(9~11.5V; default: 10V for 12V battery and 21V to 23.5V; default: 21V for 24V battery).

2. IGN Mode: The system powers on via the ignition control with settings of power-on (default:

10 sec and power-off delay (default: 60 sec) in the BIOS, plus OS protection time (180 sec) to

ensure that the system will carry on power-on or power-off procedure completely even if the

ignition status is reverted during this time.

3. The Driver Switch can be enabled or disabled in the BIOS to give the driver the option of

turning on or turning off the system with ignition control alone or a on/off switch when the ig-

nition mode is on. And if the ignition mode is off, you can only turn on or off the system with

the Driver Switch.

The SATA drive tray can be easily accessed without opening the system. Note that

the VC653-SU supports two SATA 3.0 drives with RAID 0/1 conguration whereas

the VC653-BT supports two SATA 2.0 drives.

The system supports one DDR3L SODIMM socket. To install a memory module,

grasp the memory module by its edges and align the module’s notch with the

socket’s notch; then insert the memory into the socket at an angle and push it

down until you feel a click.

The VC653-SU and VC653-BT system can accommodate two DDR3L SODIMM up to 16GB

and up to 8GB respectively with dual-channel conguration.

Installing a Mini PCIe Card

The system board is equipped with 3 Mini PCIe slots: two full-size and one half-

size slots. Here we will demonstrate the installation of a full-size Mini PCIe (Mini

PCIe 2) card.

1. Grasp the Mini PCIe card by its edges and align the notch in the connector of

the PCIe card with the notch in the connector on the system board.

2. Push the Mini PCIe card down and use the provided mounting screws to se-

cure the card on the system board.

Installing a SIM Card

The SIM card socket can be accessed without opening the chassis. It is located on

the front panel.

1. Remove the thumbscrew to open the slot.

2. Insert the SIM card into the slot. Please place the card with the IC facing up

and the angled corner facing toward the socket so that is will be in contact

Installing an M.2 Card

supports PCIe NVMe modules up to PCIe Gen 2.0 x4 bandwidth.

To install an M.2 card, insert the bottom edge of the M.2 card into the

connector, and then secure the card to the system board with the provided

mounting screw.

Connectors and Signals

The system is equipped with 2 COM ports that enable serial communication. The

COM 1 and COM 2 ports can be switched between typical RS232 or RS232 with

power on its pin NO.9 (12V). The 20-Pin Smart Display connector provides 12V/2A

power and other signals for display and audio devices. The Vehicle I/O connector

provides 8-bit
