Safety Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:

Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free during and after •
installation.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could get •
caught in the chassis. Fasten your tie or scarf and roll up
your sleeves.

Wear safety glasses if you are working under any •
conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.

Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard •
to people or makes the equipment unsafe.

Disconnect all power by turning off the power and •
unplugging the power cord before installing or removing a
chassis or working near power supplies

Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions •
exist.

Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; •
always check the circuit.

LITHIUM BATTERY CAUTION:

Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions

Operating Safety

Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature
may not be adequate to cool equipment to acceptable
operating temperatures without adequate circulation. Be sure
that the room in which you choose to operate your system has
adequate air circulation.

Ensure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis design
allows cooling air to circulate effectively. An open chassis
permits air leaks, which may interrupt and redirect the flow of
cooling air from internal components.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and
impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs when electronic
components are improperly handled and can result in complete
or intermittent failures. Be sure to follow ESD-prevention
procedures when removing and replacing components to avoid
these problems.

Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes
good skin contact. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself
by touching the metal part of the chassis.

Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap,
which should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).

with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a
residential environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a

The system can accommodate one disk (2.5) with SATA

3.0 standard. The controller contains two modes
of operation—a legacy mode using I/O space, and
an AHCI mode using memory space. Software that
uses legacy mode will not have AHCI capabilities.

The AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) is a
programming interface which defines transactions
between the SATA controller and software and
enables advanced performance and usability
with SATA. Platforms supporting AHCI may take
advantage of performance features such as no
master/slave designation for SATA devices—each
device is treated as a master—and hardware assisted
native command queuing. AHCI also provides
usability enhancements such as Hot-Plug.

Hardware or Software Reset Jumper(J4): The jumper

can be adjusted to be in either hardware or software
reset mode when the reset switch is pressed. The
hardware reset will reboot the system without
turning off the power. The software reset can be
programmed to reset a software to its default
setting.

the BIOS menu under IntelRCSetup->
South Bridge Chipset Configuration->SATA
Configuration.

Also, the hotplug enable/disable option is 2.

4. Place the system on where it will be mounted on
the wall.

You may draw marks for the circled screw holes as the
image below for applying wall anchors in later steps.
Do the same for both sides.

5. Apply the 4 white wall anchors designated in the
last step. You must have a drilling machine to perform
this step.

3. Align the brackets on each side of the system.
Remember that the screw holes must be aligned. Then
insert screws to secure the brackets.

Then, insert threaded nails into the anchors. Do NOT
insert the nails totally into the anchor. Leave a tiny gap
enough to hang the wallmounting bracket.

6. Hang the system onto the wall as the image below.
Remember to match the brackets’ 4 screw holes with
the 4 threaded nails on the wall. You may screw the
nails tighter after you hang the system.

Installing FW-7525 on a Rack

FW-7525 can be mounted on a wall by using optional
mounting kit.

Please read the precautions first.

1. Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a 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.

2. Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment 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.

2. Locate the 2 screw holes on each side of the system.

3. Attach the L-shaped brackets to the screw holes on each
side of the system, as the image below. Apply screws to
secure the brackets until totally fixed.

3. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be 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.

4. Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-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).”

Warning :

Slide/rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf
or a work space

______________________________________________

After reading the precautions, please see the following
for mounting FW-7525 on a rack.

1. Prepare the L-shaped rackmounting brackets.

4. Attach the ears of the L-shaped brackets to the rack
and then apply long threaded nails.

Notes: rack-use screws and nuts are not supplied in
the mounting kit.

5. Repeat Step 4 for another side.

BIOS Settings

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.

These keys include <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>,
<Arrow> keys, and so on.

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

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

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)

wd_tst[*] --start (Start Watchdog Timer)

wd_tst --stop (Stop Watchdog Timer)

For sample watchdog code, see watchdog folder on the

Driver and Manual CD

Setting up Console

Redirections

Console redirection lets you monitor and configure a

system from a remote terminal computer by re-directing

keyboard input and text output through the serial port.

This following steps illustrate how to use this feature. The

BIOS of the system allows the redirection of console I/O

to a serial port. With this configured, you can remotely

access the entire boot sequence through a console port.

Connect one end of the console cable to console 1.
port of the system and the other end to serial port of
the Remote Client System.

Programming Generation 2 LAN Bypass

Lanner Generation 2 Bypass

Lanner Generation 2 bypass is configured through the BIOS menu as shown below:

There are two ways to enable the bypass on the system:

The LAN bypass can be turned on or off in two system states, i.e., power on 1.
(Runtime Bypass) and power off (System Off Bypass). The following are the
illustration of the possibilities of LAN bypass configuration with respect to both
power-on and power-off states.

A watchdog timer can be used to control the LAN Bypass function dynamically by 1.
programming. Lanner also provides sample code for bypass control with WDT via
programming. For sample code, look in the LAN_Bypass_Watchdog directory under
Driver and Manual CD.

To compile:

#gcc wdbp.c -o wdbp

then switch to a root account to run ./wdbp for excution:

#./wdbp

Commands:

Enable the bypass

#wdbp.exe –f

Set Watchdog Timer. This command will set the time interval at which the counter will
start count down.

#wdbp.exe -wl xxx (xxx: 1-255 sec for timer count down)

Reset Watchdog Timer. This command will reset the watchdog timer’s counter and the
bypass status to non-bypass.

#wdbp.exe -wr xxx (xxx: 1-255 sec for timer count down)
