To prevent damage to the system, ensure there is a minimum 10 cm clearance around the air vents for unrestricted airflow. The air temperature inside the enclosure could rise above the specified operating temperature limits if the airflow through the vents is restricted.

AVERTISSEMENT: Pour éviter d'endommager le système, assurez-vous qu'il y a un dégagement minimum de 10 cm autour des bouches d'aération pour une circulation d'air sans restriction. La température de l'air à l'intérieur du boîtier peut dépasser les limites de température de fonctionnement spécifiées si le flux d'air à travers les évents est restreint.

# 4 Getting Started

This chapter outlines the procedures for 2.5" storage, M.2 module, wall-mount brackets, and driver installation.

![The image displays a standard safety warning sign. It features a red triangle with a white border containing a large white exclamation point in the center. Directly below the triangle is the text 'WARNING:' printed in black, uppercase letters.](.mlb-3100-50m-dn000-1000-10/2300df09bcb5a6fbfb6af3c99559947a24358b34bc761b5120d887b8ea50c870.jpg)

Installation of an add-on device must be carried out by ADLINK service personnel only. Users must not disassemble the device themselves. Failure to comply with this instruction will result in loss of warranty.

AVERTISSEMENT: L'installation d'une carte d'extension PCIe doit être effectuée uniquement par le personnel de service ADLINK. Les utilisateurs ne doivent pas démonter l'appareil euxmêmes.

![The image shows a warning sign featuring a yellow equilateral triangle with a black border. Inside the triangle is a black exclamation point. Directly below the triangle is a white rectangular area containing the word 'CAUTION' printed in black, uppercase letters.](.mlb-3100-50m-dn000-1000-10/a70746843006db43fbe7d1008b484df201b298bd95f4132d43143e659c0a5f97.jpg)

Disconnect the unit from power before opening the chassis, or installing any internal components. See “Important Safety Instructions” on page 41.

ATTENTION: Débranchez l'unité de l'alimentation avant d'ouvrir le châssis ou d'installer des composants internes. Le non-respect de cette instruction entraînera la perte de la garantie. Voir “Consignes de sécurité importantes” à la page 135.

# 4.1 Installing 2.5” Storage

Before installing a disk drive, the drive bracket must be removed.

1. Remove the thumbscrews and take out the $_ { 2 . 5 " }$ drive bay.

# Appendix 5 BIOS Setup

The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is a program that provides a basic level of communication between the processor and peripherals. In addition, the BIOS also contains codes for various advanced features applied to the device. The BIOS setup program includes menus for configuring settings and enabling device features. Most users do not need to use the BIOS setup program, as the device ships with default settings that work well for most configurations.

![The image displays a standard warning symbol featuring a red triangle with a black border containing a black exclamation point in the center. Below the triangle, the text 'WARNING:' appears in black capital letters.](.mlb-3100-50m-dn000-1000-10/0a4463a296601baa6ea3b0dbb10689f22e25a9e0ac492fe3fac7cb3261d398d4.jpg)

BIOS options used in this manual are for reference only, and are subject to change. Users can download the latest BIOS version from the ADLINK website

![The image shows an icon of a document or page with a folded top-right corner and horizontal lines. A large, bold red checkmark is superimposed over the document. Below the icon, the text 'NOTE:' is written in black, uppercase letters.](.mlb-3100-50m-dn000-1000-10/b5efefc18d6474647132dabb9aeda31e015bda314e1f65759e35622aa20d7341.jpg)

Changing BIOS settings may lead to unexpected system behavior and the possible inability to boot.

The procedures described in this chapter outline the most common operations performed with the system BIOS

# 5.1 Restoring Default Settings

Restoring the BIOS to default settings can sometimes revolve unexpected behavior or misconfiguration.

![The image displays a white document icon with a folded top-right corner and horizontal lines. A large red checkmark is drawn diagonally across it. Below the icon, the text 'NOTE-' appears in black, capital letters.](.mlb-3100-50m-dn000-1000-10/75712770b405ecb021ad33a3a3d4792fdd1cf47c07b6e785cb3e4106dba2a699.jpg)

This procedure will also work if the display stays dark and the BIOS itself is not corrupted.

To restore default settings, do the following.

1. Power on the device and press the &lt;DEL&gt; key once the POST / boot logo screen appears. The BIOS setup menu will appear on screen. If the BIOS does not respond, make sure to wait to press &lt;DEL&gt; until the keyboard is initialized (indicated by flashing keyboard LEDs).

2. Press &lt;F9&gt;, and then press &lt;ENTER&gt; key to restore default settings.
3. Press &lt;F10&gt;, and then press &lt;ENTER&gt; to save your settings and exit.

The device will reboot with the BIOS default settings.

# 5.2 Enabling PXE / Network Boot

Some configurations may require booting the device from a network. The device supports Preboot Execution (PXE) ROM from the integrated Ethernet interface.

![The image displays a graphic icon of a white document or piece of lined paper with horizontal grey lines running across it. A large, bold red checkmark (or tick mark) is superimposed over the paper, slanting upwards from left to right. The top left corner of the paper appears slightly folded or curled. There is no text in the image.](.mlb-3100-50m-dn000-1000-10/53909c76c31816799bd16dc1b03c77fd819ef3df219e3a9c82c0e45572f35289.jpg)
NOTE:

Ensure connection of necessary services and servers to your network before initiating a network boot.

To enable network book in the system BIOS, do the following.

1. Power on the device and press the &lt;DEL&gt; key once the POST / boot logo screen appears. The BIOS setup menu will appear on screen. If the BIOS does not respond, make sure to wait to press &lt;DEL&gt; until the keyboard is initialized (indicated by flashing keyboard LEDs).

2. Navigate to the Advanced screen.
3. Select Network Stack Configuration, and then press &lt;Enter&gt; twice.
4. Selected Enabled, and then press &lt;Enter&gt;
5. Configure network settings, and then press &lt;Enter&gt;.
6. Press &lt;ESC. to return to the main menu.
7. Navigate to the Boot screen.
8. Select Boot Option #1, and then press &lt;Enter&gt;.
9. Select Network, and then press &lt;Enter&gt;.
10.Set all other boot devices to Disabled.
11.Press &lt;F10&gt;, and then press &lt;Enter&gt; to save your settings and to reboot the device.
