#### Average Power Consumption

The power consumption of the H500 and H600 systems was measured for various system configurations, workloads, and power states at both 12V and 24V system input voltages. Tests were performed using Burnintest v9.0 build 1012 to stress system components with and without graphics enabled. These tests were performed with Intel Turbo Boost disabled; enabling Turbo will draw additional power. The build configurations and power consumption are listed in the tables below. (Note: system configurations using discrete GPUs are limited to 19V-24V input. Only 24V is tested for Configuration 3).

\*The configurations below are using representative samples of internal devices; the specific components mentioned below may vary from the devices provided by OnLogic.

<figure><img src="https://3062424488-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlLHqs7kbNoKOFTwGOfH6%2Fuploads%2FPKuezlNgveuFIqoYkmaW%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=fdfd099e-ff10-459b-95e2-bc3535e0fc05" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The power consumption for each system configuration is recorded below:

**Config 1 Low Power Consumption**

#### Protection Circuitry

<figure><img src="https://3062424488-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlLHqs7kbNoKOFTwGOfH6%2Fuploads%2Fa7P2FEY9aOTTAGIKfURq%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=169ed149-36ff-4015-bfd6-61f1b44fe538" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

These specified DC levels are the absolute maximum values for the pins for system function and safety. The protection circuitry allows for brief transient voltages above these levels without the system turning off or being damaged. A transient voltage suppressor on the power input allows momentary excursions above stated limits.

#### Input voltage qualification

The base HX500 system can operate with an input voltage ranging from 8V - 24V DC; however, different configurations will impact total system draw and may limit input voltage flexibility in the final application. The minimum system voltage will be limited by total system power draw and the 14A current limit of the power connectors on the motherboard. The total system power draw should be divided by the input voltage to remain within the power connector's current limit and checked against supply capability. HX600 systems with GPU configurations should use no less than 19V at the input, with 24V recommended. Please contact OnLogic for assistance calculating the total max power draw of your desired configuration. Most HX500 systems operating at 8V with turbo enabled will exceed the input current limit. Systems with Intel Turbo Boost enabled can draw up to 70W at the CPU with stock settings. Additional internal system peripherals and USB loads may cause system instability due to protection mechanisms. Systems requiring an input voltage under 12V will achieve best stability by disabling CPU turbo, or by limiting peak CPU turbo draw under 50W with a custom BIOS. Please contact OnLogic sales for additional information on custom BIOS configurations.

#### Wake-Up Events

The Helix platform supports multiple power states. Wake-up events can be configured in the BIOS. This section describes the supported power management functions and provides information on protection circuitry for power adapters.

### <mark style="color:blue;">3.3- Internal Access</mark>

Properly opening OnLogic systems does not void the warranty in most cases, however, some precautions are necessary to avoid damaging the system.

* Perform this disassembly in an area free of static discharge and with the system fully unplugged.
* Ideally, wear a grounding strap. If that is not available, regularly touch a grounded metal surface to discharge your body of static electricity.

<summary><mark style="color:blue;"><strong>Clear CMOS</strong></mark></summary>

If the system fails to power on or is unresponsive, clearing the CMOS may help. It will also restore the BIOS to factory defaults.

* Begin by following the *Internal Access* Instructions. Make sure the system is disconnected from power, monitor, and all peripheral connections. Once the system is open, see below.

<figure><img src="https://3062424488-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlLHqs7kbNoKOFTwGOfH6%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-f4452d4eff31bbc3021d01d28413715bc466c08f%2F684049307b4815a6c2551b2292579aca091130e8e6cb8b98dbda1a56870d6dfa.png?alt=media" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

1. Locate the CMOS jumper indicated by the orange markings

<figure><img src="https://3062424488-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlLHqs7kbNoKOFTwGOfH6%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d7a0f41c68b003c038582827e0da2c6244ccd089%2F3ca286517a56056929a2fee7e0aaa4ec58a360465181d6f0e63314fd785f516f.png?alt=media" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

2. Locate the CMOS CLR jumper

3. Move the jumper up by 1 pin and leave it there for 30 seconds.
4. Restore the jumper to the original position.
5. The CMOS has now been cleared. Reassemble the system and power it on. It may restart several times to reconfigure the CMOS.
6. If the issue has not been resolved by the reset, contact technical support.

<summary><mark style="color:blue;"><strong>How much power does the system draw?</strong></mark></summary>

The maximum sustained power draw of the HX500 is approximately 60 watts, with short duration draw of up to 120 watts with high CPU load.\
The HX600 has the same base power draw plus any expansion cards.\
These numbers are estimates and the power supply selected should have overhead.

<summary><mark style="color:blue;"><strong>What types of RAID are supported?</strong></mark></summary>

The M.2 B-Key slot can be used in tandem with the M.2 M-Key slot to create firmware-level RAID arrays using Intel Rapid Storage Technology. These arrays can be created with M.2 SATA SSDs. NVMe RAID is not supported by the chipset. RAID arrays that mix together M.2 SATA and cabled 2.5” SATA drives can also be created (HX600 Only).

<summary><mark style="color:blue;"><strong>No audio in Linux workaround</strong></mark></summary>

As of this writing (4/14/2021), there is a known issue in Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 that causes DisplayPort audio not to work. As a workaround, one of the audio kernel modules needs to be blacklisted.

To do so, open a terminal and run the following commands:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
echo "options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
```

{% endcode %}

```
echo "blacklist snd_soc_skl" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
```

Reboot the system, and DP audio should once again be functional.

**JP-1: Failure to Boot Without RTC Battery**

**Overview**

| Category             | Hardware / Battery    |
| -------------------- | --------------------- |
| SKU(s) Affected      | HX500, HX600, HX610   |
| Revision(s) Affected | F01-00003R(1-4)       |
| Revision Resolved    | F01-x0003R(5-current) |
| Severity             | Medium                |

**Description**

The EXM501 does not initiate the power-up sequence if an RTC battery is not installed or the battery voltage is low (dead). Battery discharge primarily occurs in systems that are not connected to power. Expected battery lifetime in completely unpowered systems exceeds 3 years. Time spent in service while connected to external power does not count against the battery's expected lifetime, thus extending the time-to-failure. Customers with common use cases where power is applied at all (or nearly all) times should not expect to encounter this issue during the system's lifetime.

**Workaround**

None. If the system fails to boot, a user may confirm that battery voltage exceeds 2.7V and replace if needed.

**Resolution**

Power sequence timings were adjusted in revision F01-x0003R(5-current) to enable startup without a battery.

**JP-2: Digital and Chassis Ground Not Isolated**

**Overview**

| Category             | Hardware / PCB      |
| -------------------- | ------------------- |
| SKU(s) Affected      | HX500, HX600, HX610 |
| Revision(s) Affected | B01-00003R(5-7)     |
| Revision Resolved    | B01-00003R8         |
| Severity             | Low                 |

**Description**

Beginning in PCB rev B01-00003R5, the SIM slot connects the digital and chassis ground planes, removing isolation between the two. Under normal operating conditions, the motherboard's function should not be affected. Customers who rely on chassis ground isolation are recommended to isolate the chassis from earth ground externally.

**Resolution**

Steps to mitigate the issue were taken in PCB B01-00003R8 by eliminating the short. The changes are present in F01-x0003R11.
