Hardware
Connect a USB keyboard or mouse to the carrier. Use the SATA cable to connect a hard disk.
Make sure that the pins match their counterparts correctly and are not twisted. If you plan to use
additional peripherals, connect them to the appropriate headers or connectors on the carrier.
Connect a power supply to the power connector on the carrier and switch on the power.
The display shows the BIOS messages. If you want to change the standard BIOS settings,
press the <DEL> key to enter the BIOS setup menus. See Chapter 4 for setup details.
If you need to load the BIOS default values, they can be automatically loaded at boot time.
The LEC-BTS boots from CD drives, USB sticks, hard disks, or µSD-Cards. 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 LEC-BTS needs adequate cooling measures depending on the desired operating tempera-
ture range. Using the board without cooling could permanently damage the board.
ADLINK strongly recommends plastic spacers
instead of metal spacers for mounting the board.
Metal spacers create the possibilities of short cir-
cuits with the components located around the
mounting holes, which can ruin the board.
Be sure to observe the EMC security measures. Make
sure you are always at the same potential as the mod-
ule.
Never connect or disconnect peripherals like HDDs
while the power supply is connected and switched on.
Observe the minimum voltage values for the standard
peripherals mentioned. For additional peripherals,
make sure enough power is available. The system will
not work if there is not enough supply current for all
your devices.
