2.2 Front Panel I/O & Functions
In Vecow's SPC-4000 series family, most of the general connections to the
computer device, such as audio, USB, VGA, LAN Jack, Isolated COM and
HDMI, are placed on the front panel.
2.2.1 SPC-4010 Front I/O & Functions
2.2.1.1 Reset Tact Switch
It is a hardware reset switch. Use this switch to reset the system without power
o󰀨 the system. Press the Reset Switch for a few seconds, and then the reset
function will be enabled.

2.2.1.2 Power Button
The Power Button is a non-latched switch. To power on the system, press the
power button and then the Green LED is lightened. To power o󰀨 the system, you
can either command shutdown by OS operation or just simply press the power
button. If system error, you can just press the power button for 4 seconds to shut
down the machine directly. Please do note that a 4-second interval between
each 2 power-on/power-o󰀨 operation is necessary in normal working status. (For
example, once turning o󰀨 the system, you have to wait for 4 seconds to initiate
another power-on operation.)
