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).

Motherboard Information

Network Application Platforms
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. Here is the list of the AHCI capabilities
which exist in the system:
Hardware assisted native command queuing1.
Aggressive power management2.
LED indicator support3.
Note: To configure your hard disk as AHCI
compatible, use the BIOS menu. Refer to IDE
Configuration Settings on Chapter 4 BIOS Settings.
Also, Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager (for use on
systems using Intel(R) 82801HBM I/O Controller
Hub (ICH8M)- AHCI only) has to be installed, for
more information, visit http://downloadcenter.

Accessing the BIOS menu
You will need to enter the BIOS Setup program to configure
the system when you are installing a motherboard or
when the system prompts “Run Setup” during start-up.
This section explains how to configure your system using
this program.
Even if you have never enter the BIOS Setup program
when you are installing a motherboard, you can change
the configuration of your computer in the future with
the BIOS Setup program. For example, you may want to
enable the security password feature or change the power
management settings. This requires you to configure
your system 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 are used, such
as <F1>, <F2>, and so forth.); otherwise, POST continues
with its test routines.
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.
Keys Description
-><- Left/Right The Left and Right <Arrow> keys
allow you to select an setup screen.
For example: Main screen, Advanced
screen, Boot screen, and so on.
Up/Down The Up and Down <Arrow> keys
allow you to select an setup item or
sub-screen.
+- Plus/Minuss The Plus and Minus <Arrow> keys
allow you to change the field value
of a particular setup item. For
example: Date and Time.
Tab The <Tab> key allows you to select
setup fields.
Note: The <F8> key on your keyboard is the FailSafe 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. It is located on the upper row of
a standard 101 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.

Programming Watchdog Timer
Network Application Platforms
Appendix A
Appendix A:
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 program the watchdog timer, you must write a program
which writes I/ O port address 443 (hex). The output data is
a value of time interval. The value range is from 01 (hex) to
3E (hex), and the related time interval is 1 sec. to 62 sec.
Data Time Interval
01 1 sec.
02 2 sec.
03 3 sec.
04 4 sec.
..
..
..
3E 62 sec.
After data entry, your program must refresh the
watchdog timer by rewriting the I/O port 443 (hex) while
simultaneously setting it. When you want to disable the
watchdog timer, your program should read I/O port 443
(hex).
For sample watchdog code, see watchdog folder on the
Driver and Manual CD

Appendix D:
Programming LAN Bypass
The bypass function is used to link two independent
Ethernet ports when the system crash or powers off.
This means if your system is equipped with a LAN Bypass
function, a condition in your system will not interrupt your
network traffic. There are typically two communication
statuses for the bypass function, one is “Normal” status and
another is “Bypass” status. Lanner provides the following
methods for enabling the LAN Bypass function:
The Lan bypass can be turned on or off in two system 1.
states, i.e., power on and power off. The following are
the BIOS menu and 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
2.
Bypass function dynamically by 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:

#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
