1.3 Installation and Configuration

The FWA-3260 comes as a pre-configured system with CPUs, memory and peripherals installed in the unit. In the rare case that you procured a barebone system or need to install components in the FWA-3260 for any other reason, please refer to section 3.

1.3.1 Rack Mounting

The FWA-3260 appliance is designed to be installed in a standard 19-inch rack. Please follow the basic guidelines below for rack mounting:

1. Mount the mounting ears on the each side of the unit using the screws included.

1) Locate the threaded mount holes on the chassis on the side, close to the front panel

Front view of a blue computer monitor with ventilation slots and a circular logo on the left (no visible text or symbols)

Figure 1: Mounting ear thread holes

2) Place the mounting ear over the holes and insert the three screws. Do not tighten the screws immediately.

Figure 2: Mounting ear screws inserted but not fastened yet

3) After all screws have been inserted, hand tightened them using a PH2 screw driver to ensure secure installation.

1. Ensure the rack is adequate for the unit (weight) and the application.
2. Use the mounting hardware recommended by the rack manufacturer to mount the unit in the rack. Four mounting screws, compatible with the rack design, must be used and hand tightened to ensure secure installation
3. While Advantech does not supply support brackets, slide rails are available for separate order. Please refer to section 2.6 for options.
4. Choose a mounting location where all four mounting holes line up with those of the mounting bars of the 19-inch cabinet.
5. Choose a mounting location that does not block any air inlet and air outlet areas of the unit, It is also recommended to factor in heat generated by adjacent equipment and to avoid exposure to direct sunlight when mounting the unit. 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 recommended ambient temperature per section 2.3.
6. Route cables away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures and sources of noise.

Make sure that cables do not block air inlet and outlet areas. 8. Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment must be maintained.

1.3.2 Powering On

Before connecting the FWA-3260 to the power outlet, please make sure that the power rating of the outlet and the FWA-3260's PSU match. Please also make sure that the primary circuit and all power distribution in not overloaded. Inrush current and steady state power specifications for the FWA-3260 can be found in appendix C as well as the type label on the bottom of the unit.

Connect the power cord to the PSU module and then to the power outlet. The System has a DC on/off button next to the power connector.

The unit will automatically power on after power is supplied and push the DC on/off button to on position one times. The green LED on the front panel should be lit as the unit is under power.

Please refer to section 2.4 for the location of front and rear panel elements.

1.3.3 Connecting to the Console

FWA-3260 does not provide an interface for an external monitor in the standard configuration. BIOS output as well as OS output are provided via a serial terminal connection by default.

The remainder of this section describes how to configure PuTTY on a Windows platform for connection with the FWA-3260 serial console as a reference. Other terminal programs may be used in a similar way as well.

Open up PuTTY and begin the configuration as shown below. Please use the actual COM port's number on the client machine instead of "COM1".

• Specify "COM1" under serial line and "115200" for speed, no parity, no flow control.
• Check Serial for connection type.
• Check "VT100+" for keypad in the keyboard submenu
• Check "Colour" or "Both" for "Indicate bolded text" in the colours submenu
• Click the "Open" button and a PuTTY terminal screen will appear.

If the connection is successful you should be able to see the BIOS Power On (POST) screen after powering the unit:

Figure 7: BIOS POST screen (example)

Please note that the BISO is doing some initial start up work while the console is still not active. It may take a while until the BIOS POST screen appears. On the other hand, the BIOS has been optimized for minimum boot time. The BIOS will move through POST quickly and immediately try to boot an OS according to the selected boot options in the BIOS:

In case you would extend the time the BIOS displays the POST screen and waits for a key press to enter the setup menu, you can do so via the BIOS setup menu. Please refer to section 3.2 for details.

1.3.4 Installing an OS

Several options are available for OS installation:

• System comes with a preinstalled OS
• Install an image from a USB key
• Install an OS via network boot.

If you use Advantech's services to pre-install an OS, you can skip the following section.

1.3.4.1 Pre-Installed reference OS

If you receive this manual along with a sample unit, the system will have a reference OS installed by default. The unit will be ready to boot the reference OS from the mass storage option selected.

1.3.4.2 Installing and/or boot an OS from a USB key

To install an OS via USB and/or boot the appliance from an USB stick, please make sure the following BIOS options are configured properly:

Advanced Setup: USB Configuration: Mass Storage Driver = Enabled

To boot from a USB stick:

1) Create a Live USB stick using LiLi (available via http://www.linuxliveusb.com/) or a similar tool. Please make sure to configure the Linux for the operation with a serial console (115200bd, 8N1, no handshake). Enabling serial support in the Linux bootloader (grub or similar) as well as kernel debug messages via serial console may be valuable for potential troubleshooting.

2) Install the USB stick in one of the front ports. Make sure you have a serial console connection established via tools such as PuTTY as described earlier.

3) Power on the appliance.

4) The boot priority in the FWA-3260's BIOS is giving SATA devices higher priority than USB devices. This is a safety measure to avoid that any end user can tamper the unit when installed in the field with a bootable USB stick. So, in order to boot from the USB stick, you need to enter BIOS setup.

In BIOS setup menu, move to the "Boot" menu. You can either give the USB stick higher boot priority over SATA devices. Alternatively, you can select the USB stick in the "Boot Override" Menu. Boot Override will modify the boot order for a single boot process only and will automatically revert back to the original boot priority. After making these changes leave the Setup Menu via "Save&Exit".

This will restart the appliance and it will boot from the USB stick.

1.3.4.3 Installing an OS via network boot

To install an OS via network, basically works the same way as booting an OS via USB stick described above.

The main difference is that instead of a Linux live image you need to install a network installer / a network installable image on the USB key. Network Installers or network installable iso images are available for most Linux distributions such as RedHat, Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS. For detailed information, please refer to the documentation of the related network installer and / or Linux distribution.

Please make sure you configure the network installer image properly for the Ethernet port / device of the FWA-3260 that you plan to sue for the installation.

1.3.4.4 Booting an OS via network boot

The FWA-3260 supports booting over network via PXE.

To boot an OS via network, please make sure the following BIOS options In the Advanced: Network Stack Configuration Menu are configured properly:

Network Stack	Enabled	Enables the UEFI Network Stack.
IPv4 PXE Support	EnabledDisabled	Enabled if PXE booting in an IPv4 network;disabled otherwise

Table 2: PXE BIOS Options

Below are the steps to enable PXE boot.

1. It needs to set BIOS/ Advanced-> Network Stack Configuration-> Network Stack as enabled (default setting is disabled)

1. When set Network Stack is enabled, and then go to item of "BIOS/ Advanced->CSM Parameters -> Network" to enable PXE ROM function, set it as "Legacy" (IPV4 PXE) function.

1. Save BIOS and reboot system. The BIOS will show "Checking Media Presence......", if system is not connected PXE server, it will show "No Media Present......"

BIOS Date: 11/13/2014 17:28:35 Ver: NAMB2320V044
Press <DEL> or <ESC> to enter setup.

>>Checking Media Presence......
>>No Media Present......

>>Checking Media Presence......

>>Checking Media Presence......
>>No Media Present......

>>Checking Media Presence......
>>No Media Present...... 

1. User may re-login in BIOS, choose BIOS/ boot item, it will has "Network Device BBS Priorities" item and set UEFI PXE LAN boot sequence priority.

And please choose PXE Boot priority as "IBA GE Slot 0A00 v1570" it is on board Mgmt GbE port.

PXE boot usually does not allow for OS installation over network as the PXE client will only load a single file from the boot server. Similarly, booting Linux over network is usually a two stage process. In the first step, a boot loader such a grub or mini OS such as SysLinux are loaded via PXE from the boot server. The boot loader or miniOS then load the actual target OS which usually consists of multiple files which decompressed and installed into a RAM disk. The detailed process and required configuration of such network install will heavily depend on the target OS and boot loader / miniOS used. Please refer to the related documentation available.

PXE boot requires a DHCP server and a TFTP server in the network to complete. DHCP Server and TFTP server are commonly run on the same machine and collectively referred to as "boot server". Setting up such a boot server implies a couple of steps. How-to guides for setting up Linux as PXE boot server are available on the internet, e.g. https://www.debian-administration.org/article/478/Setting_up_a_server_for_PXE_network_booting.

Please note that it is recommended to setup a separate network / subnet for network booting as the DHCP required for PXE booting may conflict with existing DHCP servers in your network.

The PXE client in the FWA-3260 sends the system's GUID as part of the DHCP Request. Some boot servers have mechanisms to automatically configure the target OS image based on the client system's GUID. Using this mechanism allows to use the same boot server for network booting of different devices / appliances.

Figure 16: Mass storage components

2.4.12 BIOS

The FWA-3260's BIOS is based on AMI's APTIO BIOS and compliant to the UEFI, SMBIOS and ACPI specifications.

The BIOS performs probing, initialization and configuration of the FWA-3260 and initializes the OS boot process at the end of POST (Power On Self Test).

Regular BIOS output as well as the setup menu are displayed via the console port. Please refer to section 1.3.3 reg. the console connection process.

The BIOS Setup Menu is described in detail in section 3.2. BIOS Error Codes used during POST are described in appendix B.

Please note that the FWA-3260 does not have any onboard POST Code LEDs onboard. A special POST code adapter is required to retrieve BIOS error codes.

All BIOS configuration parameters bare stored in NVRAM, a dedicated section of the BIOS flash chip. Parameters are no longer stored in legacy CMOS RAM by the platform BIOS. I.e. BIOS configuration parameters will not be lost due to an empty battery.

2.4.12.1 Password protection

The BIOS supports and administrator password to restrict access to the BIOS setup menu to qualified and trusted personal, only.

2.4.12.2 BIOS defaults

The BIOS comes with a set of configuration parameters when shipped by Advantech referred to as “Optimized Defaults” or “factory defaults”. The user can change BIOS settings via the setup menu either temporarily or permanently by saving the changes as “User defaults”.

The BIOS loads Optimized Defaults by the option "Restore Defaults; and loads User defaults by the option "Restore User Defaults". If no User defaults have been defined, the BIOS will do nothing.

2.4.12.3 PCIe Tree

The BIOS also performs an enumeration of all PCIe resources, builds a bus/device map and assigns resources to the PCIe devices. Most OSs performs a reallocation of resources during start up. However, the PCIe bus/device map will not be changed by the OS. The table below gives an overview of the PCIe devices and their corresponding system function:

2.5 Advanced Platform features

2.5.1 Intrusion detection

The FWA-3260 does not support intrusion detection by default. This feature has been reserved in the motherboard design, though, and can be enabled at system level via customization. Please contact your Advantech representative should you be interested in this option.

2.5.2 Watchdog

The FWA-3260 provides a programmable watchdog that may be used to reset the system in case it bites due to malfunctioning application software to restore the unit to a known good state. The watchdog is based on H/W monitor 7904D timer. The watchdog timer is supported under Linux via a kernel driver. Please refer to Linux documentation in details.

2.5.3 LAN Bypass

For a detailed description of the LAN Bypass functionality and the related software API, please refer to the Advanced LAN Bypass User's Manual.

LAN bypass allows automated or manual control of the connectivity between two LAN ports grouped into a bypass segment and the host:

graph TD
    subgraph Connect
        A1["Segment"] --> A2["A"]
        A2 --> B1["B"]
        B1 --> C1["NIC"]
        A2 --> D1["NIC"]
    end
    subgraph Disconnect
        E1["Segment"] --> E2["A"]
        E2 --> F1["B"]
        F1 --> G1["NIC"]
        E2 --> H1["X"]
        F1 --> I1["X"]
        G1 --> J1["X"]
    end
    subgraph Bypass
        K1["Segment"] --> K2["A"]
        K2 --> L1["B"]
        L1 --> M1["NIC"]
        K2 --> N1["NIC"]
    end

Figure 20: Connectivity options of LAN ports in a bypass segment

In “connect” mode, the ports on a segment are connected to the host via NICs. Traffic will enter and leave the ports just like on a regular NIC.

In "disconnect" mode, the ports are disconnected from the host and from each other. No traffic can flow through the ports

In “bypass” mode, the two ports are disconnected from the host, but connected to each other. Traffic entering the system on one port will be sent out on the other port and vice versa.

"Bypass mode" is used to allow traffic to flow through the system when the system is in a non operational state such as loss of power or in case the application is unresponsive. Application health is monitored by a configurable watchdog.

"Disconnect" mode is typically used to block any traffic until the system has fully started up and the application SW is in a well defined state allowing to handle traffic properly.

Connectivity can be auto controlled by a number of system events:

Abstract arrangement of yellow squares on white background (no text or symbols)

● Power Up Host system is turned on / powers up (DC on)
● Power Down Host system is turned off / powers down (DC off)
● Power Reset Host system is reset or rebooted
● Watchdog Start LAN bypass watchdog is started or strobed for the first time
● Watchdog Timeout LAN bypass watchdog timed out
● External Trigger Global Watchdog Trigger input (dedicated GPIO pin)

In addition to the event driven model, it is also possible to set the connectivity for a bypass segment via the SW API.

2.5.3.1 LAN Bypass Segments

The FWA-3260 supports four onboard traffic ports which are grouped into 2 bypass segments as shown below:

graph TD
    A["Seg. 1"] --> B["Port 1"]
    C["Seg. 2"] --> D["Port 2"]
    E["Seg. 2"] --> F["Port 3"]
    G["Seg. 2"] --> H["Port 4"]

Figure 21: Onboard LAN ports and bypass segments

2.5.3.2 Bypass Watchdog Support

Each bypass segment is support by an independent watchdog timer. The timer basis is set to 100ms. Watchdog timeout periods can be set between 100ms and 6553.5 seconds (about 109 minutes).

The FWA-3260 also supports a global watchdog trigger which allows multiple bypass segments to be controlled at the same time. The global watchdog signal is connected between the two onboard bypass segments and also to the PCIe extension connector (for future use).

2.5.3.3 LED Behaviour

Advantech Advanced LAN bypass uses a LED to show the state of a bypass segment. Usually the bypass LED is implemented as a dual colour LED combined with a regular LAN port LED. The table below shows the status of the bypass LED, only. For a complete description of port LEDs please refer to appendix A.3.2).

State	LED Status
CONNECT	Off
BYPASS	Solid Amber
DISCONNECT	Blinking Amber (1Hz)
