chassis (Figure 18, Figure 19 and Figure 20, pos. 6) are not
obstructed (covered) by any objects.
To provide sufficient heat dissipation via the cooling fins of the
device, do not cover the cooling fins of the KBox C-103-NGSF. Do not
place any objects on the device. When installing the system, please
observe the clearance recommendation (keep out area) in the subsection
7.2“Control Cabinet Mounting.
3.1.
Optional RTC Lithium Battery (internally-accessible)
Your KBox C-103-NGSF can be optionally equipped with an internally-accessible lithium
battery (CMOS) (see Figure 33). The battery and the battery holder can be accessed after
removing the topside access cover (see chapter5.2 “Opening and Closing the KBox C-103-
NGSF”).
For replacing the lithium battery, please follow the corresponding instructions in the
section 9.1 “Replacing the Lithium Battery”.

System Expansion Capabilities
3.2.1.
M.2 Interfaces
The KBox C-103-NGSF is equipped with two M.2 interfaces on the KBox C-103-NGSF
baseboard. The M.2 interface connectors are located on the top side of the baseboard and
are accessible after removing the side access cover. There are two B type interfaces,
one for 2280, 2260 and 2242 modules and one for 2242/3042 and 2230/3030 modules. Refer
also to the subsection 5.2.4 “Installing/Removing an M.2 Module”.
Refer to section 7.1 “Specifications of the internal M.2 Connectors” and the
descriptions in this manual.
3.2.2.
Mini PCI Express
®
Interface
The KBox C-103-NGSF is equipped with a Mini PCIe interface on the KBox C-103-NGSF
baseboard. The Mini PCIe interface connector is located on the lower side of the
baseboard and is not accessible in the field. This interface connector is intended to be
used for Fieldbus or WiFi expansion. If a customer requires this system expansion, it
must be selected when ordering, as this expansion has to be carried-out at factory.
Refer also to the subsections 5.2.1.
Refer to section 11/ “Technical Specifications” and the descriptions in this manual.
3.2.3.
Standard PCI Express
®
Interfaces
The baseboard of KBox C-103-NGSF provides 1x PCIe x4 interface.
Via riser card there is one available PCIe expansion slot avaiable.
3.2.4.
SATA Interfaces
The baseboard of KBox C-103-NGSF provides 2 SATA interfaces. These allow the
installation of up to two internal
2.5" SATA HDDs/SSDs or optional front accessible drive bays for 2.5" SATA HDDs/SSDs
(refer to the subsection 3.3.11 “Internal or Removable 2.5" SATA HDDs/SSDs”).
