1. Product Specifications
The AND-EL6KE1 is powered by the latest Intel®Celeron®J6412 processors
(formerly Elkhart Lake), designed to bring the performance needed to power network
applications from UTM and rewall to VPN and SD-WAN. Supporting up to 32 GB
of RAM, the system is capable of handling intensive networking processes, as well
as ensure more accurate and secure connections thanks to technologies like Intel®
AES-NI.
Designed for faster, more exible connections, the unit comes standard with four
copper Gigabit RJ-45 LAN ports and one ber SFP port, allowing fast, direct
connections. The AND-EL6KE1 provides wireless exibility with six antenna ports
and allow up to two wireless modules to be installed at the same time; including
multiple Wi-Fi and Bluetooth networks, as well as 4G and 5G cellular modules.The
system also features a redundant power supply for more reliable networking; and a
2.5” SATA drive bay to help power local network storage needs.

2.5. 2.5” Hard Drive Installation
This section details how to install a 2.5” SATA Drive (SSD) for the AND-EL6KE1.
Step 1: Remove the top cover by rst removing the two screws which secure it to
the bottom chassis, then sliding the bottom chassis as shown.
Step 2: Mount the SATA drive to the drive bracket and secure with three screws.

3. AMI BIOS Setup
3.1. System Test and Initialization
The system uses certain routines to perform testing and initialization during the boot
up sequence. If an error, fatal or non-fatal, is encountered, the system will output a
few short beeps or display an error message. The system can usually continue the
boot up sequence with non-fatal errors.
The system conguration verication routines check the current system conguration
against the values stored in the CMOS memory and BIOS NVRAM. If a system
conguration is not found or an error is detected, the system will load the default
conguration and reboot automatically.
There are three situations in which the CMOS settings will need to be set or
changed:
• Starting the system for the rst time
• The system hardware has been changed
• The system conguration was reset by the Clear CMOS jumper
• The CMOS memory has lost power and the conguration information is erased
The system’s CMOS memory uses a backup battery for data retention. The battery
must be replaced when it runs down.
3.2. AMI BIOS Setup
The AMI BIOS ROM has a pre-installed Setup program that allows users to modify
basic system congurations, which is stored in the battery-backed CMOS RAM and
BIOS NVRAM so that the information is retained when the power is turned off.
To enter BIOS Setup, press <Del> or <Esc> immediately while your computer is
powering up.
The function for each interface can be found below.
Main – Date and time can be set here. Press <Tab> to switch between date
elements
Advanced – Access hardware monitor and advanced board features and options
Chipset – Chipset settings and options
Security – The setup administrator password can be set here
Boot – Set boot drive priority and quiet boot options
Save & Exit – Save changes and exit the program
