Preface

Warnings

Read and adhere to all warnings, cautions, and notices in this guide and the documentation supplied with the chassis, power supply, and accessory modules. If the instructions for the chassis and power supply are incon-sistent with these instructions or the instructions for accessory modules, contact the supplier to find out how you can ensure that your computer meets safety and regulatory requirements.

CautionsElectrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage system components. Do the de-scribed procedures only at an ESD workstation. If no such station is avail-able, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis.

Safety Information Before installing and using the device, note the following precautions:

▪ Read all instructions carefully.

▪ Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.

▪ Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual.

▪ When replacing parts, ensure that your service technician uses parts specified by the manufacturer.

▪ Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating device.

▪ The load of the system unit does not solely rely for support from the rackmounts located on the sides. Firm support from the bottom is highly necessary in order to provide balance stability.

▪ The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock circuit. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufactur-er. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Installation Recommendations

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 grounding strap• An anti-static pad

Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recom-mended that you do not use needlenose pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

Chapter 2: Jumpers and Connectors

NSA 7110W User Manual

This chapter describes how to set the jumpers on the motherboard. Note that the following procedures are generic for NSA 7110W.

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 connec-tions as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connec-tors.

• 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 elec-

tronic 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 con-nected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous.

Follow the guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or your-self:

• 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.

Chapter 2: Jumpers and Connectors

NSA 7110W User Manual

Jumper SettingsA 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).

Two-Pin Jumpers: Open (Left) and Short (Right)

Three-Pin Jumpers: Pins 1 and 2 Are Short

NSA 7110W User Manual

Installing the System into a Rack CabinetRackmount Instructions

To mount the “NSA7110XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX” in any standard-sized , 2U high rack, follow these instructions:

1. Place the “NSA7110XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX” on a hard flat surface with the front panel facing you.

2. Attach a rack–mount bracket to one side of the “NSA7110XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX” with the supplied screws. Then attach the other bracket to the other side.

3. Make sure the brackets are properly attached to the “NSA7110XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”.

4. Use the appropriate screws (not included) to securely attach the brack-ets to your rack.

5. Elevated Operating Ambient - 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.

6. Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

7. Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechani-cal loading.

8. Circuit Overloading - 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 overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Ap-propriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

9. Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connec-tions other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).”

Important:Make sure you use the screws supplied with the mounting brack-ets. Using the wrong screws could damage the“NSA7110XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX” and would invalidate yourwarranty.

Caution:Slide/rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.

Chapter 4: BIOS Setup

NSA 7110W User Manual

This chapter describes how to use the BIOS setup program for the NSA 7110W. The BIOS screens provided 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 ROM-based 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 affect how the computer per-forms. 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 con-sistent with the information contained in the CMOS RAM, whenever the CMOS RAM has lost power, or the system features need to be changed.

Chapter 4: BIOS Setup

NSA 7110W User Manual

Default ConfigurationMost of the configuration settings are either predefined according to the Load Optimal Defaults settings which are stored in the BIOS or are automatically detected and configured without requiring any actions. There are a few settings that you may need to change depending on your system configuration.

Entering Setup 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:

Bits Per Second

Selects the serial port transmission speed. The speed must match the other side. Long or noisy lines may require a lower speed.

Data Bits

The options are 7 and 8.

Parity

A parity bit can be sent with the data bits to detect some transmission erros.

Even Parity bit is 0 if the number of 1’s in the data bits is even.Odd Parity bit is 0 if number of 1’s in the data bits is odd.

Stop Bits

Stop bits indicate the end of a serial data packet. (A start bit indicates the beginning). The standard setting is 1 stop bit. Communication with slow devices may require more than 1 stop bit.

Flow Control

Flow control can prevent data loss from buffer overflow. When sending data and the receiving buffers are full, a “stop” signal can be sent to stop the data flow.

Recorder Mode

When this field is enabled, only text will be sent. This is to capture the terminal data.

Resolution 100x31

Enables or disables extended terminal resolution.

Appendix A: Watchdog Timer

aPPendix a: WatChdog timer

Watchdog Timer Setting NSA 7110W 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 environ-ments.

Set pin 89 as a WDTO output. Write ‘0’ to CR2B[4].

1. Select timer type (Sec/Min). LD8 CRF5[3] (0: sec, 1: min)

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.

Dog Timer Time-out ValueBIT Definition7-0 0x00 time-out disabled

0x01 time-out occurs after 1sec./min.
