Compliances

CE

This product has passed the CE test for environmental
specifications. Test conditions for passing included
the equipment being operated within an industrial
enclosure. In order to protect the product from being
damaged by ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and EMI
leakage, we strongly recommend the use of CE­compliant industrial enclosure products.

FCC Class A

This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference
in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.

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

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).

Consignes de sécurité

Suivez ces consignes pour assurer la sécurité générale :

Laissez la zone du châssis propre et sans poussière •
pendant et après l’installation.

Ne portez pas de vêtements amples ou de bijoux qui •
pourraient être pris dans le châssis. Attachez votre
cravate ou écharpe et remontez vos manches.

Portez des lunettes de sécurité pour protéger vos •
yeux.

N’effectuez aucune action qui pourrait créer un •
danger pour d’autres ou rendre l’équipement
dangereux.

Coupez complètement l’alimentation en éteignant •
l’alimentation et en débranchant le cordon
d’alimentation avant d’installer ou de retirer un
châssis ou de travailler à proximité de sources
d’alimentation.

Ne travaillez pas seul si des conditions dangereuses •
sont présentes.

Ne considérez jamais que l’alimentation est coupée •
d’un circuit, vérifiez toujours le circuit. Cet appareil
génère, utilise et émet une énergie radiofréquence
et, s’il n’est pas installé et utilisé conformément aux
instructions des fournisseurs de composants sans
fil, il risque de provoquer des interférences dans les
communications radio.

Avertissement concernant la pile au
lithium

Risque d’explosion si la pile est remplacée par une •
autre d’un mauvais type.

Jetez les piles usagées conformément aux •
instructions.

L’installation doit être effectuée par un électricien •
formé ou une personne formée à l’électricité
connaissant toutes les spécifications d’installation et
d’appareil du produit.

Ne transportez pas l’unité en la tenant par le câble •
d’alimentation lorsque vous déplacez l’appareil.

La machine ne peut être utilisée qu’à un lieu fixe •
comme en laboratoire, salle d’ordinateurs ou salle de
classe.

Sécurité de fonctionnement

L’équipement électrique génère de la chaleur. La •
température ambiante peut ne pas être adéquate
pour refroidir l’équipement à une température de
fonctionnement acceptable sans circulation adaptée.
Vérifiez que votre site propose une circulation d’air
adéquate.

Vérifiez que le couvercle du châssis est bien •
fixé. La conception du châssis permet à l’air de
refroidissement de bien circuler. Un châssis ouvert
laisse l’air s’échapper, ce qui peut interrompre et
rediriger le flux d’air frais destiné aux composants
internes.

Les décharges électrostatiques (ESD) peuvent •
endommager l’équipement et gêner les circuits
électriques. Des dégâts d’ESD surviennent lorsque
des composants électroniques sont mal manipulés et
peuvent causer des pannes totales ou intermittentes.
Suivez les procédures de prévention d’ESD lors du
retrait et du remplacement de composants.

Chapter 7:
About the PCIe-Switch Feature of HCP-72i1

Brief

HCP-72i1 is built with TCM-IXT801A network device card, which is programmed with PCIe switch functionality.
Unlike traditional redundant system where one identical machine will take over the work from the main server until
the main server crashes, Lanner’s TCM-IXT801A will be able to avoid this indirect waste of efficiency of the backup
server.

To maximize the performance, TCM-IXT801A allows two identical servers to deal with their own network packets
separately in the normal condition. The network device(s) will be switched into the other system by dynamically
transferring PCI Express bus via PLX8748 PCI Express switch to keep on the original server task and shorten the
troubleshooting time while one machine is under malfunction. The network device(s) that has been switched will be
returned to the original system when the information staff restarts the crashed server.

The following presents the structure of the PCIe-Switch mechanism of HCP-72i1.

99

www.lannerinc.com

Default Settings of PCI Express Switch

The following lists out the default settings of the PCI Express switch.

BIOS Version :

MB-7220(HCP-72I1) Ver.AA0 12/30/2014 Bottom Board

MB-7220(HCP-72I1) Ver.AA0 12/30/2014 Upper Board

PLX 8748 Virtual Switch Table :

VS0 : upstream port 0x0, downstream port 0x8 and 0x9

VS1 : upstream port 0x1, downstream port 0x10 and 0x11

Note:

Upstream Port : The port that PCI Express bridge upward connects to the root port.•

Downstream Port : The port that PCI Express bridge downward connects to the device.•

Kernel Patch Provided by Lanner :

Solve the issue of insufficient BAR size space for VS0 and VS1.1.

The setting of “Payload size = 256” for Intel 82599 will improve the performance.2.

Demonstrating the Switching Methods for the PCIe Switch

The following lists out the environmental setting for the demonstration:

PCI root port on the Bottom Board connects to Port ID 0x0 of VS0.•

PCI root port on the Upper Board connects to Port ID 0x1 of VS1.•

The default Management Port is Port ID 0x0, therefore, only the Bottom Board can control PCI Express Switch. •
Others can control individual Port ID only.

Port ID 0x8, 0x9, 0x10 and 0x11 connect one set of Intel 82599 PCI Express LAN device respectively.•

Device 0 and 1 connect VS0 to the Bottom Board.•

Device 2 and 3 connect VS1 to the Upper Board.•
