Chapter 2: Hardware Setup

Preparing the Hardware Installation

To access some components and perform certain service procedures, you must perform the following procedures first.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury,
electric shock, or damage to the equipment, remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby button (if there is one) does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until power supply is removed.
1.
Unpower the FW-5330 and remove the power cord.
Unscrew 2 screws from the two sides of the top cover 2. of the FW-5330 System.

Installing the System Memory

The motherboard supports DDR3 memory to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest operating system and Internet applications. It comes with one Double-Data-Rate Three (DDR3) Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) socket.
Align the SO-DIMM connector key with the socket key, and then install the DIMM firmly into the socket.

Accessing the BIOS menu

When you are installing a motherboard or when the system prompts “Run Setup” during start-up, you will use the BIOS Setup program to configure the system, . This section explains how to configure your system using this program.
Even if you are not prompted to enter the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, you can still change the configuration of your computer later on with this program. For example, you may want to enable the security password feature or change the power management settings. This requires you to reconfigure your system by using the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and record them in the CMOS RAM .
When you start up the computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press <Delete> during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter the Setup utility (There are a few cases that other keys may be used, such as <F1>, <F2>, and so forth.); otherwise, POST continues with its test routines.
If you wish to enter Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl+Alt+Delete>, or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the system off and then back on. Do this last option only if the first two failed.
The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. Being a menu-driven program, it lets you scroll through the various sub-menus and make your selections from the available options using the navigation keys.

Note: This manual describes the standard look of the setup screen. There may be some instances in which the motherboard features can vary from one to another due to customization. This means that some of the options described in this manual mays not match that of your motherboard’s AMIBIOS.

Navigating the BIOS menu

The BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of the BIOS setup utility hot keys can be used at any time during the setup navigation process.
These keys include <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, and so on.
Network Application Platforms
Note: The <F8> key on your keyboard is the Fail-Safe key. It is not displayed on the key legend by default. To set the Fail-Safe settings of the BIOS, press the <F8> key on your keyboard. The Fail-Safe settings allow the motherboard to boot up with the least amount of options set. This can lessen the probability of conflicting settings.

The Main Menu

The main BIOS setup menu is the first screen that you can navigate. Each main BIOS setup menu option is described in this chapter.
The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be configured. “Grayed-out” options are configured parameters and cannot be modified. On the other hand, Options in blue can be modified.
The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it.

Appendix B: Programming Watchdog Timer

A watchdog timer is a piece of hardware that can be used to automatically detect system anomalies and reset the processor in case there are any problems. Generally speaking, a watchdog timer is based on a counter that counts down from an initial value to zero. The software selects the counter’s initial value and periodically restarts it. Should the counter reach zero before the software restarts it, the software is presumed to be malfunctioning and the processor’s reset signal is asserted. Thus, the processor will be restarted as if a human operator had cycled the power.
For sample watchdog code, see watchdog folder on the
Driver and Manual CD
Programming Watchdog Timer
To execute the sample code: enter the number of seconds to start count down before the system can be reset. Press start to start the counter and stop to stop the counter..
Dwd_tst --swt xxx (Set Watchdog Timer 1-255 seconds)
