CE
This product has passed the CE test for environmental
specifications. Test conditions for passing included the
equipment being operated within an industrial enclosure.
In order to protect the product from being damaged by
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and EMI leakage, we strongly
recommend the use of CE-compliant industrial enclosure
products.
FCC Class A
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A 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 commercial 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 residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required

Network Application Platforms
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).

Introduction
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the FW-7540. The FW-7540 is
a compact network communication appliance which
is based on Intel® Pineview™ embedded processor, the
current generation of the Intel ® Atom™ family.
The FW-7540 can be used as a stand-alone system, installed
into the rack or on the desktop. Furthermore, two systems
can be mounted side by side to save rack spaces.
The system features an abundance of hardware
functionalities to fulfill your programming need. It offers
an internal header of GPIO pin header (4 GPI + 4 GPO) with
hardware control. It also has a reset button which can be
configured to be a normal hardware reset or a software
reset to reset the designated software to its default
settings.
The four Gigabit LAN ports on the back come with
hardware bypass (2 pair) to maintain the network
connection in the event of system failures. And the MiniPCIe slot with SIM card connector further expands its
versatility in networking applications. The system also
supports a 2.5” SATA HDD (optional) and CompactFlash
for storage. All of the above mentioned components are
packed into a small rugged unit (215 x 43 x 188mm or
8.46”x1.69”x7.40”) made with SGCC metal.
Please refer to the chart below for a summary of the

F1 Power/Status/HDD LED
Power (Green): If the LED is on it indicates the system is powered on. If it is off, it indicates the
system is powered off.
Status (Green/Red): This LED is programmable. You could program it to display the operating
status with the behavior like the following:
If the LED is green, it indicates that the system’s operational state is normal. If it is red, it indicates
that the system is malfunctioning. Look for the LED folder of the Drive and Manual CD for sample
code on LED.
HDD (Yellow): If the LED blinks, it indicates data access activities; otherwise, it remains off.

R5 DC-in 12V Jack
The system requires a 60W/12V power adapter with lock.
R6 Power-on Switch
It is a switch to turn on or off the power.
Note:
The availability of LAN Bypass varies depending on the models.1
.
Both PXE and Lan Bypass functionalities can be enabled or disabled in the BIOS 2.
menu. Lanner provides three methods for enabling the LAN Bypass function:
When the system powers off, it can be forced to enable the LAN Bypass function through •
the BIOS settings.( See BIOS Settings)
When the system is running, the LAN Bypass function can be dynamically enabled or •
disabled through GPIO (General Purpose Input and Output) by programming. Furthermore,
with the use of watchdog timer, the LAN bypass can be automatically enabled when system
anomalies is detected.

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
7
Chapter 2
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).”
Mounting one system to the Rack
To mount the FW-7540 onto the rack, use the mounting
kit with the screw pack. Follow these procedures as a
guideline:
Attach the adaptor mounting bracket to the system by 1.
fastening 5 screws as shown in the figure.
Place the adaptor in the adaptor mounting bracket. 2.
Make sure that the power adaptor’s AC socket is not
blocked; to do os, align the AC socket with the holes
on the mounting bracket.
You could use the adaptor holder to hold your adaptor 3.
to prevent it from sliding back and forth in the picture
below.

to the inner side of the system’s chassis as shown in
the picture below.
Align the screws of one system with the mounting 2.
slots of the other system and mount the two systems
side by side by clipping them together
Make sure that the attachment between the two 3.
systems is secure and the mounting screws is locked
in place.
Use the screws provided to fix the short ear-bracket to 4.
the left and right sides of the system as shown in the
picture.
