◼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-8116G2AR, a PICMG 1.3 Single Host Board (SHB) with the latest Intel 12th Generation Core processors supported Core i3/i5/i7/i9 processors. Portwell's
ROBO-8116G2AR implements flexible PCI Express Gen 5 expansion by one PCI Express x16 (or two PCI Express x 8) with dedicated processor sku, which is
ideal for a range of applications, such as Industrial Automation, Digital Signage, and Medical.
ROBO-8116G2AR adopt Intel R680E and Q670E PCH. Providing up to 64GB DDR5 4800 So-DIMM system memory supported with ECC or non-ECC option.
ROBO-8116G2AR with the 12th 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-D ,HDMI and DP. Rich I/O functions are also provided by ROBO-8116G2AR single
host board, which is 1x USB 3.2(Gen2x2_ Type C), 2x USB 3.2(Gen2) , 2x USB 3.2(Gen1), 8x USB 2.0 (4 ports via backplane), 4x 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-8116G2AR not only provides a way to upgrade to use the latest Intel processors, but
also supporting legacy elements such as four PCI expansion, four Serial ports.
