This chapter describes the jumpers and connectors that are on NSA 3111.
Before You Begin
• Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can
get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep
small components separated.
• Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally
damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow
require only a few simple tools, including the following:
• A Philips screwdriver
• A flat-tipped screwdriver
• A set of jewelers Screwdrivers
• A grounding strap
• An anti-static pad
• Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recom-
mended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.
• Before working on internal components, make sure that the power
is off. Ground yourself before touching any internal components, by
touching a metal object. Static electricity can damage many of the electronic components. Humid environment tend to have less static electric-
ity than dry environments. A grounding strap is warranted whenever
danger of static electricity exists.
Precautions
Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by
discharges of static electricity. Working on the computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous.
Follow the guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or yourself:
• Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet whenever you are
working inside the case.
• If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside
the computer case. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by
touching the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body
of any other grounded appliance.
• Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the com-com-
ponents on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Don’t flex or stress
the circuit board.
• Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they
shipped with until they are ready for installation.
• Use correct screws and do not over tighten screws.
A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal
pins and a cap. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are
placed on the correct pins. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins,
the jumper is short. If you remove the jumper cap, or place the jumper
cap on just one pin, the jumper is open.
Refer to the illustrations below for examples of what the 2-pin and 3-pin
jumpers look like when they are short (on) and open (off).
3. Note how the module is keyed to the socket. Grasping the module by
its edges, align the module with the socket so that the “notch” on the
module is aligned with the “key” on the socket. The key ensures the
module can be plugged into the socket in only one direction.
Notch on the
module
Key on the
socket
4. Seat the module vertically, pressing it down firmly until it is completely
seated in the socket. The ejector tabs at the ends of the socket will automatically snap into the locked position to hold the module in place.
1. If the system came with the heat sink already installed, loosen the
mounting screws that secure the heat sink to the board.
• Before you proceed, make sure (1) the CPU socket comes with
a protective cap, (2) the cap is not damaged and (3) the socket’s
contact pins are not bent.
• Make sure all power cables are unplugged before you install the
CPU.
• The CPU socket must not come in contact with anything other
than the CPU. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Remove the protective cap only when you are about to install the CPU.
2. Unlock the socket by pushing the load lever down, moving it sideways
until it is released from the retention tab.
5. Position the CPU above the socket. The gold mark on the CPU must
align with pin 1 of the CPU socket.
Gold mark
on the CPU
Pin 1 of the
socket
6. Insert the CPU into the socket until it is seated in place. The CPU will fit
in only one orientation and can easily be inserted without exerting any
force.
Do not force the CPU into the socket. Forcing the CPU into the
socket may bend the pins and damage the CPU.
Handle the CPU by its edges and avoid touching the pins.
7. Once the CPU is in place, close the load plate then push the lever down
until it snaps into the retention tab.

8. Apply thermal paste on top of the CPU. Do not spread the paste all
over the surface. When you later place the heat sink on top of the
CPU, the compound will disperse evenly.
1. Remove the mounting screws that secure the drive bay to the chassis.

2. Place the SATA hard drive onto the drive bay. Align the mounting holes
that are on the sides of the SATA drive with the mounting holes on the
drive bay. Use the provided mounting screws to secure the SATA drive
in place.
This chapter describes how to use the BIOS setup program for NSA 3111.
The BIOS screens in this chapter are for reference only and may change if
the BIOS is updated in the future.
To check for the latest updates and revisions, visit the NEXCOM Web site
at www.nexcom.com.tw.
About BIOS Setup
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup program is a menu driven utility that enables you to make changes to the system configuration
and tailor your system to suit your individual work needs. It is a ROMbased configuration utility that displays the system’s configuration status
and provides you with a tool to set system parameters.
These parameters are stored in non-volatile battery-backed-up CMOS
RAM that saves this information even when the power is turned off.
When the system is turned back on, the system is configured with the
values found in CMOS.
With easy-to-use pull down menus, you can configure such items as:
• Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals
• Video display type and display options
• Password protection from unauthorized use
• Power management features
The settings made in the setup program intimately affect how the computer performs. It is important, therefore, first to try to understand all the
Setup options, and second, to make settings appropriate for the way you
use the computer.
When to Configure the BIOS
This program should be executed under the following conditions:
• When changing the system configuration
• When a configuration error is detected by the system and you are
prompted to make changes to the Setup program
• When resetting the system clock
• When redefining the communication ports to prevent any conflicts
• When making changes to the Power Management configuration
• When changing the password or making other changes to the security
setup
Normally, CMOS setup is needed when the system hardware is not consistent with the information contained in the CMOS RAM, whenever the
CMOS RAM has lost power, or the system features need to be changed.
When the system is powered on, the BIOS will enter the Power-On Self
Test (POST) routines. These routines perform various diagnostic checks; if
an error is encountered, the error will be reported in one of two different
ways:
• If the error occurs before the display device is initialized, a series of
beeps will be transmitted.
• If the error occurs after the display device is initialized, the screen will
display the error message.
Powering on the computer and immediately pressing <Del> allows you to
enter Setup. Another way to enter Setup is to power on the computer and
wait for the following message during the POST:
TO ENTER SETUP BEFORE BOOT
PRESS <CTRL-ALT-ESC>
Press the <Del> key to enter Setup:
BIOS Main Menu

If your IDE hard drive
supports block mode
select Enabled for automatic direction of
the optimal number of
block read/writes per
sector the drive can
support
IDE HDD Block Mode
Enabled
The IDE HDD uses the block mode. The system BIOS will check the
hard disk drive for the maximum block size the system can transfer.
The block size will depend on the type of hard disk drive.
On-Chip Primary PCI IDE and On-Chip Secondary PCI IDE
Enables or disables the primary/secondary IDE. The default is Enabled.
Select Disabled if you want to add a different hard drive controller.
IDE Primary/Secondary Master PIO and IDE Primary/Secondary
Slave PIO
PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than have the BIOS issue
a series of commands to effect a transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO
allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then let the
controller and the CPU perform the complete task by themselves. Your
system supports five modes, 0 (default) to 4, which primarily differ in
timing. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will select the best available
mode after checking your drive.
Auto
The BIOS will automatically set the system according to your hard
disk drive’s timing.
Mode 0-4
You can select a mode that matches your hard disk drive’s timing. Caution: Do not use the wrong setting or you will have drive
errors.
IDE Primary/Secondary Master UDMA and IDE Primary/Secondary Slave UDMA
These fields allow you to set the Ultra DMA in use. When Auto is
selected, the BIOS will select the best available option after checking
your hard drive or CD-ROM.
Auto
The BIOS will automatically detect the settings for you.
Disabled
The BIOS will not detect these categories.
On-Chip Serial ATA
Disabled
Disables the onboard SATA.
Auto
The system will detect the existing SATA and IDE drives then automatically set them to the available master/slave mode.
Combined Mode
PATA and SATA are combined. Maximum of 2 IDE drives in each
channel.
Enhanced Mode
Enables both SATA and PATA. Supports maximum of 5 IDE drives.
SATA Only
This option automatically sets the SATA drives to Primary Master
mode. Since the SATA drives are in Master mode, you cannot set
the IDE drive to Master mode.
This field is used to select the function mode of the IDE 1 connector
and its relation to the SATA ports.
Primary
IDE 1 serves as Primary Master and Primary Slave channel. SATA
2 and SATA 4 serve as Secondary Master and Secondary Slave
channel. SATA 1 and SATA 3 are disabled.
Secondary
IDE 1 serves as Secondary Master and Secondary Slave channel.
SATA 1 and SATA 3 serve as Primary Master and Primary Slave
channel. SATA 2 and SATA 4 are disabled.
SATA Port
If the “PATA IDE Mode” field is set to Primary, this field will show
“P1, P3 is Secondary”; meaning SATA 2 and SATA 4 are Secondary.
If the “PATA IDE Mode” field is set to Secondary, this field will show
“P0, P2 is Primary”; meaning SATA 1 and SATA 3 are Primary.
Onboard Serial Port 1 and Onboard Serial Port 2
3F8/IRQ4, 2F8/IRQ3, 3E8/IRQ4, 2E8/IRQ3, 2E0/IRQ4
Allows you to manually select an I/O address for the serial port.
Disabled
Disables the serial port.
USB 1.0 Controller
This field is used to enable or disable the Universal Host Controller Interface (USB 1.0).
USB 2.0 Controller
This field is used to enable or disable the Enhanced Host Controller Interface (USB 2.0).
USB Keyboard Function
Due to the limited space of the BIOS ROM, the support for legacy USB
keyboard (in DOS mode) is by default set to Disabled. With more BIOS
ROM space available, it will be able to support more advanced features
as well as provide compatibility to a wide variety of peripheral devices.
If a PS/2 keyboard is not available and you need to use a USB keyboard
to install Windows (installation is performed in DOS mode) or run any
program under DOS, set this field to Enabled.
Power Management Setup lets you control the system power. The system
has various power-saving modes — including powering down the hard
disk, turning off the video, suspending to RAM, and software power down
— that allows the system to automatically resume by certain events.
The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the system is
inactive for a time, the timeouts begin counting. If inactivity continues
and reaches the defined timeout period, the system enters a power saving
mode. If any item in the list of Reload Global Timer Events is enabled, then
any activity on that item will reset the timeout counters to zero.
If the system is suspended or has been powered down by software, it can
be resumed by a wake up call that is generated by incoming traffic to a
modem, a LAN card, a PCI card, or a fixed alarm on the system real-time
clock.

PWRON After PWR-Fail
Off
When power returns after an AC power failure, the system’s power is
off. You must press the Power button to power-on the system.
On
When power returns after an AC power failure, the system will automatically power-on.
Former-Sts
When power returns after an AC power failure, the system will return
to the state where you left off before power failure occurs. If the
system’s power is off when AC power failure occurs, it will remain off
when power returns. If the system’s power is on when AC power failure occurs, the system will power-on when power returns.
ACPI Function
By default, the ACPI function is enabled. This function should be enabled
only in operating systems that support ACPI.

This field allows you to select the method of powering off your system.
Delay 4 Sec.
Regardless of whether the Power Management function is enabled or
disabled, if the power button is pushed and released in less than 4 sec,
the system enters the Suspend mode. The purpose of this function is
to prevent the system from powering off in case you accidentally “hit”
or pushed the power button. Push and release again in less than 4
sec to restore. Pushing the power button for more than 4 seconds will
power off the system.
Instant-Off
Pressing and then releasing the power button at once will immediately
power off your system.
These fields will show the temperature, fan speed and output voltages of
the monitored devices or components.

This option opens a dialog box that lets you install optimized defaults for
all appropriate items in the whole setup utility. Press the <Y> key and then
<Enter> to install the defaults. Press the <N> key and then <Enter> if you
do not want to install the defaults. The optimized defaults place demands
on the system that may be greater than the performance level of the components, such as the CPU and the memory.
Fatal errors or instability may occur if you install the optimized defaults
when your hardware does not support them. If you only want to install
setup defaults for a specific option, select and display that option, and
then press the <F7> key.
The User Password utility sets the password. The main board is shipped
with the password disabled. If you want to change the password, you
must first enter the current password, then at the prompt enter your new
password. The password is case sensitive. You can use up to eight alphanumeric characters. Press <Enter> after entering the password. At the next
prompt, confirm the new password by retyping it and pressing <Enter>
again.
To disable the password function, highlight “Set Password” then press
<Enter>, instead of typing in a new password. A message appears confirming that the password has been disabled. If you have set supervisor
and user Password, only the supervisor password allows you to enter the
BIOS setup program.
Note: If you forgot your password, the only way to solve this problem is
to discharge the CMOS memory by turning power off and placing a shunt
(jumper cap) on the RTC Clear jumper to short pin 2 and pin 3 for five
seconds, then putting the shunt back to pin 1 and pin 2.

NSA 3111 features a watchdog timer that resets the CPU or generates an
interrupt if the processor stops operating for any reason. This feature ensures system reliability in industrial standalone or unmanned environments.
Set pin 89 as a WDTO output. Write ‘0’ to CR2B[4].
2. Clear timeout status. Write ‘0’ to LD8 CRF7[4].
3. Set the timeout value. Meanwhile the timer will start to count down.
4. Write a value to LD8 CRF6. When a timeout occurs, pin 89 will become
active (high level).
5. CRF6 must be 0x0. Write another 0x00 to CRF6 (timeout disable) even
though it is already 0x00. Clear the timeout status. Write ‘0’ to LD8
CRF7[4]. pin 89 will fall at the same time.
CRFC6 (Default 0x00)
Watchdog Timer Time-out Value
Writing a non-zero value to this register causes the counter to load the
value to Watchdog Counter and start counting down. If Bit 7 and Bit 6 are
set, any Mouse Interrupt or Keyboard Interrupt event will also cause the
reload of previously-loaded non-zero value to Watchdog Counter and start
counting down. Reading this register returns current value in Watchdog
Counter.

This appendix provides definitions for the four GPI/O pins on NSA 3111.
GPI/O (General Purpose Input/Output) pins are provided for custom system
design. The pin programmed as input mode (GPI) or output mode (GPO)
depends on the configuration.
NSA 3111 provides LAN bypass functionality to ensure that data can still
pass through the device, even when it is powered off. This feature helps
ensure the continuous flow of data through the device in the event of a
hardware failure. For network security appliances deployed at the gateway, for example, it is crucial that they provide LAN bypass functionality to
ensure that hardware failure on these appliances will not bring down the
entire network.
