CHAPTER HARDWARE OVERVIEW System Hardware 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless Client The Thor VM2 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 Laird Connection Manager.
Page 34: System Memory
Card Slots CompactFlash (CF) Slot The CF ATA slot is not hot swappable. The Thor VM2 must be powered down to insert or remove an ATA card. Since the operating system is stored on the CF ATA card, the Thor VM2 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 VM2 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 VM2 to a different location to charge the UPS battery. When the Thor VM2 is operated in an environment where the UPS battery is not able to charge due to temperature extremes, the Thor VM2 should be removed to a location within the safe charging temperature range during off hours.
Page 37 • The charge timeout is reset if charging resumes when the Thor VM2 enters the permissible temperature range for charging. • If the charge timeout occurs, remove the Thor VM2 from the dock and Disconnect Battery. Reinstall the Thor VM2 in the dock and power on.
Page 38: Backup Battery
The Thor VM2 has four power modes: Full On, Standby/Sleep, Hibernate and Off. Full On Mode When the Thor VM2 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 VM2 is in the On mode.
Page 39 If the Thor VM2 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 or Choose What the Power Button Does, depending on the operating system installed.
Page 40 Choose What the Power Button Does. The Thor VM2 is also off when it is not connected to a power source and the UPS battery is depleted. However, an internal Real Time Clock (RTC) powered by an internal battery maintains the date and time while the Thor VM2 is off.
