Product overview

Product overview
The PROTEUS Industrial Compact Enclosure (ICE) encloses the PROTEUS Single Board Computer
(SBC). It protects the SBC, makes it easy to fix into position and provides a CE-compliant product for
use straight out of the box.
The enclosure consists of a set of aluminium plates fitted together to sandwich the PROTEUS inside
the unit. Side panels slot into place along the sides of the enclosure, providing access to all board-
mounted breakout connectors.
Up to four TNC style RF connectors can be added. One of these can be used can be used to connect
an external antenna to the on-board GPS module. The remaining three RF connectors allow for other
devices to be added to the enclosure. Additional RF capability can be achieved by fitting the
appropriate Mini PCI Express modules into the board’s Mini PCI Express slots. Access to these on-
board Mini PCI express slots is via the access plate in the lid.
For all detailed information on the setting up and use of the PROTEUS please refer to the PROTEUS
Single Board Computer user manual available on the Eurotech website: www.eurotech.com
.
Operating system
The PROTEUS ICE is available with pre-installed Linux or Microsoft Windows XP Embedded operating
system.

Powering up the PROTEUS ICE
The PROTEUS ICE runs from a DC power supply in the range 8.5-24V, taking a maximum current of
5A at the lower DC voltage. The unit is protected at 6A, and so will shut down if this protection current
is exceeded. A nominal input voltage supply of 12V DC is recommended.
The required power connector for this product is provided with the board, and so is included with the
PROTEUS ICE:

-
The connector is available from:
Phoenix Contact. Part number MC 1,5/2-STF-3,5 order number 18 47 05 5.
IMO Precision Controls Ltd. Part number: 20.1550MF/2.
To power up the PROTEUS ICE, follow these steps:
1. Insert power supply wires (16-28 AWG) equipment wire into the terminal block:
2. Tighten the terminal screws firmly to secure the wires.
3. Press the terminal block into the socket shown above.
4. Secure the terminal block in place by means of the two terminal block fixing screws.
Accessing the Mini PCI Express slots
11
Accessing the Mini PCI Express slots
There are two Mini PCI Express slots available on the PROTEUS.
To access these, remove the mini PCI express access plate (with the Eurotech logo) to expose the
Mini PCI Express site:
To add a Mini PCI Express module, slide it into the connector on the board in the usual way and clip it
into place.
To remove a Mini PCI Express module, simply reverse this process ensuring that the clips have been
released. The module then springs out of the clips.
Observe antistatic precautions when dismantling the PROTEUS ICE and when handling the PROTEUS SBC.

Removing the PROTEUS
To remove the PROTEUS you must dismantle the PROTEUS ICE.
Tool required: 3mm hexagon key/Allen key (3mm measured across the flats).
Observe antistatic precautions when dismantling the PROTEUS ICE and when handling the PROTEUS SBC.
Follow these steps:
1. Carefully remove the fixing screws in the four corners:
2. Remove both sections of the lid assembly.
Rotating the PROTEUS ICE to view it from the opposite side, you can now see the two Mini PCI
Express modules:

3. Slide out the panels from the rubber shock mountings and corner extrusions:
4. Remove the four rubber shock mount inserts from the extruded corners:
Note the split panel at the USB Ethernet
connector end. This panel must be placed
back into the unit before the board is lowered
into position as it locates under the USB
connector. You cannot fit this panel after the
board has been placed.
