Hardware Setup
Caution
Be sure to observe the EMC security measures. Make sure you are always at the
same potential as the module.
Caution
Never connect or disconnect peripherals like HDD's while the board's power
supply is connected and switched on!
Connect the Hurricane-LX800 to a VGA monitor. Connect either PS/2 or USB keyboard and mouse, respectively.
Use the 40-wire flat ribbon cable to connect the hard disk. Make sure that the pins match their counterparts
correctly and are not twisted. If you plan to use additional other peripherals, now is the time to connect them, too.
Connect a 5 volt, 3 amps power supply to the power connector and switch the power on.
Note The 3 amps value is the minimum you should have for the standard peripherals
mentioned. If you want to use more and/or others, please plan your power budget
first! The system will not work if there is not enough supply current for all your
devices.
The display shows the BIOS messages. If you want to change the standard BIOS settings, press the <F1> key to
enter the BIOS menu. See chapter 4.1 for BIOS setup details.
If you need to load the BIOS default values, they can be automatically loaded at boot time. To achieve this, push
the Reset-Button five times while the system is booting.
The Hurricane-LX800 boots from CD drives, USB floppy, USB stick, or hard disk. Provided that any of these is
connected and contains a valid operating system image, the display then shows the boot screen of your operating
system.
The Hurricane-LX800 does not need any cooling measures, neither at standard environment temperatures from –
20 °C … +60 °C nor in the extended range of -40 °C ... +85 °C.
