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 •

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).

J4 Channel B DIMM0 (blue)
J5 Channel B DIMM1 (black)
Note: Since the system is capable of Dual
Channel 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 J2 (blue)
and J4 (blue). And use slot J3 (black) and J5
(black) if more slots are required. (Use slot J3
and then slot J5 in sequence for the additional

SATA4): It is for connecting a 2.5’’ SATA harddisk to
be served as your system’s storage. The system can
accommodate up to 2 disks (2.5" or 1disk for 3.5")
in maximum. SATA1 and SATA2 comply fully with
SATA Revision 3.0 standard with data transfer rates
of up to 6.0 Gb/s. SATA3 and SATA4 support SATAT
revision 2.0. The controller contains two modes of
operation—a legacy mode using I/O space, and an
AHCI mode using memory space. Software that
uses legacy mode will not have AHCI capabilities.
The AHCI ( Advanced Host Controller Interface) is a
programming interface which defines transactions
between the SATA controller and software and
enables advanced performance and usability with
SATA. Platforms supporting AHCI may take advantage
of performance features such as no master/slave
designation for SATA devices—each device is treated
as a master—and hardware assisted native command
queuing. AHCI also provides usability enhancements
such as Hot-Plug. Note you will need to configure
your SATA as AHCI or RAID in the BIOS.
Note:
To configure your Hard disk using the 1.
integrated RAID feature, the Intel®Rapid
Storage Technology Utility has to be installed
on your Operating System.
You will need to select the RAID mode in the 2.
BIOS for your SATA drives first. There is also a

Chapter 4
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.

Programming LAN Bypass
Appendix D: Programming Generation 2 and 3 LAN Bypass
Lanner Generation 3 Bypass
The bypass function is used to link two independent
Ethernet ports when the system crashes 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. Different from the previous two generations
(Gen1 and Gen2), the Lanner Bypass Gen 3 employs a
programming method to control the bypass function by
software. There are typically two communication status
for the bypass function, one is “Normal” and another is
“Bypass” status. Furthermore, the Lanner Bypass software
is capable to control the bypass status in the following 3
states:
When the system powers off, it can be forced to enable 1.
the LAN Bypass function .
When the system is in the just-on state which is a brief 2.
moment when it powers up .
this timer to delay enabling the bypass in just-on
state.
Please refer to
Please refer to the LAN_Bypass_Watchdog folder on the
Driver and Manual CD.
For sample LAN bypass code and the Bypass Manual, see
the LAN_Bypass folder on the Driver and Manual CD or
the Lanner Assist Website at http://assist.lannerinc.com.
And browse the support center and look for Lanner LAN
Bypass Module Manual under Software Utility Manuals
folder (http://assist.lannerinc.com/modules/wfdownloads/
viewcat.php?cid=90).
Fro a description of the physical LAN ports equipped with
this function, refer to Front Panel Features in Chapter 1
Introduction.
Lanner Generation 2 Bypass
Unlike Lanner Generation 3 bypass, Generation 2 bypass is
configured through the BIOS menu as shown below:
When the system is running3.
And the Lanner bypass possess the following features:
Communication through SMBUS (I2C)1.
Independent bypass status control for each pair up to 2.
a total of 4 pairs

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
