Electronic components and circuits are very sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Although our
company designs anti-static protection for the main interfaces on the card when designing circuit
board products, it is difficult to achieve anti-static safety protection for all components and circuits.
Therefore, it is recommended to observe anti-static safety precautions when handling any circuit
board component (including RTSO-9001). Anti-static safety protection measures include, but are not
limited to the following:
a) The smart box should be placed in an anti-static bag during transportation and storage, and then
the board should not be taken out during installation and deployment.
b) Before touching the smart box, discharge the static electricity stored in the body: wear a
discharge grounding wrist strap.
c) Operate the smart box only within the safe area of the electrostatic discharge point.
d) Avoid moving smart boxes in carpeted areas.

3.2 usage
a) Make sure the external system is powered off
b) Install the TX2 core module on the RTSO-9001B J1 (400 Pin plate-to-board connector). Please pay
attention to the alignment between the connectors during the installation process, apply force evenly
and install the fixing screws.
c) Install necessary external cables. (e.g., the display cable to the HDMI display, the power input cable
to power the system, the USB cable to link the keyboard and mouse...)
d) Connect the power cord to the power supply.
e) RTSO-9001 adopts the automatic power on design, turns on the power and the system starts to
work.
f) For the system without protective enclosure, please avoid moving the whole system after the system
is powered on. It is strictly prohibited to use the body to touch the circuit board and its electronic
components.

3.3 Recovery MODE
Jetson TX2 core module can work in normal mode and Recovery mode, under which file system
update, kernel update, Boot Loader update, BCT update and other operations can be carried out.
The steps to enter the Recovery mode are as follows:
a) Power down the device.
b) Use USB cables to connect the lower USB port of RTSO-9001's double LAYER USB port (U4) to
the Jetson development host USB port.
c) Stub 1 pin (FRC) and 2 pin (GND) to J12 Force Recovery interface.
d) Power up the system. Input "LSUSB" command in the development host terminal of Linux system,
and there will be NVidia Corp device, which means the system has entered Recovery mode.
e) Disconnect the J12 short wiring and proceed with subsequent operations.
