◼Handling and Installing SBC
Caution: Do not just hold any single side of the SBC; hold evenly on both sides!
⚫Heavy processor cooler may bend the SBC when SBC being held just on one side.
⚫The bending may cause soldering or components damaged.

◼Fix your SBC in System
Caution: Suggest your S.I or vendor to use a metal bracket to hold/fix the desktop or server grade SBC to avoid the vibration damage during transportation. Heavy processor
cooler may bend the SBC when systems are during transportation without any holder.
Example:
⚫4U chassis :
➔Use L type mental or plastic or rubber bracket to hold SBC.

1Introduction
ROBO-8114VG2AR, a PICMG 1.3 Single Host Board (SHB) with the latest Intel 8th Generation Core processors supported from E3 class Xeon processors to
Core i3 processors. Portwell's ROBO-8114VG2AR implements flexible PCI Express Gen 3 expansion by one PCI Express x16 or two PCI Express x 8 or one
PCI Express x8 and two PCI Express x4 with dedicated processor sku, which is ideal for a range of applications, such as Industrial Automation, Digital Signage,
and Medical.
ROBO-8114VG2AR adopt Intel C246 and Q370 PCH. Providing up to 128GB DDR4 2133 SO-DIMM system memory supported with ECC or non-ECC option.
ROBO-8114VG2AR with the 8th generation Intel® processor family features and integrated, enhanced graphics engine which provides significant 3D
performance, up to DirectX® 12. It supports triple display function via DVI-I (VGA and DVI-D) and HDMI up to 4Kx2K. Rich I/O functions are also provided by
ROBO-8114VG2AR single host board, which is 2x USB 3.1, 8x USB 3.0, 5x SATA III ports (dual ports via backplane), 2x RS232 ports, 2x smart COM ports
which select RS232/422/485 mode by bios adjustment, and dual Intel GbE LAN ports. It also supports on board TPM 2.0 to secure your applications.
For the industries who already have large install based systems, ROBO-8114VG2AR not only provides a way to upgrade to use the latest Intel processors, but
also supporting legacy elements such as VGA, four PCI expansion, four Serial ports and PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse.
