For the KBox A-150-SKL with Wi-Fi, the front panel keep out area depends on the implemented dual Wi-Fi antennas 
and the orientation of the Wi-Fi antennas.  

Figure 24: Keep Out Area for installed dual Wi-Fi Antenna (with external 2.5” HDD/SSD drive bay) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wi-Fi antennas require an additional keep out area. Kontron’s reference Wi-Fi antennas 
require a minimum of 40 mm horizontally and 135 mm in required antenna direction when 
measured from the Wi-Fi connector.

 

 

 

 

Wiring the DC Mating Power Connector

The DC input power connector connects to the DC power supply via the supplied DC mating power connector  
(PSC 1,5/ 3-F) and the corresponding wiring connected to the DC mating power connector’s clamps (Figure 25, pos. 4, 
5 & 6)  

 

 

 

The wiring corresponding to the DC mating power connector is not included in the scope of
