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).

SATA Connector (SATA1): It is for connecting a SATA
harddisk to be served as your system’s storage. The system can accommodate 1 disk (2.5 or 3.5") with SATA Revision 2.0 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.
Note:
You will need to configure your SATA as 1. AHCI mode in the BIOS in order to use the advanced features of SATA. To do this, access the BIOS menu under Advanced-> SATA Configuration->SATA mode. Also, the hotplug enable/disable option is 2. under the same SATA Configuration menu. Enable the hotplug function explicitly in this menu if you need it.

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.

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.

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 Assist Website at http://assist.lannerinc.com. And browse the support center and look for Lanner LAN Bypass Module Manual under Software Utility Manuals folder (http://assist.lannerinc.com/modules/wfdownloads/ viewcat.php?cid=90).
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. a total of 4 pairs
Lanner Bypass Modules can bypass systems Ethernet 3. 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.
-One for just-on: It is designed to give you the precise control of the bypass during this phase. You can use

Appendix B
Programming LAN Bypass
There are two ways to enable the bypass on the system:
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 illustration of the possibilities of LAN bypass configuration with respect to both power-on and power-off states.

Appendix C

Appendix C: 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)
