Foreword
To prevent damage to the system board, please handle it with care and follow the measures below,
which are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from static electricity discharge:
When handling the board, use a grounded wrist strap designed for static discharge elimination grounded
to a metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag. Handl e the board by its edges only;
do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
When handling processor chips or memory modules, avoid touching their pins or gold edge fingers.
Return the Network Appliance system board and peripherals back into the antistatic bag when no t in use
or not installed in the chassis.
Some circuitry on the system board can continue to operate even though the power is switched off.
Under no circumstances should the Lithium battery cell used to power the real-time clock be allowed to
be shorted. The battery cell may heat up under these conditions and present a burn hazard.
WARNING!
1. "CAUTION: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED.
REPLACE ONLY WITH SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE RECOMMENDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER. DISCARD USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE
MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS"
2. This guide is for technically qualified personnel who have experience installing and configuring
system boards. Disconnect the system board power supply from its power source before you
connect/disconnect cables or install/remove any system board components . Failure to do this can
result in personnel injury or equipment damage.
3. Avoid short-circuiting the lithium battery; this can cause it to superheat and cause burns if touched.
4. Do not operate the processor without a thermal solution. Damage to the processor can occur in
seconds.
5. Do not block air vents at least minimum 1/2-inch clearance required.

CPU Warning Temperature
This field allows the user to set the temperature so that when the temperature is reached, the system sounds a
warning. This function can help prevent damage to the system that is caused by overheating.
Temperatures/Fan Speeds/Voltages
These fields are the parameters of the hardware monitoring function feature of the motherboard. The values are
read-only values as monitored by the system and show the PC health status.

Enable or Disable the first phase Smart FAN functionality of SYS_FAN1 connector.
Configuration option: [30 ] ℃ [35 ] ℃ [40 ] ℃ [45 ] ℃ [50 ] ℃ [55 ] ℃ [60 ]℃
If the value is set, the fan turns to 25% duty cycle when the temperature of CPU reach to the value.
The default value is Disable.
2nd Smart Fan II Temperature (CPU_FAN1 / CPU_FAN2 / CPU_FAN3 connectors)
Enable or Disable the first phase Smart FAN functionality of CPU_FAN1/CPU_FAN2/CPU_FAN3 connectors.
Configuration option: [30 ] ℃ [35 ] ℃ [40 ] ℃ [45 ] ℃ [50 ] ℃ [55 ] ℃ [60 ]℃
If the value is set, the fan turns to 25% duty cycle when CPU has reached temperature of approximately value.
The default value is [30 ]℃ .
Level2 Temperature
Set the second phase Smart FAN functionality.
Configuration option: [5 ] ℃ [10 ] ℃ [15 ] ℃
If both the value and the Smart Fan II Temperature are set, the fan turns to 50% duty cycle when CPU has
reached temperature of approximately (first phase + second phase temperature).
The third phase Smart FAN functionality:
If the CPU is over temperature of approximately (first phase + second phase temperature + 10℃), the fan turns to
75% duty cycle.
The final phase Smart FAN functionality:
If the CPU is over temperature of approximately (first phase + second phase temperature + 20℃), the fan turns to

Load Fail-Safe Defaults
This option allows you to load the troubleshooting default values permanently stored in the BIOS ROM. These
default settings are non-optimal and disable all high-performance features.
Load Setup Defaults
This option allows you to load the default values to your system configuration. These default settings are optimal
and enable all high performance features.
Set Supervisor/User Password
These two options set the system password. Supervisor Password sets a password that will be used to protect the
system and Setup utility. User Password sets a password that will be used exclusively on the system. To specify a
password, highlight the type you want and press <Enter>. The Enter Password: message prompts on the screen.
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The system confirms your password by
asking you to type it again. After setting a password, the screen automatically returns to the main screen.
To disable a password, just press the <Enter> key when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will
confirm the password to be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup
freely.

This option allows you to determine whether or not to accept the modifications. If you type “Y”, you will quit the
setup utility and save all changes into the CMOS memory. If you type “N”, you will return to Setup utility.
Exit Without Saving
Select this option to exit the Setup utility without saving the changes you have made in this session. Typing “Y” will
quit the Setup utility without saving the modifications. Typing “N” will return you to Setup utility.

Chapter 12 Bypass Information
If jumpers are removed from JP4 leaving 1-2 & 3-4 to open status, ETH 0 & ETH1 will be under
Bypass mode (Bypass LED off).
User could initiate it to the Normal mode (Bypass LED light up) then re-trigger it in a loop.
Once the system hangs, ETH0 & ETH1 will switch to Bypass mode after timeout.
The following is the example code for the Bypass function.
