Introduction

Chapter 1: Introduction

Based on a new generation high-performance VIA
VX900 chipset the FW-6486 offers a system with a 1U
rackmount chassis for secured data exchange and media
services. The chipset integrates the high-performance VIA
ChromotionHD 2.0 video processor, offering advanced
filtering and cutting edge post-processing to perform
ultra smooth decoding of MPEG-4, H.264, MPEG-2, and
VC-1.

Furthermore, you can take advantage of the integrated
security engines to the CPU to increase system
performance and throughput when doing the following
secure computations:

Secure Hash Algorithm • –SHA-1 & SHA-256 and AES
Encryption

RSA Public key algorithm • –the security engine can
accelerate public key generation enabling up to 900
signings of RSA 1024-bit per second.

Random number generation • –the engine can produce
truly random numbers at a sustained rate of 12 million
per second.

Prevention of worm executing and spreading during •
system run-time

The system also supports a variety of I/O interfaces
including 4 Gigabit Ethernet, 2 USB and 2 PCI expansion
slots.

Please refer to the chart below for a summary of the
system’s specifications.

Installation environment precaution:

Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a 1.
closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing
the equipment in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)
specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment 2.
in a rack should be such that the amount of air
flow required for safe operation of the equipment
is not compromised. Mechanical Loading ­Mounting of the equipment in the rack should
be such that a hazardous condition is not created
due to uneven mechanical loading.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment 3.
in the rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be 4.
given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit and the effect that overloading
of the circuits might have on over-current
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings
should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-5.
mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

Hardware Setup

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.

Unpower the FW-6486 and remove the power cord.1.

Unscrew 2 screws from the two sides and three screws 2.
on the back of the top cover of the FW-6486 System.

Installing the Hard Disk

The system can accommodate one Serial-ATA disk (2.5” or

3.5”). Follow these steps to install a hard disk into the FW­6486:

Unscrew the 4 screws on the hard disk tray to take out 1.
the hard disk tray from the system.

Place hard disk on the hard disk tray and align the holes 2.
of the hard disk with the mounting holes on the tray.

Secure the hard disk with 4 mounting screws on the 3.
hard disk tray.

Connect the Serial-ATA power and data cables to 4.
the hard disk’s power and hard drive connectors
respectively.

Plug the Serial-ATA cable to the Serial-ATA Connector 5.
on the main board.

Put the hard disk tray with the installed hard disk back 6.
to the system and secure it with the mounting screws.

Hardware Setup

Installing the System Memory

The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features
data transfer rates of 800 or 1066 MHz to meet the higher
bandwidth requirements of the latest operating system
and Internet applications. It comes with one Double­Data-Rate Three (DDR3) Small Outline Dual Inline Memory
Modules (SO-DIMM) socket.

Align the memory module’s cutout with the SO-DIMM’s 1.
slot notch.

Install the SO-DIMM.2.

Installing a CompactFlash Card

FW-6486 provides one CompactFlash slot slot. Follow the

procedures bellow too install a CompactFlash card.

Align CompactFlash card and the card slot with the 1.
arrow pointing toward the connector.

Push the card to insert into the connector.2.

Note:

SO-DIMM installed must meet the following 1.
speed requirement: DDR3 800 or 1066 MHz. Do
not install DIMMs with different speeds.
The motherboards can support a total memory 2.
capacity of 4 GB in maximum.
