Safety Approvals
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 Vengeance 3 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 Vengeance 3 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.

Introduction
This chapter contains general information and detailed specifications of the Vengeance 3
Series Network Appliance Server. It contains the following sections:
General Description
Features
Specifications
Dimensions and Outlines
I/O Outlets
1.1 General Description
The Vengeance 3 is a 1U rackmount network appliance based on Intel® Xeon E/ the
8th/9th Generation Core i Processors with Intel® C246 Chipset (code name is Coffee
lake), 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.
For greater flexibility, the Vengeance 3 has four front-accessible expansion slots that
allow developers to expand four different LAN modules based on their solution requirements.
This expansions need to be requested before production. The four expandable LAN
modules via the PCIe 3.0 interface support max up to 32 LAN ports. To avoid the influences of
shutdown by the environment, the NA591’s supports data protection of LAN bypass for fail-
over option by LAN module.
For storing event log data, the Vengeance 3 utilizes two 2.5” SATA HDDs. And Vengeance 3
supports four dual channel up to 128GB DDR4-2666 non-ECC/ECC memory and one
standard PCIe x8 expansion slot (PCIe x4 signal) for optional network security card.
The Vengeance 3 is designed for network enterprise business. Vengeance 3 not only
provides high performance processor, memory, storage interface and LAN connection, but
also includes outstanding management capability.
