Safety Guidelines

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).

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

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 watchdog folder on the
Driver and Manual CD

This following steps illustrate how to use this feature.
1. Connect one end of the console cable to console port
of the system and the other end to serial port of the
Remote Client System.
2. Configure the following settings in the BIOS Setup
menu for the device: Please refer to the Remote Access
Settings on Chapter 4 BIOS Settings.
BIOS > Advanced > Remote Access Configuration >
Serial Port Mode > [115200, 8 , n ,1 ]
3. Configure Console Redirection on the client system.
The following illustration is an example on Windows
platform:
a. A. Click the start button, point to Programs >
Accessories > Communications and select Hyper
Terminal.
b. B. Enter any name for the new connection and
select any icon.
c. Click OK.
d. From the “Connect to”. Pull-down menu, select the

7. Select the programs that you wish to install. Make sure
Windows Operating System:
that you have selected the drivers.
1. Restart the computer, and then log on with
Administrator privileges.
2. Insert the Drivers and User’s Manual CD to the USB-
optical drive.
3. Browse the contents of the support CD to locate the
file PRO2KXP.EXE from the \Driver\LAN folder. Double-
click the Executable file.
4. The program starts by extracting the file. Click Next to

2. Copy the base driver tar file from the motherboard/ ping <IP_address>
system support CD to the directory of your local hard
disk. The Intel® LAN driver for Linux OS is located in the Note: The system uses Intel 82574L and 82583V
following directory: Ethernet controllers, you could obtain the latest
\Driver\LAN_Driver\PRO1000\LINUX. The name format drivers at the Intel download center:
of driver file is “e1000-<Version>.tar.gz”. For example: http://www.intel.com/products/ethernet/
the file name of driver version 7.0.38 is “e1000-7.0.38.
tar.gz”.
3. Untar/unzip the archive, where <x.x.x> is the version
number for the driver tar file:
tar zxf e1000-<x.x.x>.tar.gz
4. Change to the driver src directory on your system,
where <x.x.x> is the version number for the driver tar:
cd e1000-<x.x.x>/src/
5. Compile the driver module by typing the following
command:
make install
6. The binary will be installed as:
/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/drivers/net/
e1000.o
The install locations listed above are the default
locations. They might not be correct for certain Linux
distributions.
7. Load the module using either the insmod or modprobe
command:
modprobe igb
insmod igb
Note that for 2.6 kernels the insmod command
can be used if the full path to the driver module is specified.
For example:
insmod /lib/modules/<KERNEL VERSION>/kernel/
drivers/net/igb/igb.ko
With 2.6 based kernels also make sure that older
igb drivers are removed from the kernel, before loading
the new module:
rmmod igb; modprobe igb
