Safety Approvals
 CE Marking
 FCC Class A
FCC Compliance
This equipment has been tested and complies with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. If not installed and used in accordance with proper instructions,
this equipment might generate or radiate radio frequency energy and cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measurers:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with emission limits.

Safety Precautions
Before getting started, read the following important cautions.
1. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing the internal components. Use a
grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in any static-shielded devices. Most
electronic components are sensitive to static electrical charge.
2. Disconnect the power cords from the NA-1301 Network Appliance Platform before making any
installation. Be sure both the system and the external devices are turned OFF. Sudden surge of
power could ruin sensitive components. Make sure the NA-1301 Network Appliance Platform is
properly grounded.
3. Do not open the system’s top cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must, only a trained
technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static
electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
 Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system unit
chassis for a few seconds. This will help to discharge any static electricity on your body.
 When handling boards and components, wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most
electronic component stores.

Disabled Open (default)
2.1.2.4 PICMG Bus Mode and Frequency Settings: JP12/JP13
PICMG contains two PCI/PCI-X Interfaces. The PCI Interface has a 33/66 -MHz bus speed, and the
PCI-X interface has a 66/100/133-MHz bus speed. The PICMG has maximum allowed device (show
below).

PCI MODE PCI-X MODE
BUS Mode 33 MHz 66 MHz 66 MHz 100 MHz 133 MHz
Maximum Slots 4 2 4 2 1
Under normal condition, the mode and frequency of the PICMG Bus will be automatically adjusted
according to the specification of the backplane and add-on card. But in certain condition, it may be
beyond the specification of the chipset and cause failure to boot up and failure in computation, then it is
necessary to set the JP12 and JP13 according to the following table.
For example, when there are 3 pieces of PCI-X 133MHz add-on cards inserted on the
backplane, according to the specification of the chipset that Maximum Slots = 1, the Bus
Mode must be must be adjusted to PCI-X 66MHz and Maximum Slots = 4 in order for a
correct operation.
