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).

Sécurité de fonctionnement
L’équipement électrique génère de la chaleur. La •
température ambiante peut ne pas être adéquate
pour refroidir l’équipement à une température de
fonctionnement acceptable sans circulation adaptée.
Vérifiez que votre site propose une circulation d’air
adéquate.
Vérifiez que le couvercle du châssis est bien fixé. La •
conception du châssis permet à l’air de refroidissement
de bien circuler. Un châssis ouvert laisse l’air
s’échapper, ce qui peut interrompre et rediriger le flux
d’air frais destiné aux composants internes.
Les décharges électrostatiques (ESD) peuvent •
endommager l’équipement et gêner les circuits
électriques. Des dégâts d’ESD surviennent lorsque
des composants électroniques sont mal manipulés et
peuvent causer des pannes totales ou intermittentes.
Suivez les procédures de prévention d’ESD lors du
retrait et du remplacement de composants.
- Portez un bracelet anti-ESD et veillez à ce qu’il soit
bien au contact de la peau. Si aucun bracelet n’est
disponible, reliez votre corps à la terre en touchant la
partie métallique du châssis.
Vérifiez régulièrement la valeur de résistance du
bracelet antistatique, qui doit être comprise entre 1 et
10 mégohms (Mohms).
Consignes de sécurité électrique
Avant d’allumer l’appareil, reliez le câble de mise à la •
terre de l’équipement à la terre.
Une bonne mise à la terre (connexion à la terre) est •
très importante pour protéger l’équipement contre
les effets néfastes du bruit externe et réduire les
risques d’électrocution en cas de foudre.
Pour désinstaller l’équipement, débranchez le câble •
de mise à la terre après avoir éteint l’appareil.
Cet appareil de protection doit être branché à la source
d’alimentation avant l’alimentation CC.

Motherboard Information
DIMM Socket (DIMM1/DIMM2): The 240-pin DDR3 DIMM
is for connecting the DDR3 1333/1600 memory. The
system can support up to 16 GB in maximum with
dual channel configuration. To activate dual channel,
insert memory in both DIMM1 and DIMM2 slot:
SATA Connector (SATA1/SATA2, SATA6G_1,
SATA6G_2): It is for connecting a SATA harddisk to
be served as your system’s storage. The system can
accommodate 2 disk2 (2.5) with SATA Revision 2.0
(SATA1 and SATA2) and 3.0 standard (SATA6G_1,
SATA6G_2). 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.

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.

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>

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

Programming LAN Bypass
Appendix B:
Programming Generation
2 and 3 LAN Bypass
Lanner Generation 3 Bypass
The bypass function is used to link two independent
Ethernet ports when the system crashes 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. Different from the previous two generations
(Gen1 and Gen2), the Lanner Bypass Gen 3 employs a
programming method to control the bypass function by
software. There are typically two communication status
for the bypass function, one is “Normal” and another is
“Bypass” status. Furthermore, the Lanner Bypass software
is capable to control the bypass status in the following 3
states:
When the system powers off, it can be forced to enable 1.
the LAN Bypass function .
When the system is in the just-on state which is a brief 2.
moment when it powers up .
this timer to delay enabling the bypass in just-on
state.
Please refer to
Please refer to the LAN_Bypass_Watchdog folder on the
Driver and Manual CD.
For sample LAN bypass code and the Bypass Manual, see
the LAN_Bypass folder on the Driver and Manual CD or
the Lanner support website at http://www.lannerinc.com/
download-center/. And look for Lanner Bypass Watchdog
User Manual under the Accessories folder.
Fro a description of the physical LAN ports equipped with
this function, refer to Front Panel Features in Chapter 1
Introduction.
Lanner Generation 2 Bypass
Unlike Lanner Generation 3 bypass, Generation 2 bypass is
configured through the BIOS menu as shown below:
When the system is running3.
And the Lanner bypass possess the following features:
Communication through SMBUS (I2C)1.
Independent bypass status control for each pair up to 2.

ports on a host system during three instances: Just-on
(Just-on is the brief moment when the internal power
supply turns on and booting process starts), system
off, or upon software request (during run-time).
Software programmable bypass or normal mode4.
Software programmable timer interval:5.
- JUST-ON watchdog timer, used during JUST-ON, has
timer setting of 5~1275 seconds of timer interval.
- Run-Time watchdog timer, used during run-time, has
setting of 1~255 seconds of timer interval.
Multiple Watchdog Timers:6.
-Two for run-time: It is designed to give you a more
variety of controls of the bypass on port basis. By
using dedicated watchdogs for different pairs of
bypass, you have the flexibility to manage the bypass
status for them differently.
There are two ways to enable the bypass on the system:
-One for just-on: It is designed to give you the precise
control of the bypass during this phase. You can use

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.
