4-pin Serial-ATA Power Connector (PW1): It is for
connecting the SATA power cord.
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 LEC-7106 and remove the power cord.1.
Take off the 3 screws from the two sides of the LEC-2.
7106 System.
Open the cover.3.
Note:
The motherboard can support up to 4 GB memory
capacity in maximum.
Installing the System Memory
The motherboard supports DDR3 memory to meet the
higher bandwidth requirement of the latest operating
system and Internet applications. It comes with one
double data rate type three (DDR3) small outline dual inline memory module (SO-DIMM) socket.

Hardware Setup
Installing the Hard Disk
The system can accommodate one Serial-ATA disk. Follow
these steps to install a hard disk into the LEC-7106:
Place hard disk alongside of the mounting bracket 1.
and align the holes of the hard disk with the mounting
holes of the bracket
Attach the hard disk to the bracket with 4 mounting 2.
screws.
Connect the Serial-ATA power and data cables to the 3.
hard disk’s connectors.
Attach the hard disk with the bracket back to the 4.
system.
Plug the Serial-ATA cables (power and data) to the 5.
Serial-ATA Connectors on the main board.

Installing the 3G SIM Card
Unlock the SIM card reader by sliding it outward and 1.
flip it up diagonally.
The angled corner of the SIM ensures that the card fits 2.
only the correct way in the tray. Make sure that the ICs
will be in contact with the bottom of the reader.
Insert the 3. SIM card into the reader diagonally. Close
and lock the reader. You should feel a click when the
SIM card is locked securely in the reader.
Installing the Wireless 3G Module
Align the wireless module’s key with the Mini-PCIe slot 1.
notch.
Insert the wireless module into the connector 2.
diagonally.
Attach the wireless module to the slot with the screws 3.

Appendix A
Programming Watchdog Timer
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.
For sample watchdog code, see Watch dog and DIO folder
in the Driver and Manual CD
Click the Setup program.1.
The welcome screen appears. Click Next to proceed.2.
Driver Installation
Before you could access or control the operation of the
watchdog and Digital I/O functions, install the the L_IO
driver which is the library and driver needed for Lanner
General Purpose Input/Output interface or functions.
To install the L_IO driver:
Restart the computer, and then log on with 1.
Administrator privilege.
Insert the Drivers and User’s Manual CD to the USB-2.
optical drive.
Browse the contents of the support CD to locate the 3.
file LannerIO v101.rar under the \WD_DIO\ folder and
unzip the file.
Click the Setup program in the unzipped folder.4.
The installation process proceeds. Click Close when the 3.
process completes.
