I. Introduction
The IP Network Server NSW1U system is the first 1U rack mount server to join the
IP Network Server family, characterized by having long product life and a 20” depth
chassis. It features the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5400 series, and the
64-bit Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5100 series, providing improved
performance-per-watt over previous-generation rack mount servers.
IP Network Servers are suited to a host of applications in the network security and
industrial environment. The server is targeted to applications requiring rugged
systems including Intrusion Detection, Intrusion Protection, Firewall, VPN, SSL
VPN, and Application Secure Gateways. It can also support manufacturing,
industrial, utility and military applications where a rugged, highly reliable server is
required for harsh environments such as dust, high altitude, fire hazard,
earthquake propensity, and high ambient temperatures.

Notes on the NSW1U Model 0 Configuration and Options:
PCI Riser
oThe base configuration comes standard with one full-height, full-length
PCI Riser supporting one PCI-Express (PCIe) slot.
oAn alternate full-height, full-length, single-slot PCI-X riser is also
supported. It is available as an accessory (refer to “Production
Spares/Accessories List” in section III) and may be purchased as a
replacement for the PCIe riser.
SW RAID
oThe NSW1U supports only SW (Software/Firmware) RAID 0/1.
Solid State Drives
oSupport for solid state drives (with USB interface) is available by purchasing
a mounting kit accessory (TMWVSSDRIVE01W) to mount the drive inside
the chassis (refer to “Production Spares/Accessories List” in section III).
oThe following solid state drives are supported:
SMART Z-U130 eUSB Drive
(http://www.smartm.com/product/m_intel_z-u130.cfm)
Note: This replaces the Intel® Z-U130 Value Solid State Drive
Intel® Z-U130 Value Solid State Drive (legacy support)
oSolid state drives are available in several sizes and securely mount inside
the chassis. They enabling an array of product customization options.
Storage: independent of traditional disk drives
Boot OS from solid state drive; store data on hard drive
Store backup image of boot drive
Add a server partition to the server
Rack Mounting Options
oRack mounting kits for 2-post or 4-post, 19-inch or 23-inch racks are offered
by Kontron for this product. These include TMLCMOUNT21,
TMLPMOUNT41, TMLPMOUNT51, TMLPMOUNT52, and TMLPSLIDE01.
The Rail Enabling Kit (TMLREK01) is not required for these rack mount kits.
Please refer to Appendix A to determine the correct options to suit
your needs. For ordering details, refer to “Production
Spares/Accessories List” in section III.
oIf AXXBASRAIL13, AXXHERAIL2, AXXBASICRAIL, or AXXHERAIL from
Intel will be used, then a Rail Enabling Kit (TMLREK01) must be purchased
from Kontron to enable support of these rails.
For ordering details, refer to “Production Spares/Accessories List” in
section III.

Notes:
All above processors are on Intel’s long life roadmap.
The E5440 or L5410 processors are recommended with the NSW1U for highest
performance and longest availability and support. They are orderable from
Kontron or Intel using the indicated part numbers.
The above 5100 processor SKUs are also supported on the NSW1U for legacy
purposes, and are orderable from Intel only.
Heat Sinks
oOnly Tray processors are recommended with this product. The
processor thermal solution for this server must include the use of a
copper heat sink (e.g. see TMWHSNK01W in the Spares/Accessories
list below). There are no clips needed for this heat sink, since the heat
sink includes captive screws.
oThe boxed processors previously listed in the “supported” table have
been removed since these now include an aluminum heat sink which
does not provide sufficient heat dissipation to meet thermal
requirements. For this reason, Kontron does not recommend the use
of Boxed processors with this product.

IV. Quad Port Bypass NIC Capability
This section is intended for customers that plan to add Intel Quad Port NIC with Bypass
capability to the NSW1U. It describes what parts must be ordered to enable this capability.
The IP Network Server NSW1U Front NIC with Bypass has built in support for four ports
of bypass Copper Ethernet ports. In addition, all NSW1U servers are capable of
supporting:
A single FH/FL PCIe NIC board with four ports of bypass Gigabit Ethernet (either
Copper or Fiber) using the Quad NIC adapters designed by Intel.
The front-accessible NIC configuration also requires the purchase of an internal
cabling/mounting kit including an escutcheon for securing the front ports.
The Quad Bypass adapters and the cabling/mounting kits come in packages of five
units each. These kits include five of the NIC cables designed for the NSW1U system,
as well as the escutcheons, cable management bracket, and associated screws to
complete the installation of the Bypass adapter in the system. Also there are bulk pack
(48 count) escutcheon kits (copper, fiber, and filler panel) available to streamline the
customization and painting process of the system.
Below are the Accessories that may be ordered to enable the Quad Port Bypass NIC
capability on the NSW1U system. Parts indicated with an asterisk (*) should be ordered
from Intel. All other parts should be ordered from Kontron.

Overview of Intel® PRO/1000 Quad Port Bypass Server Adapters:
The Intel® PRO/1000 PT and PF Quad Port Bypass Server Adapters provide in-line server
appliances, such as Intrusion Protection Servers (IPSes), with high-performance, low-latency,
in-line connectivity, and a bypass mode to ensure business continuity. These adapters also
use the PCI Express* serial bus for greater throughput, and they support Intel® I/O
Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT) for further performance enhancement, including the
reduced overhead so important to IPS applications.
The Intel® PRO/1000 PT and PF Quad Port Bypass Server Adapters are intended for use by
equipment manufacturer hardware designers in application-specific in-line server appliances,
where a bypass mode is desirable. Given that equipment manufacturers typically write specific
software applications for their in-line platforms, Intel only provides open source reference
drivers for these adapters. Interested hardware designers may contact their local Intel
representative for additional product or purchase information.
More information on Intel® PRO/1000 Quad Port Bypass Server Adapters is
available at:

TMLCMOUNT21
The TMLCMOUNT21 kit mounts Communication Rack Mount Servers to a 2-post,
central office type, 19” wide rack. This kit consists of simple L-shaped brackets;
which fasten to the sides of the server and to the rack.

TMLPMOUNT41, TMLPMOUNT51 and TMLPMOUNT52
TMLPMOUNT41/51/52 series mounts Communication Rack Mount Servers to 2-
post or 4-post racks.
TMLPMOUNT41 and TMLPMOUNT51 are used for mounting servers on 19” wide
racks. These racks are considered standard EIA (universal hole spacing) racks.
TMLPMOUNT52 is used for mounting servers on 23” wide racks. These racks
could be standard EIA (universal or wide hole spacing) or ETSI (European) racks.
TMLPMOUNT41/51/52 series are designed with a slide-in rail-type system.
Although the mounts are designed as rails, they are not sliding rails. This means
the servers can be slid into the racks for installation purpose, but the rails are not
designed to support a mounted server during service.

Notes:
1. Extra care must be exercised with TMLPMOUNT41 to securely hold the server with one's
hands when sliding it out of the rack, else the server may fall to the ground as its being
removed.
2. Plastic strips on TMLPMOUNT41 have peeled off in some customer installations.
Consequence: The parts are usable, but the server may have somewhat of a "scrape-in
feel" rather than "slide in". Also, the rails will fit sloppier, so the side-located chassis
securing screws may be difficult to align in 2-post installations. Replacement material is
available from the plastic strip manufacturer.
3. Xylan is a tough, low-friction coating similar to Teflon.
4. EIA-Wide spacing doesn't have the interstitial hole that is present in EIA-Universal.
