Normal Operation
The CPU box can be turned off either by the vehicle ignition switch or by the power
button located on the front panel. The CPU box can also be turned off with the
Windows Shut Down process. Remember to save important information before
turning the device off.
• If the CPU box is connected via the ignition and configured to be powered
off by the ignition switch (see section 3, Ignition shut down preference
setting is SHUTDOWN), rotate the car key it to OFF position. The device
will automatically shut the Windows down when the Ignition shutdown
time-out expires and power is off.
NOTE: A Windows pop-up dialog will warn you about power off from the
ignition switch. You can cancel this operation up until the Ignition
shutdown time-out has expired.
• If the CPU box is not connected via the ignition and configured to power off
only by the power button (see section 3, Ignition shut down preference
setting is NONE), briefly press the Power button. The device will shut
Windows down and power off.
• If the system does not respond, you can turn the device off by pressing and
holding the power button for 6 seconds or more. To permit this option,
Critical turn off parameter (see Section 3) setting should be ENABLE.
CAUTION: This method of hardware power off may damage your hard disk.
Extreme Shut Down
Certain extreme events may cause you device to power off, including ambient
temperature outside the operating limits or discharged car battery.
Selecting desired notifications in the Agent Notification tab of the CPU Manager
application (see Section 4) provides a notice if an extreme event should occur. In this
case you should immediately save your data.
• Internal temperature drops below the low operational limit.
If during operation the ambient temperature exceeds the operating temperature
range or internal temperature drops below the low operational limit for any
reason, the CPU processor eventually powers off. A message ”CPU
temperature is low. The system will shutdown in 3 minutes. Please save
your work” will warn you about this event.
CAUTION: If extremely low temperature is the reason for the shut down, do
not turn on the device until it heats up.
