F1 Power/Status/HDD LED
Power: If the LED is on it indicates that the system is powered on. If it is off, it indicates that the system is powered off.
Status: If the LED is green, it indicates that the system’s operational state is normal. If it is red, it indicates that the system
is malfunctioning.
HDD: If the LED is on, it indicates that the system’s storage is functional. If the LED blinks, it indicates data access activities.
If it is off, it indicates that there is no hard disk present or functional.
F2 System Panel: LCD System Panel
The LCD System Panel can be programmed to display operating status and configuration information. For more details
or sample programming code, please refer to the User’s Manual CD.

By using suitable rollover cable or RJ-45 to DB-9 Female (Cisco console cable), you can connect to a computer terminal
for diagnostic or configuration purpose. Default terminal Configuration Parameters: 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity,
1 stop bit , no flow control.
F5 Two USB 2.0 Ports
It connects to any USB devices, for example, a flash drive.
F6 Management Port
This FastEthernet port can be connected for configuration or troubleshooting purpose. A conformity with IPMI (Intelligent
Platform Management Interface) can be implemented on this port through the Open Platform Management Architecture
(OPMA) interface.
F7 6 Gigabit LAN ports
Right LED:If the LED is orange, it indicates that the connection speed is 1000Mbps. If the LED is green, it indicates that the
connection speed is 100Mbps. And if it is off, it indicates that the speed is 10Mbps.
Lefts LED: If the LED is on, it indicates that the port is linked. If it blinks, it indicates there is traffic.
Using suitable RJ-45 cable, you can connect FW-8756 system to a computer, or to any other piece of equipment that has
an Ethernet connection; for example, a hub or a switch. Moreover, 3 pair (LAN1-LAN2, LAN3-LAN4, LAN5-LAN6) can be
configured as LAN Bypass when failure events occur. This feature can implemented in hardware in conjunction with a
watch dog timer functionality. Refer to Appendix D for a sample implementation of this feature.
F8 LAN 7, LAN 8: An optional expansion of LAN switch. This expansion of LAN switch can add up to additional 8 Ethernet
ports.
Note:
The availability of LAN Bypass varies depending on the model.

Introduction
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-8756 and remove the power cord.1.
Unscrew the screws (three on each side and two on 2.
the rear) from the top cover of the FW-8756 System.
Slide the cover backwards and open the cover 3.
upwards.

Installing the Hard Disk
The system can accommodate two 2.5” or one 3.5” SerialATA disks. Follow these steps to install a hard disk into the
FW-8756:
Unscrew 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 disk cables 4.
to the hard disk’s power and drive connectors
respectively.
Plug the Serial-ATA cable to the Serial-ATA Connector 5.
on the main board.
Installing the System Memory
The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features
data transfer rates of 800, 1066, and 1333 MHz to meet the
higher bandwidth requirements of the latest operating
system and Internet applications. It comes with two
Double Data Rate three (DDR3) Dual In-line Memory
Modules (DIMM) sockets.
Open the DIMM slot latches.1.
Install the DIMM.2.
Network Application Platforms
Repeat steps 2 to 5 to install a second disk (if there is 6.
one).
Put the hard disk tray with the installed hard disk back 7.
to the system and secure it with the mounting screws.
Note:
The 3.5” disk tray also supports 2.5” HDD 1.
installation. To do this, take off one side of the
tray first to make room for SATA cables. Attach the
HDD to the tray by fixing the screws to the slot
on the bottom of the tray.
FW-8756 SKU B can support 2. only the 2.5” HDD.
