à un lieu fixe comme en laboratoire, salle d’ordinateurs ou
salle de classe.
L’équipement électrique génère de la chaleur. La température ambiante peut ne pas être
adéquate pour refroidir l’équipement à une température de fonctionnement acceptable sans
circulation adaptée. Vérifiez que votre site propose une circulation d’air adéquate.
Vérifiez que le couvercle du châssis est bien fixé. La conception du châssis permet à l’air de
refroidissement de bien circuler. Un châssis ouvert laisse l’air s’échapper, ce qui peut interrompre
et rediriger le flux d’air frais destiné aux composants internes.
Les décharges électrostatiques (ESD) peuvent endommager l’équipement et gêner les circuits
électriques. Des dégâts d’ESD surviennent lorsque des composants électroniques sont mal
manipulés et peuvent causer des pannes totales ou intermittentes. Suivez les procédures de
prévention d’ESD lors du retrait et du remplacement de composants.
Portez un bracelet anti-ESD et veillez à ce qu’il soit bien au contact de la peau. Si aucun bracelet
n’est disponible, reliez votre corps à la terre en touchant la partie métallique du châssis.
Vérifiez régulièrement la valeur de résistance du bracelet antistatique, qui doit être comprise
entre 1 et 10 mégohms (Mohms).
Avant d’allumer l’appareil, reliez le câble de mise à la terre de l’équipement à la terre.
Une bonne mise à la terre (connexion à la terre) est très importante pour protéger l’équipement
contre les effets néfastes du bruit externe et réduire les risques d’électrocution en cas de foudre.
Pour désinstaller l’équipement, débranchez le câble de mise à la terre après avoir éteint l’appareil.
Un câble de mise à la terre est requis et la zone reliant les sections du conducteur doit faire plus
de 4 mm2 ou 10 AWG.

Desserrez la vis du terminal de mise à la terre.
Branchez le câble de mise à la terre à la terre.
L’appareil de protection pour la source
d’alimentation CC doit fournir 30 A de courant.
Cet appareil de protection doit être branché à la
source d’alimentation avant l’alimentation CC.

Thank you for choosing Lanner's NCA-1010. This desktop platform is Lanner’s revolutionary ultra compact
x86 networking system built with Intel Bay Trail CPU (Atom™E3815). The central processor comes with
hardware-assisted security mechanisms including AES-NI, Secure Boot and TPM, allowing only authorized
software or data to run on NCA-1010. With built-in instruction commands, NCA-1010 helps manage and
secure devices connected to local WiFi network, like a compact entry-level firewall or multi-service gateway.
Despite its compact size, NCA-1010 delivers rich I/O connectivity and scalability. In terms of scalability,
NCA-1010 comes with one HDMI port for high definition display, one console port for device network
management, three LAN ports for network connections, two USB ports (one in USB 2.0 and another in USB
3.0 specifications) for external devices, and one antenna hole for signal reception. The rich I/O connectivity
makes NCA-1010 a widely deployable system in small area network environments.
For scalability, the inside of NCA-1010 provides one full-length mini-PCIe socket for Wi-Fi/3G/LTE module
to bring wireless connectivity to the system. In addition, there is also a half-length mini-PCIe socket for
mSATA storage. This will allow NCA-1010 to serve as a local media server when connected wirelessly.
With the features discussed above, NCA-1010 is ideally applicable in multi-service gateway control, entry
firewall for SMEs, retail, library and hospital environments, as well as wireless network access and
bandwidth management in small area networks.
