Watchdog
- Watchdog reboots the system when it freezes
- Watchdog should be enabled in BIOS and triggered periodically from OS.
- See Watchdog in Windows XP
- See watchdog forum discussion
Power consumption
Below are power consumption measurements for fit-PC
- Measurements are done on 12V DC - fit-PC only excluding power supply
- HDD and USB keyboard & mouse are included. fit-PC is connected to XGA display
- Measurements are done in Windows XP
fit-PC2 consumption
- Off: 0.45W
- Standby: 1.0W
- XP average: 6.5W
- XP peak: 9.12W
fit-PC2i consumption
- Off: 1.2W
- Standby: 1.2W
- XP average: 7.1W
- XP Peak: 9.24W
Ethernet
- fit-PC2 is using Realtek RTL8111D GbE controller
- fit-PC2i is using Realtek RTL8111C GbE controller
Wake-on-LAN (fit-PC2i only)
- Wake-on-LAN works in S3 (standby), but does not work in S6 (off state). The reason is that WOL is implemented as PCI wake to the US15W SCH which is not powered in S6.
- For controlling fit-PC2i remotely use standby rather than shut down. To restart from a clean boot use software reboot.
Serial port (fit-PC2i only)
The serial port RS232 is brought-out through a custom mini connector. fit-PC2i is supplied with a cable to DB9 female.
Consumer IR receiver (fit-PC2 only)
- The IR sub-system includes
- IR receiver Vishay TSOP38238 or compatible
- Micro-controller Atmel ATtiny2313-20MU connected through USB interface
- fit-PC2 IR works at 38 KHz - compatible with most consumer IR remotes
- SW support:
- Windows - EventGhost
- Linux - LIRC
