In order to prevent personal injury and damage by direct or indirect contact with the hot surfaces of the
chassis, following requirements have to be implemented:

The KBox A-101 system should be mounted and installed into a SERVICE ACCESS AREA or into a
RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATION].
 Users which are admitted to the SERVICE ACCESS AREA or to the RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATION must be
suitably instructed and sufficiently informed about the associated dangers.
Important Instructions!
In order to setting-up, installing / removing the KBox A-101 platform, please observe the instructions
described in this manual.
The device may be operated in all positions except with the upper side facing down.
Please observe all specified dimensions required for mounting included in the drawing with outline
dimensions for the KBox A-101 platform. The corresponding drawing can be downloaded from our web site
www.kontron.com by selecting the product name.
When installing the KBox A-101, there must be at least 50 mm (approximately 1.97") free space around the
cooling fins to prevent the system overheating.
Leave at least 100 mm (approximately 3.937") free space to the front and rear of the unit in order to have
access to the interfaces to connect the peripherals and to operate the power button.
When mounted into a cabinet: the cabinet must have adequate space for the KBox A-101 platform, and
corresponding spaces for air circulation and cable connections (see also section 11.2 “Mechanical
Specifications”). Furthermore, the cabinet must have a sufficient, optionally active ventilation to prevent
overheating.
The cooling fins of the chassis are not obstructed (covered) by any objects.
For mounting to a table, to a wall or DIN Rail: Use for mounting the system only the optional brackets (not
included) and the countersunk M3x8 (Torx ISO14581) screws. Longer screws can damage the device!
The platform must be firmly attached to a clean flat and solid mounting surface. Use proper fastening
materials suitable for the mounting surface. Ensure that the mounting surface type and the used mounting
solution safely support the load of the KBox A-101 platform and the attached components. It is
recommended to use screws with a diameter of 5 mm (0.197"). The screw type and length as well as
accessories like anchors depend on the type and the consistence of the mounting surface (table, wall,
cabinet etc.).
Please follow the local/national regulations for grounding.
The voltage feeds must not be overloaded.
Adjust the cabling and the external overcharge protection to correspond with the electrical data indicated
on the type label.
The type label is located on bottom side of the unit (refer to Fig. 19, pos. 6).
