Advantech intends to provide all necessary information to install and handle the FWA-1320 in this manual. Because of the complexity of this product and its various uses, we do not guarantee that the given information is complete. If you need addi- tional information, contact your Advantech representative.
Table 1 is missing or damaged, please contact your Advantech representative. When opening the box, you will find the FWA-1320 embedded in protective foam and the accessory box embedded to the foam. Remove the accessory box first and then pull out the unit including the protective foam using both hands.
The FWA-1320 comes as a pre-configured system with CPUs, memory and peripher- als installed in the unit. In the rare case that you procured a barebone system or need to install components in the FWA-1320 for any other reason, please refer to section 1.3.1...
Install an image from a USB key Install an OS via network boot. If you use Advantech’s services to pre-install an OS, you can skip the following sec- tion. 1.3.2.1 Pre-Installed reference OS If you receive this manual along with a sample unit, the system will have a reference OS installed by default.
PuTTY as described earlier. Power on the appliance. The boot priority in the FWA-1320’s BIOS is giving SATA devices higher priority than USB devices. This is a safety measure to avoid that any end user can tam- per the unit when installed in the field with a bootable USB stick.

The Firmware Version in use is 3.17. 2.4.8 BIOS The FWA-1320’s BIOS is based on AMI’s APTIO BIOS and compliant to the UEFI, SMBIOS and ACPI specifications. The BIOS performs probing, initialization and configuration of the FWA-1320 and ini- tializes the OS boot process at the end of POST (Power On Self Test).
Platform Management A Nuvoton NCT7904 Hardware Monitor Chip (HWM) provides hardware monitoring capabilities on the FWA-1320. The HWM chip is connector to the PCH’s SMBus. Standard software packages such as “lmsensors” can be used on the host to provide sensor information under Linux. Advantech provides the required patch that adds support for the HWM chip and a system specific configuration file.
2.5.1 Intrusion Detection The FWA-1320 does not support intrusion detection by default. This feature has been reserved in the motherboard design, though, and can be enabled at system level via customization. Please contact your Advantech representative should you be inter- ested in this option.
