Power-on self-start, also known as Auto Power On, refers to the capability of industrial motherboards or computers to automatically power up and initiate system operation once the power supply is activated.
This feature is essential for industrial motherboards or computers due to their typical deployment in unattended environments such as vending machines, express cabinets, advertising displays, production lines, processing equipment, traffic control systems, security surveillance, healthcare facilities, and banking equipment. In these settings, there is often no dedicated personnel for maintenance or oversight of power switches. Typically, power switches are solely employed for toggling equipment power on or off. In such scenarios, the power-on self-start advantage of industrial computers comes into play: upon power activation, the industrial control motherboard or computer autonomously detects the power supply and initiates system boot-up and operation automatically.
Applicable models: H6 all series
Here we introduce the setup method;
1, use a screwdriver to remove the bottom shell 4 fixed screws, remove the bottom shell can see the motherboard.
2, On the motherboard, locate the PWRON1 pin, which comes pre-equipped with a jumper cap. By default, the jumper cap is placed across pin1 and pin2. In this configuration, the power-on self-start function is disabled. To activate the power on/off function, move the jumper cap from pin1 and pin2 to pin2 and pin3.
External Switch Button Expansion
3, H6 full series with GPIO port, chassis GPIO panel marked with SW+ and SW-, SW+ is the abbreviation of POWER SW+, SW- is the abbreviation of POWER SW-.
4, Insert the GPIO connection terminal into the GPIO port, and snap the positive terminal of the switch button to SW+ and the negative terminal to SW-.
