Safety Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:
z Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free during and after installation.
z Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in the chassis.
Fasten your tie or scarf and roll up your sleeves.
z Wear safety glasses if you are working under any conditions that might
be hazardous to your eyes.
z Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or
makes the equipment unsafe.
z Disconnect all power by turning off the power and unplugging the power
cord before installing or removing a chassis or working near power
supplies
z Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
z Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check
the circuit.
zLITHIUM BATTERY CAUTION:
Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of
used batteries according to the instructions.
z 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.
z Do not carry the handle of power supplies when moving to other place.
z The machine can only be used in a fixed location such as labs or
computer facilities
Operating Safety
zElectrical 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.
zEnsure 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.
3
FW-8892
zWear 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.
zPeriodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which
should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).

3. Hardware Installation Guide
3.1 System Memory
Position the DIMM module to the DIMM socket properly, so the notch on the
memory module first the socket. Push the memory into the socket.
Note: The memory module requires the proper orientation in order to fit into
the socket properly.
3.2 Install the Compact Flash Card
Carefully insert the Compact Flash card into the slot as shown in the
illustration above.
3.3 Din-Rail Rack Mounting
Installation environment precaution:
1. Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may
be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
2. Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such
that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is
not compromised. Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the
26
FW-8892
rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not created due to uneven
mechanical loading.
3. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the
circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used
when addressing this concern.
4. Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections
other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power
strips).”
CAUTION:
Slide/rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.
Required tools:
1. Philips (cross head) screwdriver (#1 bit and #2 bit)
2. Anti-static wrist strap and conductive foam pad (recommended)
3. Din-Rail mounting kit contains the following items:
2 outer rails
4 inner rails
4. Crosshead threaded screws
5. The following picture shows the inner rail (top) and the outer rail
(bottom).
Attaching inner rails to the chassis:
Use the following steps to install the inner rails to the chassis:
1. Position the inner rail alongside the side of the system’s chassis with the
finger tab facing outward as shown in the following diagram.
2. Align the screw holes of the rail and the mounting holes of the chassis
and then fix the inner rail to the system with crosshead threaded
screws.
3. Repeat the above steps again to attach another rail on the same side.
4. Attach the front bracket to the system
5. Likewise, attach other inner rails and front bracket to the other side of
system’s chassis.
27
FW-8892
Installing the outer rails to the rack:
Use the following procedures to install the outer rail:
1. Attach the rail to the posts of the rack by using three rack screws.
2. Extend the outer back rail to the back of the rack and firmly tighten it
with two rack screws.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 above to install the other rail.
Installing the system to the rack:
Holding the system with its front facing you, lift the chassis and carefully
insert the system by sliding the inner rail into the outer rail. Push the chassis
all the way toward the back until the front brackets contact the rack. You
may also fix the front brackets to the rack if the system doesn’t require
frequent pulling out of the rack.

FW-8892
4. BIOS Setup
BIOS Setup
AMI’s ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the
basic system configuration and settings. The modified data will be stored in a
battery-backed CMOS RAM so that this data will be retained even when the power
is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM remains
unchanged unless there is a configuration change in the system, such as hard drive
replacement or new equipment installment.
Running AMI BIOS
The Setup Utility is stored in the BIOS ROM. When the power of the computer
system is turned on, a screen message will appear to give you an opportunity to call
up the Setup Utility while the BIOS will enter the Power On Self Test (POST)
routines. The POST routines perform various diagnostic checks while initializing the
board hardware. If the routines encounter an error during the tests, the error will
be reported in one of two ways, a series of short beeps or an error message on the
screen. There are two kinds of errors, fatal and non-fatal. The system can usually
continue the boot up sequence with non-fatal errors. Non-fatal error messages
usually appear on the screen along with the following instructions:
“Press <F1> to RESUME”
Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the boot up sequence.
After the POST routines are completed, the following message appears:
“Press DEL to enter SETUP”
Entering Setup
Turn on the power of the computer system and press <Del> immediately. If you
don’t have the chance to respond, reset the system by simultaneously pressing the
<Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys, or by pushing the “Reset” button on the
system cabinet. You can also restart by turning the system OFF then ON.
CMOS Setup Utility
To access the AMI BIOS SETUP program, press the <DEL> key. The screen display
will appears as shown below:

Appendix B: Watchdog Timer
B.1 Introduction
Most systems need to be self-reliant. If an error should occur it is typically
not possible to wait for the system to be rebooted manually. In some cases,
such as apace probes, the system is simply disabled. In other cases, the
speed at which a human operator would reset the system would be too slow
to meet the uptime requirements of the product.
A watchdog timer is a piece of hardware that can be used to automatically
detect system anomalies and reset the processor if the case any problems
are found. 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

E. Appendix E: LAN Bypass Function
E.1 Introduction
The bypass function is used to link (or short) two independent Ethernet
ports when the system crash 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. There are typically two communication states
for the bypass function, one is “Normal” state and another is “Bypass” state.
Lanner provides three methods for enabling the LAN Bypass function.
1. When the system powers off, it will be forced to enable the LAN Bypass
function directly. (You can control this functioin by BIOS to enable or
Disable it).
[BIOS] Æ [Advanced] Æ [LAN Bypass when power off] Æ[Enable/Disable]
2. User can enable or disable the LAN Bypass function by programming
which Control by GPIO.
3. A watchdog timer(WDT)can be used to control the LAN Bypass
function via programming.
Please refer to the Manual/ Driver CD under the path//Sample_code. Lanner
also provides sample code for reference.
