NOTE

Power supplied to the unit must be within the allowed range
depending on the model of the unit:

•

+12VDC to +25VDC for RUFxxx models

•

+14VDC to +32VDC for RUFxxxW models

Failure to provide proper power may damage the system

and void the warranty.

•

Plug in the CRT monitor’s power cord to an AC outlet, and turn on
the monitor.

CAUTION

The monitor must be connected before you turn on
the system, or the display output will automatically
switch to LVDS.

Plug in the AC Mating Cable to an AC outlet.

Press the RuffSystem Power Switch* to the On position.

NOTE

*The Power Switch on the LittleBoard 800 RuffSystem is a
momentary switch. Press and momentarily hold this switch
(

≈ 1 second) to power-on the RuffSystem.

satisfactorily powers on.

To enter the BIOS Setup, press the key during power-on self
test (POST).

Use BIOS Setup during the initial boot to set the desired options.

You should see POST complete successfully before the system
starts loading the operating system (optional.) If you are using
Linux, the boot loader will appear first, similar to the one shown
below with the optional OS name displayed.

NOTE

The optional 2 ½" hard disk drive comes with partitions for
the OS and swap space.
