Introduction
Thank you for choosing Lanner FW-8896. The FW-8896
is an upgrade platform of FW-8895. It delivers many
technological advancements as followed:
• Dual Intel® Haswell-EP Xeon® E5-2600 v3 CPUs with
C612 chipset
Driven by dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v3 CPUs
with C612 chipset (codenamed "Grantley"),
this new platform delivers excellent efficiency
and performance. The architecture of this next
generation platform supports quad-channel
memory, up to 512GB of registered DDR4 RAM and
40 PCIe 3.0 lanes. Regarding the chipset, Intel® C612
PCH (codenamed "Wellsburg") with ultra peripheral
connectivity supporting multiple PCIe lanes, SATA
ports, USB ports and IPMI/OPMA.
• Intel® QPI® links up to 9.6 GT/s
FW-8896 is built with dual Intel Xeon CPUs and
connected by the latest Intel QPI links up to 9.6 GT/s
to keep latency down to minimal even during heavy
workloads.
• Up to Eight Ethernet modules with 64 GbE ports:
Lanner FW-8896 can fit in up to 8 Ethernet modules,
with a total of up to 64 GbE ports. The appliance also
supports 1/10G RJ-45 or 1/10/40G fiber Ethernet.
NIC modules are available for further expansion
(optional).
• Support N+1 hot-swappable cooling fans with smart
fan control
Cooling fans are essential especially in rackmount
applications. The hot-swappable mechanism allows
easy replacement of worn-out fans to ensure
constant and reliable operations.
• Intel ® Coleto Creek 8925 acceleration engine
The integration of Intel Coleto Creek 8925 delivers up
to 25 Gbps throughput and provides optimal boost
to handle repetitive and large-scale mathematical
loads.
• Intel ® QuickAssist Technology
The Intel Grantley platform comes with Intel
QuickAssist Technology, accelerating security packet
and compression processes.
• Watchdog Timer and Gen 2/3 LAN Bypass
