FWA-1320 User Manual 26
2.4.5 Network Interfaces (onboard)
The FWA-1320 supports a total of 6 onboard network ports.
4 ports are dedicated as “traffic” ports (locations F8 to F11) and support Advanced
LAN bypass. The Ethernet Controller for the traffic ports is integrated into the Atom
C2000 SoC and referenced as “i354”, a derivative of the popular i350 standalone
controller.
Marvell 88E1111 PHYs are provided on the FWA-1320 to support 10/100/1000 Base-
T. These PHYs will be detected and configured automatically by the standard Ether-
net drivers available from Intel.
The two management ports are implemented using intel i210 Ethernet Controllers
with PCIex1 connectivity to the CPU.
2.4.6 PCIe Expansion
A custom from factor expansion module can be installed at location S5. The expan-
sion slot supports PCIex4 gen.2 connectivity. The custom PCIe expansion slot is
reserved for future use.
2.4.7 TPM
An Infineon SLB 9635TT 1.2 Trusted Platform Module is supported on the FWA-
1320.
This module is TCG-compliant and has passed Common Criteria EAL4+ certification.
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).
Regular BIOS output as well as the setup menu are displayed via the console port.
Please refer to section 1.3.3 reg. the console connection process.
The BIOS Setup Menu is described in detail in section 3.2. BIOS Error Codes used
during POST are described in appendix B.
Please note that the FWA-1320 does not have any onboard POST Code LEDs
onboard. A special POST code adapter is required to retrieve BIOS error codes.
All BIOS configuration parameters bare stored in NVRAM, a dedicated section of the
BIOS flash chip. Parameters are no longer stored in legacy CMOS RAM by the plat-
form BIOS. I.e. BIOS configuration parameters will not be lost due to an empty bat-
tery.
2.4.8.1 Password Protection
The BIOS supports and administrator password to restrict access to the BIOS setup
menu to qualified and trusted personal, only.
2.4.8.2 BIOS Defaults
The BIOS comes with a set of configuration parameters when shipped by Advantech
referred to as “Optimized Defaults” or “factory defaults”. The user can change BIOS
settings via the setup menu either temporarily or permanently by saving the changes
as “User defaults”.
The BIOS loads Optimized Defaults by the option “Resture Defaults; and loads User
defaults by the option “Restore User Defaults”. If no User defaults have been defined,
the BIOS will do nothing.
