Starting Up
Before using your system, become familiar with the system components and follow the startup instructions below.
10.1.
Connecting to Power Supply
The KBox A-150-HSW connects to a DC main power supply via a Phoenix power connector on the KBox A-150 HSW’s
front panel and corresponding power cable.
When starting the KBox A-150-HSW, the functional earth connection must always be made
first and disconnected last. Kontron recommended that the last connections attached to the
system should be the power cable. Following a proper cabling procedure will prevent a false
power-on condition, which could result in an operational failure.
The KBox A-150-HSW must be connected to a DC mains power supply complying with the
SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) requirements of EN 60950-1 standard. It must be observed
that wiring and short-circuit/overcurrent protection is performed according to the
applicable standards, regulations and respect to the electrical specification of the KBox A-
150-HSW. The disconnecting device (fuse/circuit breaker) rating must be in accordance with
the KBox A-150-HSW’s wire cross-section.
To start the KBox A-150-HSW follow the steps below:
1.
Ensure that the DC power source is switched off via a disconnecting device (circuit breaker), in order to ensure
that no power is flowing from the external DC power source during the connection procedure.
2.
Connect the ground pin to an appropriate common earth connection point.
3.
Connect the supplied Phoenix PSC 1,5/3-F power connector with wiring (refer to Chapter9.2: Power Connector
and Chapter 9.2.1: Wiring the DC Mating Power Connector ) to the Input power connector located on the front
panel, see Figure 4 (pos. 1). Pay attention to the polarity of the connections.
4.
Connect the other end of the DC power cable to the DC main power supply.
5.
Switch on the disconnecting device (circuit breaker) in order to apply voltage to the KBox-A-150-HSW.
10.1.1.
Power Button
A power button is available on the front panel, see Figure 4 (pos.5). The power button performs an orderly system
shut down with no loss of data and then reapplies power to resume operation.
Do not disconnect the power while KBox A-150-HSW is powered up!
Performing a forced shutdown can lead to loss of data or other undesirable effects!
10.2.
Operating System (OS) and Drivers
The standard KBox-A-150-HSW is fully operational when switched on for the first time with pre-installed OS and
drivers. Drivers are available from Kontron’s website (customer section).
If ordered without pre-installed OS you will need to install the operating system and the appropriate drivers for the
system configuration ordered (optional hardware components), before starting the KBox-A-150-HSW.
