To turn on the ABP-2000 series, press the power button
and the blue LED is lighted up.To turn off the ABP-2000
series, you can either issue a shutdown command in
OS, or just simply press the power button.
In case of system halts, you can press and hold the
power button for 4 seconds to compulsorily shut down
the system.Please note that a 4 seconds interval is kept
by the system between two on/off operations (i.e. once
turning off the system, you shall wait for 4 seconds to
initiate another power-on operation).
2.2.3 Rest Tact Switch
It is a hardware reset switch. Use this switch to reset
the system without turning off the power. Momentarily
pressing the switch will activate a reset.
2.2.4 Ethernet Ports
Yellow-HDD LED: A hard disk / CFast LED. If the LED
is on, it indicates that the system’s storage is functional.
If it is off, it indicates that the system’s storage is not
functional. If it is flashing, it indicates data access
activities.
Green-Power LED: If the LED is solid green, it indicates
that the system is powered on.

The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet LAN ports 1 and 2 use
8-pin RJ-45 connectors. LNA1 and LAN2 are equipped
with Intel® 82574L controllers.
Using suitable RJ-45 cable, you can connect ABP-
2000 series system to a computer, or to any other
piece of equipment that has an Ethernet connection,
for example, a hub or a switch. Moreover, both of
them have Wake-on-LAN and pre-boot Execution
Environment capabilities.

It is for connecting an eSATA storage device. There
was no clear mechanism to distinguish if a mSATA drive
or a Mini PCI-E device is plugged into the socket until
recently that SATA-IO issued an ECN change (ECN
#045) to re-define pin 43 on mSATA connector as “no
connect” instead of “return current path” ( or GND).
When an mSATA drive is inserted, its pin 43 is “no
connect”, and the respective pin on the socket is
being pulled-up to logic 1. When a Mini PCI-E device
is inserted, its pin 43 forces the respective pin on the
socket to ground, or logic 0.

2.5 Main Board Jumper Setting
The gure below is the top view of the ABP-2000 series
main board. It shows the location of the jumpers.
You may configure your card to match the needs of
your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is a metal
bridge used to close an electric circuit.
It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often
protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to
connect them.
To “close” a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip.
To “open” a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a
jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this
case you would connect either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3.
2.4.8 GPS Module
The ABP-2000 series offers a u-blox NEO-7 GPS/GNSS
modules (can upgrade to NEO-8 ) and 2.0mm diameter
I-PEX antenna connector with 3.3 voltage power.
Antenna circuit as follows.
