equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case users will be required to

correct the interference at their own expense.

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.

Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the

instructions.

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.

Do not carry the handle of power supplies when moving to another place. The machine can only be used in a fixed location such as labs or computer facilities.

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).

Environment:

Do not install and/or operate this unit in any place that flammable objects are stored or used in. 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.

Installation of the equipment (especially in a rack) should consider the ventilation of the system’s intake

(for taking chilled air) and exhaust (for emitting hot air) openings so that the amount of air flow required

for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

To avoid a hazardous load condition, be sure the mechanical loading is even when mounting. 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.

Reliable earthing 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).

Installation & Operation:

The installation of this product must be performed by trained specialists; otherwise, a non-specialist

might create the risk of the system’s falling to the ground or other damages.

Lanner Electronics Inc. shall not be held liable for any losses resulting from insufficient strength for

supporting the system or use of inappropriate installation components.

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.

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.

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.

Portez un bracelet anti-ESD et veillez à ce qu’il soit bien au contact de la peau. Si aucun bracelet n’est

disponible, reliez votre corps à la terre en touchant la partie métallique du châssis.

Vérifiez régulièrement la valeur de résistance du bracelet antistatique, qui doit être comprise entre 1 et

10 mégohms (Mohms).

Avant d’allumer l’appareil, reliez le câble de mise à la terre de l’équipement à la terre. Une bonne mise à la terre (connexion à la terre) est très importante pour protéger l’équipement contre

les effets néfastes du bruit externe et réduire les risques d’électrocution en cas de foudre.

Pour désinstaller l’équipement, débranchez le câble de mise à la terre après avoir éteint l’appareil. Un câble de mise à la terre est requis et la zone reliant les sections du conducteur doit faire plus de 4

mm2 ou 10 AWG.

Lithium Battery Caution: There is danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with

the same or equivalent type. Dispose batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.

Disposal of a BATTERY into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a BATTERY can

result in an EXPLOSION.

Leaving a BATTERY in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment can result in an

EXPLOSION or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.

A BATTERY subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an EXPLOSION or the leakage of

flammable liquid or gas.

This equipment must be grounded. The power cord for product should be

connected to a socket-outlet with earthing connection.

There are two methods for installing this system into a rack:

With Mounting Ear Brackets only

This method is quick and easy by fixing this system to the front posts of the rack, but it also makes servicing

the system more difficult. Please note that the use of these brackets must go with a rack shelf or slide rails

to prevent the chassis from falling over, for the bracket assembly alone cannot provide sufficient support to

the chassis.

With Slide Rail Kit + Mounting Ear Brackets

This method is rather complicated, but the slidable rails allow you to access the system easily, while

securing it in the rack solidly.

The system shall be installed on the rack along with a shelf or slide rails, for the “Mounting Ears" are meant to secure the system, not to support it.

The Slide Rail Kit can secure the system while providing sufficient weight support for the device.

Chapter 3: Hardware Setup

1. Check the accessory pack for the following

items:

1x Screw Pack

2x Ear Brackets

2. Align the bracket to the side of the chassis and

make sure the screw-holes are matched, and

then secure the bracket onto the chassis with

three provided screws.

3. Repeat Step 2 to attach the bracket to the other

side of the chassis.

4. Install the chassis into the rack with the brackets

fixed onto the posts using the provided screws.

The actual approach you adopt and the needed

parts for assembly will depend on the

supporting accessory (shelf or rail kit) you use.

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

restarted as if a human operator had cycled the power.

Appendix C: Setting up Console Redirections

77

Console redirection lets you monitor and configure a system from a remote terminal computer by

re-directing keyboard input and text output through the serial port. The following steps illustrate how to

use this feature. The BIOS of the system allows the redirection of the console I/O to a serial port. With this

configured, you can remotely access the entire boot sequence through a console port.

1. Connect one end of the console cable to console port of the system and the other end to the serial port

of the Remote Client System.

2. Configure the following settings in the BIOS Setup menu:

BIOS > Advanced > Serial Port Console Redirection > Console Redirection Settings, select 115200

for the Baud Rate, None. for Flow control, 8 for the Data Bit, None for Parity Check, and 1 for the Stop

Bit.

3. Configure console redirection related settings on the client system. You can use a terminal emulation

program that features communication with serial COM ports such as TeraTerm or Putty. Make sure the

serial connection properties of the client conform to those for the server.

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 types of communication status for the bypass function, one is “Normal“ and another is

“Bypass“ status. Furthermore, the Lanner Bypass software is capable of controlling the bypass status in the

following 3 instances.

When the system powers off, it can be forced to enable the LAN Bypass function. When the system is in the just-on state which is a brief moment when it powers up.

The Lanner bypass possesses the following features:

1. Communication through SMBUS (I2C)

2. Independent bypass status control for each pair up to a total of 4 pairs

3. Lanner Bypass Modules can bypass systems Ethernet 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).

4. Software programmable bypass or normal mode

5. Software programmable timer interval:

- JUST-ON watchdog timer, used during JUST-ON, has timer setting of 5 to 1275 seconds of timer

interval.

- Run-Time watchdog timer, used during run-time, with of 1 to 255 seconds of timer interval.

6. Multiple Watchdog Timers:

-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 this timer to delay enabling the bypass in just-on state.
