Compliances

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 to correct the interference at his own expense.

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).

EMC Notice

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.

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the FW-7575. This system integrates the newest Intel® Xeon E3 1125C Processor (or Intel® Core i3 Processor 2115C), codenamed Sandy Bridge Gladden, with the Intel Cave Creek PCH to upscale the network platform to the next level. It supports up to 32GB of DDR3 system memory at 1066,1333 or 1600MHz on dual-channel DIMM banks.

The built-in Intel QuickAssist technology on the Cave Creek chipset provides bulk data encryption/decryption using AES, 3DES or (A)RC4 algorithms and hash using MD5, SHA-1/2 and HMAC algorithms and compression. The chipset will support Intel Virtualization Technology, too.

The FW-7575 is equipped with advanced I/O capabilities which incorporates a console port, an RJ-45 management port, a PCIex8 golden finger connected directly to the

CPU for utmost packet processing performance and one Serial-ATA port as well as a ComplactFlash slot. The front panel also features 6 GbE ports.

The system can add additional 8 LAN ports with 1 Ethernet module, providing a total of 14 LAN ports.

Moreover, these LAN modules can be configured with

Lanner Generation2 or Generation3 bypass depending on the module specification.

Please refer to the chart below for a summary of the system’s specifications.

Introduction

with Intel Virtualization for Connectivity (VT-c) as part of the Intel Virtualization Technology to improve networking and I/O throughput on a virtualized system. Moreover, 2 pairs (LAN3-LAN4, LAN5-LAN6; provided by Intel i347) can be configured as LAN Bypass by using Lanner Gen3 Bypass technology when failure events occur. This feature can be enabled dynamically with a watch dog timer. Refer to your User’s Manual CD for a sample implementation of this feature.

F8 Swappable Ethernet Module (optional)2

Depending on the module specification, it may support Lanner Generation 2 or Generation 3 bypass function; for more information, refer to Chapter 4 BIOS Settings and Appendix B Programming Generation 2 and 3 LAN Bypass.

Note:

1.The Bypass is only available on model A and C

2.The Ethernet expansion module occupies the same place as the 3.5” HDD. So if an Ethernet module is used in the system, you can only install a 2.5” HDD.

Hardware Setup

Preparing the Hardware Installation

To access some components and perform certain service procedures, you must perform the following procedures first.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.

1.Unpower the FW-7575 and remove the power cord.

2.Unscrew 3 screws on each side of the top cover of the FW-7575 System.

3.Slide the cover backwards to open it.

Installing the System Memory

The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 1066, 1333 or 1600 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest operating system and Internet applications. To install the memory:

1.Open the DIMM slot latches.

2.Install the DIMM.

Note:

1.We recommend that all DIMMs installed must be the same speed and size (DDR3 1066,1333 or 1600, unbuffered ECC or non-ECC). Do not install DIMMs supporting different speeds or sizes.

2.The system can support up to32 GB in maximum.

3.Since the system is capable of dual channel memory architecture, some installation guidelines have to be met to enable dual channel mode as directed. To insert two DIMMs on the system, insert DIMMS on slot J13 (blue) and J15 (blue). And use slot J12 (black) and J14 (black) if more slots are required.

J12 Channel B DIMM1 (black)

J13 Channel B DIMM0 (blue)

J14 Channel A DIMM1 (black)

J15 Channel A DIMM0 (blue)

Installing the Hard Disk

The system can accommodate one 2.5” or 3.5” Serial-ATA disks. Follow these steps to install a hard disk into the FW7575:

1.Unscrew the 4 screws on the hard disk tray to take out the hard disk tray from the system.

2.Place hard disk on the hard disk tray and align the holes of the hard disk with the mounting holes on the tray.

3.Secure the hard disk with 4 mounting screws on the hard disk tray.

4.Connect the Serial-ATA power and data disk cables to the hard disk’s power and drive connectors respectively.

5.Plug the Serial-ATA cable to the Serial-ATA Connector on the main board.

6.Put the hard disk tray with the installed hard disk back to the system and secure it with the mounting screws.

3.5” HDD is installed on the opposite side of the power supply unit

2.5” HDD is installed on the same side of the power supply unit

Note: The Ethernet expansion module occupies the same space as the 3.5” HDD. So if an Ethernet module is used on the system, it is only possible to install a 2.5” HDD.

Hardware Setup

Installing Front Ethernet Module

Bottom view of the system

1.To install the front Ethernet module, take off the front bezel first by unfastening the threaded screws on the bottom of the case.

2.Insert the Ethernet module into the front expansion slot.You should hear a click when the module connects to the system’s mainboard.

3.Fasten the screw back on the bottom of the case to secure the module on the system.
