Operating Information Chapter Two - Operating Information Workplace A clean and moisture-free environment is preferred. Make room for air circulation. Remember to avoid areas from: Sudden or extreme changes in temperature. Extreme heat. Strong electromagnetic fields (near television set, motor rotation area, etc.). Dust or high humidity. If it is necessary to work in a hostile environment, please regularly maintain your workstation by cleaning dust, water, and etc.
Operating Information Work with Power Button The device is equipped with a heater kit to enable work under low temperature. The heater will heat up the LCD to the temperature for booting up the system. Also, the heater will constantly monitor LCD temperature. Once the temperature becomes lower, the heater will heat up again to maintain the temperature for operation. Note: The device will boot up once you press the power button.
Operating Information Operating System Your workstation is designed to operate with Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit/ Windows Server Operating System. Please connect your workstation with an external USB-interface drive, such as a USB thumb drive, and start the OS installation. Boot Up and POST Boot up The workstation turns ON and loads the operating system (such as Windows) into the system memory. This start-up procedure is called “boot up”.
Operating Information Shut down Directly click “Shut down” from your OS to turn OFF the power of your workstation. Before shutting down, please remember to save any unfinished works and close the applications to prevent your SSD from suffering possible data loss or damage. “Shut down” will turn OFF power of your workstation. If you want to start your workstation again, you need to turn it ON again by pressing the power button.
Operating Information Sleep/Hibernate Sleep Under “Sleep” mode, the system will temporarily save your work into the workstation’s RAM. If you want to start your workstation again, please press the power button to resume. Under Windows 10, you can enter this mode by directly clicking: Move the cursor to the lower left or lower-left corner of the screen, and then click “Settings” => Click “Power” => Click “Sleep”. Hibernate Under “Hibernate” mode, the system will save your work into SSD.
Operating Information Keyboard The keyboard is 83-Key full size with LED backlight. A sample layout is shown below.
Operating Information LED Indicators Your Workstation is designed with LED indicators to show workstation status. The description of LED indicators and colors are provided for your operational reference. LED Indicator Description Power/ S3 Indicator: Green/ Flashing Green* SSD/Heater Indicator: Green/Orange Charger/ Battery Low Indicator: Orange/ Flashing Orange *When your workstation sleeps, the S3 indicator pulsates on and off slowly. Managing Solid State Drive (SSD) RB14 has 4 slots for 2.
Operating Information For setting up the RAID, please use the Intel® RST (Rapid Storage Technology) to lay your system foundation on RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 configurations. The are two boot modes to select, Legacy & UEFI. Please follow the steps to use RAID function: In BIOS Set Up: 1. Insert the required number of SSDs for RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, respectively. 2. Power on the workstation, and press [F2] to enter BIOS. 3.

For example, function key setting page will be unavailable for those devices without function key.
Operating Information Setting Wake on LAN Wake-on-LAN (WoL) is an Ethernet or Token ring workstation networking standard that allows a workstation to be turned on or awakened by a network message. Follow instructions to set WoL. 1.
Operating Information Smart Card Reader (Optional) RB14 has a smart card slot, with an embedded microcontroller, smart cards have the unique ability to store large amounts of data, carry out their own on-card functions (e.g., encryption and mutual authentication), and interact intelligently with a smart card reader. To insert a smart card: 1. Locate the smart card slot on the front side of the workstation and open the protective cover. 2.
Managing Power Chapter Three - Managing Power AC Adapter The AC adapter performs two functions: It powers the workstation from an external AC source. It charges the workstation battery. The adapter automatically detects the AC line voltage (100V or 240V) and adjusts accordingly. The following are recommended when using the AC adapter: Use a properly grounded AC outlet. Use one AC outlet exclusively for the workstation. Having other appliances on the same line may cause interference.
Managing Power Battery The power source will automatically switch to battery when the external power source (AC adapter or optional vehicle adapter) is disconnected. Battery Low When the battery is nearly exhausted, the workstation gives the following “Battery Low” warnings: Windows battery low warning (when operating system is Windows). The power LED flashes. Once the Battery Low warning occurs, please: Save and close the files you are currently working on.
Managing Power Battery Gauge You may check battery status from battery gauge in Windows. Click the power/battery icon to reveal the battery gauge window. Battery Power Saving Tips The workstation comes with an intelligent power-saving feature. You may extend the battery life by: Setup power saving functions in Operating System Power Management options (e.g. Windows Power Options). Lower the intensity of the display by brightness control.
Managing Power Battery Recalibration Battery recalibration allows a user to calibrate the GAUGE IC parameter of the battery pack. When the battery stays fully charged or in a low charge state for a long period of time, it causes the battery gauge to have some minor discrepancies. Therefore, users are recommended to carry out battery recalibration to correctly calibrate the battery GAUGE IC. To perform battery recalibration, please follow the steps as below: 1. Update BIOS & EC to the latest version xxx.
Managing Power Note: Do not turn off the LCD and do not remove AC adapter during the recalibration. One cycle of recalibration process indicates “Charge to Full => Start Learn Mode => Discharge => Complete Learn Mode => Charge to Full”. It will take approx. eight hours for a cycle. It requires five cycles to complete the battery recalibration. Then the recalibration will stop automatically.
Managing Power Power Conservation This workstation consumes much less power than conventional workstations. However, power consumption may be reduced by configuring the Power Management Setup properly. It is recommended the power saving functions be enabled even when not running on battery power. Power Management will not degrade performance while saving power. Supporting ACPI Your workstation supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for power management.
Managing Power Mode Power off Power on S3 USB3.0 Fast Charging port Features AC Fast charging Battery No charging AC Normal charging Battery Normal charging AC Fast charging Battery Fast charging Note: After enabling USB fast charging from USB CHARGE control in BIOS, please cold boot your workstation to activate this function.
