Safety Approvals
CE Marking
FCC Class A
FCC Compliance
This equipment has been tested and complies with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. If not installed and used in
accordance with proper instructions, this equipment might generate or radiate radio frequency
energy and cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measurers:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with emission limits.
iv
Safety Precautions
Before getting started, read the following important cautions.
1. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing the internal
components. Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in any
static-shielded devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to static electrical
charge.
2. Disconnect the power cords from the NA590 Series before making any installation. Be
sure both the system and the external devices are turned OFF. Sudden surge of power
could ruin sensitive components. Make sure the NA590 Series is properly grounded.
3. Do not open the system’s top cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must, only
a trained technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are
sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge,
observe the following precautions:
Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the
system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to discharge any static
electricity on your body.
When handling boards and components, wear a wrist-grounding strap, available
from most electronic component stores.

1.1 General Description
The NA590 is a 1U rackmount network appliance based on Intel® Xeon E3/ the 8th Generation
Core i Processors with Intel® C246 / H310 Chipset (Coffee lake), The appliance sets the target
at greatly improved CPU performance and reduced power consumption based on Intel’s new
architecture. It provides greater performance and power efficiency to equipment providers.
For greater flexibility, the NA590 has two front-accessible expansion slots that allow
developers to expand two different LAN modules based on their solution requirements. This
expansions need to be requested before production. The two expandable LAN modules via the
PCIe 3.0 interface, support max up to 26 LAN ports. To avoid the influences of shutdown by
the environment, the NA590’s motherboard supports data protection via 2 pairs of latch-type
LAN bypass for fail-over option.
For storing event log data, the NA590 utilizes two 2.5” SATA HDDs or one 3.5” SATA
HDD(optional). And NA590 supports four dual channel up to 64GB DDR4-2400 non-ECC/ECC
memory and one standard PCIe x8 expansion slot for optional network security card.
