- To enable the hot-plug function of your LTE module, click the weston-terminal icon in the upper left corner of your screen, and type the first command below when prompted:

mm_cli sim-detect 1 (enable hot-plug function)
mm_cli sim-detect 0 (disable hot-plug function)
mm_cli sim-detect (display current setting) 

• Refer to Installing antennas for more information on installing the antennas.
• Connecting antennas to your LTE module may strengthen the signal.
• A soft clicking sound indicates that the antenna has been securely attached on the LTE module.

To install an mSATA storage module:

1. Align and insert the mSATA storage module into the slot.
2. Press down, and then secure it in place using one (1) of the bundled screws.

3.9 Installing antennas (optional)

You may install antennas to the five (5) antenna jacks located on the front and rear panels. The installed antennas can be connected to an LTE module installed in the Mini PCIe/mSATA slot or to a wireless card installed in the M.2 Wi-Fi slot.

To install an antenna:

NOTE: If your Embedded Computer came pre-installed with wireless card antenna jacks, skip to step 8.

1. Remove the bottom cover. Refer to Removing the bottom cover for details.
2. Prepare the RF connector and cable.
3. Remove the rubber caps from the antenna holes.
4. Insert the antenna jack end of the RF connector and cable into the antenna hole from within the chassis outwards.

1. Insert the bundled O-ring over the antenna jack (A), then secure the antenna jack using one of the bundled hex screws (B).

1. Connect the other end of the RF connector and cable to your wireless card (refer to Installing a wireless card to the M.2 (E-key) slot for details) or to your WWAN card (refer to Installing an mPCIe / mSATA module for details).

2. Replace the bottom cover. Refer to Replacing the bottom cover for details.

3. Screw the external Wi-Fi antennas onto their corresponding antenna jacks on the front and rear panels by turning them in a clockwise direction.

4. Position the antennas for optimal signal reception.

3.10 Installing wall mount brackets (optional)

1. Remove the four (4) rubber feet screws (A), and then remove the rubber feet from the rubber feet screws (B).

1. Align the wall mount with the rubber feet screw holes (A), and then secure the wall mount brackets to your Embedded Computer using the rubber feet screws (B).

NOTE: The rubber feet and wall mount screws are the same screws.

3.11 Installing the VESA mount (optional)

You may install a VESA mount to your Embedded Computer, which allows you to install your Embedded Computer to a VESA mount-compatible device.

1. Place your Embedded Computer upside down on a flat and stable surface.
2. Attach the bundled two (2) 12mm screws into the screw holes at the bottom of your Embedded Computer.

Pure electrical circuit lines without any symbols

1. Remove the screw hole covers at the back of your VESA mount-compatible device, if they exist.

2. With the arrow on the VESA mounting plate pointing upward, align its screw holes to the screw holes of the VESA mount-compatible device.

3. Secure the VESA mounting plate to the VESA mount-compatible device using the bundled screws.

WARNING! Do not overtighten the screws as it may cause damage to your VESA mount-compatible device.

1. Remove the screw on the metal lock of the VESA mounting plate (A), and pull the metal lock outwards (B).

Watchdog Timer

4.1 Watchdog Timer implementation

There are two watchdog timer implementations designed on this product, the HW and POST watchdog timers. The watchdog timer circuit is in SuperIO and can be controlled by a hardware jumper and BIOS setup menu through the system BIOS for different boot phases.

Please refer to the table below for the different implementations of the Watchdog Timer.

Watchdog timer Implementation Default Timeout
HW Watchdog Timer	This Watchdog Timer can prevent the system from failing before BIOS takeover. After the system is powered on, the watchdog timer will start automatically through the jumper setting.	6 seconds.
	NOTE:Refer to the HW WDT enable jumper in the section Motherboard Overview for more information.The default setting for this jumper is set to HW WDT enabled with a jumper cap attached.

(continued on the next page)

Watchdog timer Implementation Default Timeout
POST Watchdog Timer	This Watchdog Timer is for recovering the system from crashes during BIOS takeover to OS. After system BIOS takeover, the BIOS will stop the HW watchdog timer and start the POST watchdog timer on the same hardware watchdog circuit.	The timeout value is determined by the BIOS settings.
	NOTE: The default setting for the BIOS item is set to enabled.
*OS Watchdog Timer	No implementation. User needs to write software in OS to keep updating the watchdog timer to prevent it from timing out. The application is executed on payload.	N/A
	NOTE: Please refer to the section Watchdog Timer Programming for more information.
