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.

iv
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 NA570 Series 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 NA570 Series 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.

The NA570 is a 1U rackmount network appliance based on the 4th Generation Intel® Xeon E3/
Core i Processors with Intel® C226/H81 Chipset (Haswell), The appliance sets the target at
greatly improved CPU performance and reduced power consumption based on Intel’s new
architecture. It provides greater performance and power efficiency to equipment providers.
The Intel® AES New Instruction (AES-NI) enhancements are included with the NA570;
hardware-based acceleration to encrypt/decrypt the data. And it also support the Intel® Data
Plane Development Kit (Intel® DPDK), a set of software libraries that can improve packet
processing performance by up to ten times. It can achieve over 80 Mbps throughput on a
single Intel® Xeon processor.
For greater flexibility, the NA570 has two front-accessible expansion slots that allow
developers to expand one different LAN modules based on their solution requirements. This
expansions need to be requested before production. The 2 expandable LAN modules via the
PCIe 3.0 interface, supporting up to 24 GbE ports or up to 4 10GbE ports. To avoid the
influences of shutdown by the environment, the NA570 supports data protection via 12 pairs of
