Installation Recommendations
Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get
into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small
components separated.
Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally
damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow
require only a few simple tools, including the following:
▪A Philips screwdriver
▪A flat-tipped screwdriver
▪A grounding strap
▪An anti-static pad
Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recommended
that you do not use needlenose pliers to disconnect connections as these
can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.
Safety Information
Before installing and using the device, note the following precautions:
Read all instructions carefully.
▪Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.
▪Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual.
▪When replacing parts, ensure that your service technician uses parts
specified by the manufacturer.
▪Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating
device.
▪The load of the system unit does not solely rely for support from the
rackmounts located on the sides. Firm support from the bottom is highly
necessary in order to provide balance stability.
The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock circuit.
There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Power Management
▪Power-on delay time is selectable by BIOS to disable and enable in 10sec
/ 30sec / 1min / 5min / 10 min / 15min / 30min / 1hr.
▪Power-off delay time is selectable by BIOS to disable and enable in 20sec
/ 1min / 5min / 10min / 30min / 1hr / 6hr / 18hr.
▪S3, S4 suspend mode
▪Ignition On/Off status detectable by SW
▪Low battery status detectable by SW
▪Ignition enable/disable is jumper selectable
▪Shut down system automatically when the system’s internal temperature
is over 80C.
▪VTC 6201 / VTC 6201-M will automatically shut down 5 minutes after
the duration of low battery voltage is over 60 sec. User can detect this
situation via software.
▪If the ignition is off and the system is still on after 3 minutes, VTC 6201 /
VTC 6201-M will shut down automatically.
▪If the ignition is off, the user can detect this status via the software.
▪If the ignition is turned on again and the power-off delay is in progress,
VTC 6201 / VTC 6201-M will cancel the delay function and will continue
to operate normally.

▪If the ignition is turned on again and the power-off delay ended,
VTC 6201 / VTC 6201-M will shut down completely will power-on again
automatically.
▪If the ignition is turned off again and power-on delay is in progress,
VTC 6201 / VTC 6201-M will cancel the delay and stay in power-off
status.
▪If the ignition is turned off again and the power-on delay ended (in BIOS
process), VTC 6201 / VTC 6201-M will shut down immediately.
▪If VTC 6201 / VTC 6201-M is off, only below 10mA is used.

Startup and Shutdown Mode (Refer to SW2 setting)
The start up and shut down setting modes are as follows.
1. Mode A (default setting). When the input power voltage is 12V, use SW2
to select this voltage. Use the BIOS to select the start up and shut down
voltages.
2. Mode B. When the input power voltage is 24V, use SW2 to select this
voltage. Use the BIOS to select the start up and shut down voltages.
3. Mode C. When the input power voltage is 48V, use SW2 to select this
voltage. Use the BIOS to select the start up and shut down voltages.
Vehicle PC Mode
Mode A (default setting). When the ignition is from “low” to “high”,
VTC 6201 / VTC 6201-M will turn on automatically. When the ignition is
“high”, press the power button to turn off VTC 6201 / VTC 6201-M.
When the ignition is from “high” to “low”, VTC 6201 / VTC 6201-M will
turn off automatically.
