Powering On

Before connecting the FWA-2320 to the power outlet, please make sure that the
power rating of the outlet and the FWA-2320's PSU match. Please also make sure
that the primary circuit and all power distribution in not overloaded. Inrush current
and steady state power specifications for the FWA-2320 can be found in appendix C
as well as the type label on the bottom of the unit.
Connect the power card to the PSU module and then to the power outlet. The PSU
has a primary on off switch next to the power connector. Make sure that this switch is
in the on position.
The unit will automatically power on after power is supplied. The green LED on the
front panel should be lit as the unit is under power.
Please refer to section 2.4 for the location of front and rear panel elements.

Connecting to the Console

FWA-2320 does not provide an interface for an external monitor in the standard con-
figuration. BIOS output as well as OS output are provided via a serial terminal con-
nection by default.

form for connection with the FWA-2320 serial console as a reference. Other terminal
programs may be used in a similar way as well.

COM port's number on the client machine instead of "COM1".

trol.

Check "VT100+" for keypad in the keyboard submenu

