Safety information
Electrical safety
To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet before
relocating the system.
When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables for the
devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables
from the existing system before you add a device.
Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that all power cables are
unplugged.
Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These devices could interrupt
the grounding circuit.
Make sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area.
If you are not sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact your local power
company.
If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified service technician or
your local distributor.

Chapter 3: Installation
This chapter provides more detailed information and let you know how to install components into the
ROC236A 1U Rack-mount Fanless Rugged System
3.1 Remove the top case
Prior to removing the chassis cover, make sure the unit’s power is off and disconnected from the
power sources to prevent electric shock or system damage.
Please verify all screws (or bolts) have been properly fastened to avoid damages which may be
caused by loosened parts.
1. Remove the mounting screws and put them in a safe place for later use. Take the top case off by slide it.
3.2 Replace the top case
1. Slide the top case and align the mounting on the top side and lateral side of the bottom case.

2. Insert one screw in each mounting holes and secure the top case. Use original screws.
3.3 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD installation
ROC236A supports 1 x 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD
1. Remove the mounting screws and put them in a safe place for later use. Remove the HDD bracket.

2. Align the mounting holes of SSD/HDD and HDD bracket. With the SSD/HDD right side up, place the
SSD/HDD on the bracket. Make sure the connectors of SSD/HDD are toward front side
3. Turn the SSD/HDD and bracket over and insert one screw in each mounting hole on the bottom of the
bracket. Using accessory item P/N: 0F0100500600100L
4. Replace the bracket to its original place and insert one screw in each mounting hole (using the original
screws). Connect SATA-to-SATA interface cable and SATA power cable. Finally replace the top case to its
original place and insert one screw in each mounting hole (using the original screws)

3.4 Memory module installation
ROC236A supports 1 x 204-pin SO-DIMM DDR3 1333/1600 MHz up to 8GB
1. On the bottom side, remove the mounting screws and then put them in a safe place for later use.
Remove the service window then find the memory module socket.
2. Insert the notched end of the memory module into the memory slot. Press the memory module in firmly,
and pivot it downward until it snaps into place. Ensure that the memory module is firmly installed in the
slot and does not move easily.

3. Finally replace the service window and secure it by insert one screw to the mounting hole. Use original
screws
3.5 Rack mount bracket installation
1. Put each ear bracket next to the right side and left side of the bottom case, align the mounting holes.
2. Insert one screw in each mounting hole. Using accessory item P/N: 0F013250600000L

Chapter 4: AMI BIOS UTILITY
This chapter provides users with detailed descriptions on how to set up a basic system configuration through
the AMI BIOS setup utility.
4.1 Starting
To enter the setup screens, perform the following steps:
 Turn on the computer and press the <Del> key immediately.
 After the <Del> key is pressed, the main BIOS setup menu displays. Other setup screens can be accessed
from the main BIOS setup menu, such as the Chipset and Power menus.
4.2 Navigation Keys
The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of the BIOS setup utility hot
keys can be used at any time during the setup navigation process.
Some of the hot keys are <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, and <Arrow> keys.
Some of the navigation keys may differ from one screen to another.
Left/Right The Left and Right <Arrow> keys moves the cursor to select a menu.
Up/Down The Up and Down <Arrow> keys moves the cursor to select a setup screen or sub-
screen.
+− Plus/Minus The Plus and Minus <Arrow> keys changes the field value of a particular setup setting.
Tab The <Tab> key selects the setup fields.
F1 The <F1> key displays the General Help screen.
F10 The <F10> key saves any changes made and exits the BIOS setup utility.
Esc The <Esc> key discards any changes made and exits the BIOS setup utility.
Enter The <Enter> key displays a sub-screen or changes a selected or highlighted option in
each menu.

4.3 Main
The Main menu is the first screen that you will see when you enter the BIOS Setup Utility.
System Language
Use this function to select the system language.
System Date
Use this function to change the system date.
Select System Date using the Up and Down <Arrow> keys. Enter the new values through the keyboard. Press
the Left and Right <Arrow> keys to move between fields.
The date setting must be entered in MM/DD/YY format.

System Time
Use this function to change the system time.
Select System Time using the Up and Down <Arrow> keys. Enter the new values through the keyboard. Press
the Left and Right <Arrow> keys to move between fields.
The time setting is entered in HH:MM:SS format.
Note: The time is in 24-hour format. For example, 5:30 A.M. appears as 05:30:00, and 5:30 P.M. as 17:30:00.
Access Level
Displays the access level of the current user in the BIOS.
4.4 Advanced
The Advanced Menu allows you to configure your system for basic operation. Some entries are defaults
required by the system board, while others, if enabled, will improve the performance of your system or let
you set some features according to your preference. Setting incorrect field values may cause the system to
malfunction.
