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 NA-821 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 NA-821 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.

Resources Controlled By
The Award Plug and Play BIOS can automatically configure all
boot and Plug and Play-compatible devices. If you select Auto, all
interrupt request (IRQ), DMA assignment, and Used DMA fields
disappear, as the BIOS automatically assigns them. The default
value is “Manual”.
IRQ Resources
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system
interrupt to one of the following types in accordance with the type
of devices using the interrupt:
1. Legacy ISA Devices compliant with the original PC AT bus
specification, requiring a specific interrupt (such as IRQ4 for serial
port 1).
2. PCI/ISA PnP Devices compliant with the Plug and Play standard,
whether designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture.
The default value is “PCI/ISA PnP”.
DMA Resources
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system
DMA channel as one of the following types, depending on the type
of device using the interrupt:
Legacy ISA Devices compliant with the original PC AT bus
specification, requiring a specific DMA channel.
PCI/ISA PnP Devices compliant with the Plug and Play standard,
whether designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture.
The default value is “PCI/ISA PnP”.
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
Some non-standard VGA display cards may not show colors
properly. This item allows you to set whether MPEG ISA/VESA
VGA Cards can work with PCI/VGA or not. When enabled, a
PCI/VGA can work with a MPEG ISA/VESA VGA card; when
disabled, a PCI/VGA cannot work with a MPEG ISA/VESA Card.
** PCI Express relative items **
Maximum Payload Size
When using DDR SDRAM and Buffer size selection, another
consideration in designing a payload memory is the size of the
buffer for data storage. Maximum Payload Size defines the
maximum TLP (Transaction Layer Packet) data payload size for
the device.

Enabling LAN Bypass Feature
What is the LAN by-pass meant for NA-821 Series? It doesn’t have any
down time in network connections for two other network segments
(LAN1 and LAN2) when any fetal errors occur to this device.
The LAN by-pass feature covers three levels as below:
1. Power loss
While the AC power loss occurs to this device, the LAN1 and
LAN2 still can communicate with each other through hardware
relay like as a short cut between two segments. If the power
inlet can be normally done, the relay will turn to another
correct position.
2. GPIO control
It acts like a switch of the application software. You can
enable the hardware relay feature through the GPIO control
through the application programs. Then, the software solution
provider can be more flexible to make it close with the
program.
3. WDT (Watchdog Timer)
The hardware supports the WDT (Watchdog Timer) function.
While time-out happens after a defaulted period, the WDT will
reset the system or make a short cut for two specific
segments by hardware relay.
The sample codes for the above features can be found in
the CD, and they are only for customers’ reference as
remarked.
