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.
Unpower the FW-7581 and remove the power cord.1.
Unscrew the 3 threaded screws from the top cover of 2.
the FW-7581 System.
Slide the cover backwards and open the cover 3.
Note:
All DIMMs installed must be the same speed 1.
(DDR3 1066 or 1333). Do not install DIMMs
supporting different speeds.
The motherboards can support up to 4 GB 2.
memory capacity in maximum. .
Installing the Hard Disk
The system can accommodate one Serial-ATA disks. Follow
these steps to install a hard disk into the FW-7581:
Unsrew the 4 screws on the hard disk tray to take out 1.
the hard disk tray from the system.
Place hard disk on the hard disk tray and align the holes 2.
of the hard disk with the mounting holes on the tray.
Secure the hard disk with 4 mounting screws on the 3.
hard disk tray.
Connect the Serial-ATA power and data cables to the 4.
hard disk’s power and data connectors respectively.
Plug the Serial-ATA cable to the Serial-ATA Connector 5.
on the main board.

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.

Programming LAN Bypass
Appendix D:
Programming LAN Bypass
The bypass function is used to link two independent
Ethernet ports when the system fails or powers off. This
means if your system is equipped with a LAN Bypass
function, a system failure or power-off event will not
interrupt your network traffic. There are typically two
statuses for the bypass, one is “Normal” state and the
other is “Bypass” status. Lanner provides three methods to
enable the LAN Bypass function:
Note: This Bypass in 7581 complies with Lanner
