Warning !
1. Battery
Batteries on board are consumables.
The life time of them are not guaranteed.
2. Fless solution with HDD
The specification & limitation of HDD should be considered carefully when
the fanless solution is implemented.
3. We will not give further notification in case of changes of
product information and manual.
4. SATA interface does not support Hot SWAP function.
5. There might be a 20% inaccuracy of WDT at room temperature.
6. Please make sure the voltage specification meets the requirement
of equipment before plugging in.
8. Caution! Please notice that the heat dissipation problem could cause the MB
system unstable. Please deal with heat dissipation properly when
buying single MB set.
9. Please avoid approaching the heat sink area to prevent users from
being scalded with fanless products.
12. It is important to install a system fan toward the CPU to decrease
the possibility of overheating / system hanging up issues,
or customer is suggested to have a fine cooling system to dissipate heat
from CPU.
11. DO NOT apply any other material which may reduce cooling
performance onto the thermal pad.
10. If users repair, modify or destroy any component of product unauthorizedly,
We will not take responsibility or provide warranty anymore.
7. There are two types of SSD, commercial grade and industrial grade, which
provide different read/write speed performance, operation temperature and
life cycle. Please contact sales for further information before making orders.

Hardware Notice Guide
1. Before linking power supply with the motherboard, please attach DC-in adapter to
the motherboard first. Then plug the adapter power to AC outlet.
Always shut down the computer normally before you move the system unit or
remove the power supply from the motherboard. Please unplug the DC-in adapter first
and then unplug the adapter from the AC outlet.
Please refer photo 1 as standard procedures.
2. In case of using DIRECT DC-in (without adapter), please check the allowed range
for voltage & current of cables. And make sure you have the safety protection for
outer issues such as short / broken circuit, overvoltage, surge, lightning strike.
3. In case of using DC-out to an external device, please make sure its voltage and
current comply with the motherboard specification.
4. The total power consumption is determined by various conditions
(CPU / motherboard type, device, application, etc.). Be cautious to the power cable
you use for the system, one with UL standard will be highly recommended.
5. It’s highly possible to burn out the CPU if you change/ modify any parts of
the CPU cooler.
6. Please wear wrist strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit
before handling a component. You can also touch an object which is
ground connected or attached with metal surface if you don't have wrist strap.
7. Please be careful to handle & don't touch the sharp-pointed components on
the bottom of PCBA.
8. Remove or change any components form the motherboard will VOID the warranty of
the motherboard.
9. Before you install / remove any components or even make any jumper setting
on the motherboard, please make sure to disconnect the power supply first.
(follow the aforementioned instruction guide)
10. "POWERON after PWR-Fail" function must be used carefully as below:
When the DC power adaptor runs out of power, unplug it from the DC current;
Once power returns, plug it back after 5 seconds.
If there is a power outage, unplug it from the AC current, once power returns,
plug it back after 30 seconds. Otherwise it will cause system locked or made
a severe damage.
Remark 1:
Always insert / unplug the DC-in horizontally & directly to/from the motherboard.
DO NOT twist, it is designed to fit snugly.
Moreover, erratic pull / push action might cause an unpredictable damage to the
component & system unit.

General Information
The 3I170DW is an All-In-One board which is 7th / 6th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 / i5 / i3 and
Pentium® / Celeron® Processor (formerly codenamed Skylake-S & Kaby Lake-S) based
industrial motherboard in the LGA1151 package with Intel® Q170 Express chipset. The
3I170DW supports high-speed data transfer interfaces such as PCIe3.0, USB 3.0, and
SATA 6 Gb/s (SATA III), with one-channel DDR4 2133 MHz memory up to 16 GB in one
SODIMM slot and supports 2 USB 3.0, 8 USB 2.0, 2 COM and 2 SATA III ports, as well as
graphics interface for HDMI and VGA displays.
High-performance and power-efficient communication platform, the embedded
motherboard with wide range 9~36V DC power input and integrated 5 x GbE LAN, 10 x
USB, 2 x COM Port and HDMI, VGA display interface that offer the ideal platforms for high
performance applications in Networking, Smart Automation, Point-Of-Information (POI),
Self-Services, In-vehicle, Industry 4.0 and any compact high-performance Internet of
Things (IoT) applications.
The 3I170DW also supports two serial ports RS232 / RS422 / RS485 auto switch by
BIOS settings and +5V / 12V selectable by jumper. In addition, there are multi-ports of Hi-
Speed USB 3.0 / 2.0 to enhance the host controller interface which will ensure the high
performance level and flexible expansion. The expandable interfaces include two full-
size PCIe Mini card for PCIe x 1 or mSATA (auto-detection) and USB interface. There is
one SIM socket onboard for the mini cards to get the 3G / 4G communication easier and
quickly.
Please kindly contact LEX ([email protected]) if you have any further query or want to get
the detail information.
