Starting Up
Please consider the Hints included in the chapter 4 “General Safety Instruction for IT Equipment”.
When used as intended the KISS 1U platform is to operate only closed and locked.
Only when the cover is properly installed, secured with the knurled screws on the rear and the cover
fastening screw on the front, and the access panel is locked with the key, it is ensured that the user doesn’t
have access to the internal parts of the KISS 1U platform, loaded with hazardous energy.
The rated voltage of the mains (AC) must agree with the voltage value on the type label.
9.1.
AC Power Connection
The AC mains input socket is located on the rear side of the KISS 1U.
Hint for system configuration with AC Wide Range PSU!
Please observe that the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 15, pos. 8) of the AC wide range PSU (Fig. 17) does not
disconnect the KISS 1U platform from the main power source.
Even you turn off the system using the power button (Fig. 8, pos. 7) or the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 15, pos. 8)
of the PSU, there is still a standby-voltage of 5 VSb on the SBC. The unit is completely disconnected from
the mains, only when the power cord is disconnected either from the mains or the unit.
Therefore, the power cord and its connectors must always remain easily accessible.
Please observe the settings option for “Restore on AC Power Loss” in the BIOS Setup.
Setting options: Power On/Power Off/Last State.
Hint fort he ON/OFF switch of the AC wide range PSU
:
This switch is factory-set to “ON” and secured in this position by a bracket (Fig. 15, pos. 9).
Don’t switch OFF the PSU ON/OFF switch (Fig. 17
during operation.
To connect the power cable, proceed as follows:
1.
The grounding stud (Fig. 15, pos. 10) of the KISS 1U system can be connected to an appropriate “common ground”
connection point; (refer to the subsection 7.2.3 “Grounding Stud”, Fig. 18).
2.
Connect the AC power cord to the AC input connector.
3.
Connect the other end of the AC power cord to a corresponding mains outlet.
Use a power cord suitable for the mains power supply in your country.
Make sure that the mains power supply (power outlet) is properly grounded and that the power cord is in
perfect condition without any visible damage. An ungrounded power supply is not permissible.
