Page 33: Chapter 3 - Hardware Overview
CHAPTER HARDWARE OVERVIEW System Hardware 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless Client The Thor VM1 has an 802.11a/b/g/n network card that supports diversity with two internal or external antennas. Power management for the network card is configured with the Summit Client Utility. Central Processing Unit The CPU is a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor.
Page 34: Video Subsystem
Card Slots CompactFlash (CF) Slot The CF ATA slot is not hot swappable. The Thor VM1 must be powered down to insert or remove an ATA card. Since the operating system is stored on the CF ATA card, the Thor VM1 cannot operate without the ATA card.
Page 35: Wwan
Universal Input Power Supply can be used to convert AC wall power to an appropri- ate DC level. AC to DC power input for the Thor VM1 is delivered to the dock via an optional external power supply and adapter cable. See External AC/DC Power Supply.
Page 36 Move the Thor VM1 to a different location to charge the UPS battery. When the Thor VM1 is operated in an environment where the UPS battery is not able to charge due to temperature extremes, the Thor VM1 should be removed to a location within the safe charging temperature range during off hours.
Page 37 Charging and Power Management • Charging of the UPS battery continues when the Thor VM1 is in power management (display off, suspend or hibernate modes). Thor VM1 with Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 2009 User Guide...
Page 38: Backup Battery
The Thor VM1 has four power modes: Full On, Standby, Hibernate and Off. Full On Mode When the Thor VM1 is attached to either vehicle power or an external power supply or is operating from the UPS battery and the power button is pressed, the Thor VM1 is in the On mode.
Page 39 If the Thor VM1 is Full On, a press of the power button can be configured to put the unit in Standby. See the Advanced tab of the Power control panel. StandbyMode When the standby timer expires without a primary event occurring, the Thor VM1 transi- tions to Standby mode.
