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.
Installation only by a trained electrician or only by •
an electrically trained person who knows all English
Installation and Device Specifications which are to be
applied.
Do not carry the handle of power supplies when •
moving to other place.
The machine can only be used in a fixed location such •
as labs or computer facilities.
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).

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.

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.
Network Application Platforms
Note: The <F8> key on your keyboard is the Fail-Safe 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. 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.

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.

Driver and Manual CD

Driver and Manual CD. The driver and the program library
can also be found in the folder.
The system support Parallel Text-based LCM. The LCM
connects to the motherboard’s parallel port. The LCD
screen can display 2 lines, 20 characters per line.
Build
To build program source code on Linux platform, use the
following steps as a guideline:
Copy the proper makefile from the Driver and Manual 1.
CD to your system: Makefile.linux
Type make to build source code:2.
make Makefile (Note: omit the file extensions)
After compiled, the executable programs (plcm_test,
plcm_cursor_char, Test) and the driver (plcm_drv.ko or
plcm_drv.o) will appear in the program’s folder.
Move Cursor right (select to move the cursor to the
right)
Move Cursor Left (select to move the cursor to the left)
Add a char (select to display a character on the LCM
screen)
Clear (select to clear the LCM display)
Leave (select to leave the program)
To execute, type:
#./ plcm_cursor_char
Note: For descriptions of the command, refer to
the Readme file contained within the program’s
folder.
Note: The OS supported by Lanner Bypass
function include platforms based on Linux Kernel
series 2.4.x and Linux Kernel series 2.6.x.
Install
Install the driver and create a node in the /dev directory
by:
#insmod plcm_drv.ko
#mknod /dev/plcm_drv c 241 0
Note: If you cannot install the driver, check
whether you have enabled the parallel port in the
BIOS setting .
Execution
This section contains sample executable programs that
you could test on your platform. It demonstrates some
useful functionality that the LCM provides.
To execute, type:
#./plcm_test
Plcm_cursor_char. This program provides a menu to
demonstrate the following functions:
Insert line (set the starting line to either line 1 or line 2)

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 Generation 3 bypass
utility provides software for controlling the LAN Bypass
function:
Lanner ‘s Bypass Modules include WDT (Watch Dog Timer)
controller and Bypass switch.
Our Bypass Modules also include a software development
kit that enables system designer to efficiently design
systems to support bypass functionality. Lanner Bypass
Modules with watchdog control have the following
features:
Communication through SMBUS (I2C)1.
Independent bypass status control for each pair up to 2.
a total of 4 pairs
Website at http://assist.lannerinc.com. And
browse the support center and look for Lanner
LAN Bypass Module Manual under Software
Utility Manuals folder.
For a description of the physical LAN ports 2.
equipped with this function, refer to Front Panel
Features in Chapter 1 Introduction.
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
this timer to delay enabling the bypass in just-on
state.
