Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,

including the TANK-101B/BW. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is

therefore critical that whenever the TANK-101B/BW or any other electrical component is

handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.

 Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can

help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.

 Self-grounding: Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting

material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any

conducting materials that are connected to the ground.

 Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the TANK-101B/BW, place it on an

antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the

TANK-101B/BW.

2.2 Unpacking Precautions

When the TANK-101B/BW is unpacked, please do the following:

 Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section

 Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the TANK-101B/BW does not

fall out of the box.

 Make sure all the components shown in Section

TANK-101B/BW Embedded System

A.1 One Key Recovery Introduction

The IEI one key recovery is an easy-to-use front end for the Norton Ghost system backup

and recovery tool. This tool provides quick and easy shortcuts for creating a backup and

reverting to that backup or reverting to the factory default settings.

NOTE:

The latest One Key Recovery software provides an auto recovery

function that allows a system running Microsoft Windows OS to

automatically restore from the factory default image after encountering

a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) or a hang for around 10 minutes.

Please refer to Section

The IEI One Key Recovery tool menu is shown below.

Figure A-1: IEI One Key Recovery Tool Menu

Prior to using the IEI One Key Recovery tool (as shown in

To create the system backup, the main storage device must be split into two partitions

(three partitions for Linux). The first partition will be for the operating system, while the

second partition will be invisible to the operating system and contain the backup made by

the one key recovery software.

The partition created for recovery images must be big enough to contain both the factory

default image and the user backup image. The size must be calculated before creating the

TANK-101B/BW Embedded System

partitions. Please take the following table as a reference when calculating the size of the

partition.

OS OS Image after Ghost Compression Ratio Windows® 7 7 GB 5 GB 70% Windows® XPE 776 MB 560 MB 70% Windows® CE 6.0 36 MB 28 MB 77%

A.6 Restore Systems from a Linux Server through LAN

The One Key Recovery allows a client system to automatically restore to a factory default

image saved in a Linux system (the server) through LAN connectivity after encountering a

Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) or a hang for around 10 minutes. To be able to use this

function, the client system and the Linux system MUST reside in the same domain.

NOTE:

The supported client OS includes:

 Windows 2000  Windows 7

 Windows XP  Windows CE

 Windows Vista  Windows XP Embedded

Prior to restoring client systems from a Linux server, a few setup procedures are required.

Step 1: Configure DHCP server settings

Step 2: Configure TFTP settings

Step 3: Configure One Key Recovery server settings

Step 4: Start DHCP, TFTP and HTTP

Step 5: Create a shared directory

Step 6: Setup a client system for auto recovery

The detailed descriptions are described in the following sections. In this document, two

types of Linux OS are used as examples to explain the configuration process – CentOS

5.5 (Kernel 2.6.18) and Debian 5.0.7 (Kernel 2.6.26).

A.6.1 Configure DHCP Server Settings

Step 1: Install the DHCP

#yum install dhcp (CentOS, commands marked in red)

#apt-get install dhcp3-server (Debian, commands marked in blue)

Step 2: Confirm the operating system default settings: dhcpd.conf.

CentOS

Use the following command to show the DHCP server sample location:

#vi /etc/dhcpd.conf

The DHCP server sample location is shown as below:

Use the following command to copy the DHCP server sample to etc/dhcpd.conf:

#cp /usr/share/doc/dhcp-3.0.5/dhcpd.conf.sample /etc/dhcpd.conf

#vi /etc/dhcpd.conf

Debian

#vi /etc/dhcpd.conf

Edit “/etc/dhcpd.conf” for your environment. For example, add

next-server PXE server IP address;

Page 89

filename “pxelinux.0”;

A.6.2 Configure TFTP Settings

Step 1: Install the tftp, httpd and syslinux.

#yum install tftp-server httpd syslinux (CentOS)

TANK-101B/BW Embedded System

#apt-get install tftpd-hpa xinetd syslinux (Debian)

Step 2: Enable the TFTP server by editing the “/etc/xinetd.d/tftp” file and make it use the

remap file. The “-vvv” is optional but it could definitely help on getting more

information while running the remap file. For example:

CentOS

#vi /etc/xinetd.d/tftp

Modify:

disable = no

server_args = -s /tftpboot –m /tftpboot/tftpd.remap -vvv

Debian

Replace the TFTP settings from “inetd” to “xinetd” and annotate the “inetd” by

adding “#”.

#vi /etc/inetd.conf

Modify: #tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin....... (as shown below)

#vi /etc/xinetd.d/tftp

A.6.3 Configure One Key Recovery Server Settings

Step 1: Copy the Utility/RECOVERYR10.TAR.BZ2 package from the One Key

Recovery CD to the system (server side).

Step 2: Extract the recovery package to /.

#cp RecoveryR10.tar.bz2 /

#cd /

#tar –xvjf RecoveryR10.tar.bz2

Step 3: Copy “pxelinux.0” from “syslinux” and install to “/tftboot”.

#cp /usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0 /tftpboot/
