Maintenance Features:
- Clear CMOS: A tact switch next to the HDMI connector allows restoring BIOS optimal defaults.
- Hardware Installation: The manual provides detailed steps for installing the memory module, mSATA module, hard disk drive, and Din-rail mounting bracket.
- Memory Module Installation: Involves loosening screws, removing the cover, inserting the module into the DDR socket, pushing down to lock it, and applying "LDC737" silicone on the sides for vibration resistance.
- mSATA Module Installation: Involves loosening screws, removing the cover, inserting the mSATA module into the socket, and fastening it with a screw.
- Hard Disk Drive Installation: Involves loosening screws, removing the cover, loosening screws on the HDD tray, fixing the HDD into the tray, installing the tray back into the system, and connecting the SATA cable.
- Din-rail Mounting: Involves preparing the mounting components (screws and bracket) and assembling the bracket to the system.
- Watchdog Timer: The integrated watchdog timer can be configured to auto-reset the system if it stops working for a while. This can be set up in the system reset mode by program using debug tools, allowing for enabling/disabling the WDT device, selecting logic devices, and setting timer units and base timers.
- Cleaning Tips:
- Always turn off the system and disconnect the power cord before cleaning.
- Use a dry cloth for general cleaning.
- For stubborn dirt, a slightly moistened cloth with water or rubbing alcohol can be used (avoid unknown solvents).
- A vacuum cleaner can be used to remove dust, dirt, hair, and cigarette particles to prevent airflow restriction and circuitry corrosion.
- Cotton swabs moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are suitable for hard-to-reach areas.
- Lint-free foam swabs are recommended whenever possible.
- Avoid dropping components or getting circuit boards damp or wet.
- Be cautious with cleaning solvents and chemicals, especially if allergic to ingredients.
- Keep food, drink, or cigarettes away from the computer.
- Scrap Computer Recycling: Axiomtek recommends contacting their distributor for maintenance, repair, or proper recycling arrangements for computers that are no longer useful or working well.
