Chapter 2: Board Installation

You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of the

S7010 matches the SSI EEB specification. Before continuing with installation, confirm that your chassis supports an SSI EEB motherboard.

How to install our products right… the first time

The first thing you should do is reading this user’s manual. It contains important information that will make configuration and setup much easier. Here are some precautions you should take when installing your motherboard:

(1) Ground yourself properly before removing your motherboard from the antistatic bag. Unplug the power from your computer power supply and then touch a safely grounded object to release static charge (i.e. power supply case). For the safest conditions, TYAN recommends wearing a static safety wrist strap.

(2) Hold the motherboard by its edges and do not touch the bottom of the board, or flex the board in any way.

(3) Avoid touching the motherboard components, IC chips, connectors, memory modules, and leads.

(4) Place the motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the antistatic bag that the board was shipped in.

(5) Inspect the board for damage.

The following pages include details on how to install your motherboard into your chassis, as well as installing the processor, memory, disk drives and cables.

2.4 - Installing the Processor and Heat Sink

Your S7010 supports the latest processor technologies from Intel

®

. Check the

TYAN website for latest processor support:

http://www.tyan.com

Processor Installation (LGA1366 Socket)

The processor should be installed carefully. Make sure you are wearing an antistatic strap and handle the processor as little as possible. Please note that both processors of the same type and frequency are required for optimal system performance.

NOTE: TYAN is not liable for damage as a result of operating an unsupported configuration.

Follow these instructions to install your processor.

The diagram is provided as a visual guide to help you install the socket processor and may not be an exact representation of the processor you have.

Step 1: Take off the CPU protection cap.

Step 2: Pull the CPU lever up to unlock the CPU socket (A). Then open the socket in the direction as shown (B).

Step 3: Place the CPU on the CPU socket, ensuring that pin 1 is located in the right direction.


Step 4: Close the CPU socket cover (A) and press the CPU socket lever down to secure the CPU (B).

Take care when installing the processor as it has very fragile connector pins below the processor that can bend and break if inserted improperly.

Heat Sink Installation

After installing the processor, you should proceed to install the heat sink. The CPU heat sink will ensure that the processor do not overheat and continue to operate at maximum performance for as long as you own them. The overheated processor is dangerous to the motherboard.

For the safest method of installation and information on choosing the appropriate heat sink, using heat sinks validated by Intel

®

.

Please refer to Intel’s website at

www.Intel.com

The following diagram illustrates how to install heat sink onto the CPU of S7010.

Place the heat sink on top of the

CPU and secure it to the motherboard using four screws clockwise.


2.5 - Thermal Interface Material

There are two types of thermal interface materials designed for use with the processors.

The most common material comes as a small pad attached to the heat sink at the time of purchase. There should be a protective cover over the material. Take care not to touch this material.

Simply remove the protective cover and place the heat sink on the processor.

The second type of interface material is usually packaged separately. It is commonly referred to as ‘thermal compound’. Simply apply a thin layer on to the CPU lid

(applying too much will actually reduce the cooling).

Note:

Always check with the manufacturer of the heat sink & processor to ensure the Thermal Interface material is compatible with the processor & meets the

manufacturer’s warranty requirements.


2.6 - Finishing Installing the Heat Sink

After you have finished installing the heat sink onto the processor and socket, attach the end wire of the fan (which should already be attached to the heat sink) to the motherboard. The following diagram illustrates how to connect fans onto the motherboard.

Once you have finished installing all the fans you can connect your drives (hard drives, CD-ROM drives, etc.) to your motherboard.

CPU VRD/IOH Heat Dispersion Notice

INSTALL FAN INTO CHASSIS TO LET AIR FLOW IN!!!

- To ensure that the board runs efficiently and does not overheat, make sure there is air flow around the CPU VRD/IOH (as shown) to help disperse the heat generated around the area.


2.7 - Tips on Installing Motherboard in Chassis

Before installing your motherboard, make sure your chassis has the necessary motherboard support studs installed. These studs are usually metal and are gold in color. Usually, the chassis manufacturer will pre-install the support studs. If you are unsure of stud placement, simply lay the motherboard inside the chassis and align the screw holes of the motherboard to the studs inside the case. If there are any studs missing, you will know right away since the motherboard will not be able to be securely installed.

Some chassis’ include plastic studs instead of metal. Although the plastic studs are usable, TYAN recommends using metal studs with screws that will fasten the motherboard more securely in place.

Below is a chart detailing what the most common motherboard studs look like and how they should be installed.


2.8 - Installing the Memory

Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard and processor. Check the TYAN Web site at: www.tyan.com for details of the type of memory recommended for your motherboard.

The following diagram shows common types of DDR3 memory modules.

Key points to note before installing memory:



Automatic memory bus frequency setting based on memory configuration and memory SPD information (to be adjusted by BIOS)



Supports up to 96GB (8GB x 12 DIMMs)



Supports un-buffered ECC/Non-ECC modules



Supports ECC Registered DDR3-800/1066/1333 memory modules



Supports SR, DR, QR Rank Module



All memory must be of the same type and density



Always populate from DIMM0 first

2.14 - Finishing up

Congratulations on making it this far! You’re finished setting up the hardware aspect of your computer. Before closing up your chassis, make sure that all cables and wires are connected properly, especially IDE cables and most importantly, jumpers. You may have difficulty powering on your system if the motherboard jumpers are not set correctly.

In the rare circumstance that you have experienced difficulty, you can find help by asking your vendor for assistance. If they are not available for assistance, please find setup information and documentation online at our website or by calling your vendor’s support line.


NOTE


Chapter 3: BIOS Setup

About the BIOS

The BIOS is the basic input/output system, the firmware on the motherboard that enables your hardware to interface with your software. The BIOS determines what a computer can do without accessing programs from a disk. The BIOS contains all the code required to control the keyboard, display screen, disk drives, serial communications, and a number of miscellaneous functions. This chapter describes the various BIOS settings that can be used to configure your system.

The BIOS section of this manual is subject to change without notice and is provided for reference purposes only. The settings and configurations of the BIOS are current at the time of print and are subject to change, and therefore may not match exactly what is displayed on screen.

This section describes the BIOS setup program. The setup program lets you modify basic configuration settings. The settings are then stored in a dedicated, batterybacked memory (called NVRAM) that retains the information even when the power is turned off.

To start the BIOS setup utility:

1. Turn on or reboot your system.

2. Press <Del> during POST (<Tab> on remote console) to start the BIOS setup utility.

BIOS Menu Bar

The menu bar at the top of the windows lists these selections:

Main To configure basic system setups

Advanced

Getting Help

Press [F1] to display a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window, press

[ESC].

In Case of Problems

If you have trouble booting your computer after making and saving the changes with the BIOS setup program, you can restart the computer by holding the power button down until the computer shuts off (usually within 4 seconds); resetting by pressing

CTRL-ALT-DEL; or clearing the CMOS.

The best advice is to only alter settings that you thoroughly understand. In particular, do not change settings in the Chipset section unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing. The Chipset defaults have been carefully chosen either by TYAN or your system manufacturer for best performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup options may cause the system to become unstable or unusable.

NOTE

: The following pages provide the details of BIOS menu. Please be noticed that the BIOS menu are continually changing due to the BIOS updating. The BIOS menu provided are the most updated when this manual is written. Please visit

TYAN’s website at http://www.tyan.com

for the information of BIOS updating.


3.1 - BIOS Main Menu

The Main BIOS Menu is the first screen that you can navigate. The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be configured. "Grayed-out" options cannot be configured, options in blue can be changed.

The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often, a text message will accompany it.

NOTE


Chapter 4: Diagnostics

NOTE: if you experience problems with setting up your system, always check the following things in the following order:

Memory, Video, CPU

By checking these items, you will most likely find out what the problem might have been when setting up your system. For more information on troubleshooting, check the TYAN website at: http://www.tyan.com

.

4.1 - Beep Codes

Fatal errors, which halt the boot process, are communicated through two kinds of audible beeps.

Eight short beeps: It indicates that a video error has occurred.

A single long beep repeatedly: It indicates that a DRAM error has occurred.

The most common type of error is a memory error.

Before contacting your vendor or TYAN Technical Support, be sure that you note as much as you can about the beep code length and order that you experience. Also, be ready with information regarding add-in cards, drives and O/S to speed the support process and come to a quicker solution.

4.2 - Flash Utility

Every BIOS file is unique for the motherboard it was designed for. For Flash

Utilities, BIOS downloads, and information on how to properly use the Flash Utility with your motherboard, please check the TYAN web site: http://www.tyan.com/

NOTE: Please be aware that by flashing your BIOS, you agree that in the event of a

BIOS flash failure, you must contact your dealer for a replacement BIOS. There are no exceptions. TYAN does not have a policy for replacing BIOS chips directly with end users. In no event will TYAN be held responsible for damages done by the end user.


4.3 - AMIBIOS Post Code

NOTE


Glossary

ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface): a power management specification that allows the operating system to control the amount of power distributed to the computer’s devices. Devices not in use can be turned off, reducing unnecessary power expenditure.

AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port): a PCI-based interface which was designed specifically for demands of 3D graphics applications. The 32-bit AGP channel directly links the graphics controller to the main memory. While the channel runs at only 66 MHz, it supports data transmission during both the rising and falling ends of the clock cycle, yielding an effective speed of 133 MHz.

ATAPI (AT Attachment Packet Interface): also known as IDE or ATA; a drive implementation that includes the disk controller on the device itself. It allows CD-

ROMs and tape drives to be configured as master or slave devices, just like HDDs.

ATX: the form factor designed to replace the AT form factor. It improves on the AT design by rotating the board 90 degrees, so that the IDE connectors are closer to the drive bays, and the CPU is closer to the power supply and cooling fan. The keyboard, mouse, USB, serial, and parallel ports are built-in.

Bandwidth: refers to carrying capacity. The greater the bandwidth, the more data the bus, phone line, or other electrical path, can carry. Greater bandwidth, then, also results in greater speed.

BBS (BIOS Boot Specification): is a feature within the BIOS that creates, prioritizes, and maintains a list of all Initial Program Load (IPL) devices, and then stores that list in NVRAM. IPL devices have the ability to load and execute an OS, as well as provide the ability to return to the BIOS if the OS load process fails for some reason. At that point, the next IPL device is called upon to attempt loading of the OS.

BIOS (Basic Input/Output System): the program that resides in the ROM chip, and provides the basic instructions for controlling your computer’s hardware. Both the operating system and application software use BIOS routines to ensure compatibility.

Buffer: a portion of RAM which is used to temporarily store data, usually from an application, though it is also used when printing, and in most keyboard drivers. The

CPU can manipulate data in a buffer before copying it, all at once, to a disk drive.

While this improves system performance --- reading to or writing from a disk drive a single time is much faster than doing so repeatedly --- there is also the possibility of losing your data should the system crash. Information stored in a buffer is temporarily stored, not permanently saved.


Bus: a data pathway. The term is used especially to refer to the connection between the processor and system memory, and between the processor and PCI or

ISA local buses.

Bus mastering: allows peripheral devices and IDEs to access the system memory without going through the CPU (similar to DMA channels).

Cache: a temporary storage area for data that will be needed often by an application. Using a cache lowers data access times, since the needed information is stored in the SRAM instead of in the slow DRAM. Note that the cache is also much smaller than your regular memory: a typical cache size is 512KB, while you may have as much as 4GB of regular memory.

Cache size: refers to the physical size of the cache onboard. This should not be confused with the cacheable area, which is the total amount of memory which can be scanned by the system in search of data to put into the cache. A typical setup would be a cache size of 512KB, and a cacheable area of 512MB. In this case, up to 512KB of the main memory onboard is capable of being cached. However, only

512KB of this memory will be in the cache at any given moment. Any main memory above 512MB could never be cached.

Closed and open jumpers: jumpers and jumper pins are active when they are “on” or “closed”, and inactive when they are “off” or “open”.

CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductors): chips that hold the basic startup information for the BIOS.

COM port: another name for the serial port, which is called as such because it transmits the eight bits of a byte of data along one wire, and receives data on another single wire (that is, the data is transmitted in serial form, one bit after another). Parallel ports transmit the bits of a byte on eight different wires at the same time (that is, in parallel form, eight bits at the same time).

DDR (Double Data Rate): is a technology designed to double the clock speed of the memory. It activates output on both the rising and falling edge of the system clock rather than on just the rising edge, potentially doubling output.

DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module): faster and more capacious form of RAM than SIMMs, and do not need to be installed in pairs.

DIMM bank: sometimes called DIMM sockets, because the physical slot and the logical unit are the same. That is, one DIMM module fits into one DIMM socket, which is capable of acting as a memory bank.

DMA (Direct Memory Access): channels that are similar to IRQs. DMA channels allow hardware devices (like soundcards or keyboards) to access the main memory without involving the CPU. This frees up CPU resources for other tasks. As with


IRQs, it is vital that you do not double up devices on a single line. Plug-n-Play devices will take care of this for you.

Doze mode: in this mode, only the CPU’s speed is slowed.

DRAM (Dynamic RAM): widely available, very affordable form of RAM which has the unfortunate tendency to lose data if it is not recharged regularly (every few milliseconds). This refresh requirement makes DRAM three to ten times slower than non-recharged RAM such as SRAM.

ECC (Error Correction Code or Error Checking and Correcting): allows data to be checked for errors during run-time. Errors can subsequently be corrected at the same time that they’re found.

EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM): also called Flash BIOS, is a ROM chip which can, unlike normal ROM, be updated. This allows you to keep up with changes in the BIOS programs without having to buy a new chip. TYAN’s BIOS updates can be found at http://www.tyan.com

ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data): a format for storing information about Plug-n-Play devices in the system BIOS. This information helps properly configure the system each time it boots.

Fault-tolerance: a term describing a system where one component can quickly be replaced without causing a loss of service, such as in a RAID system.

Firmware: low-level software that controls the system hardware.

Form factor: an industry term for the size, shape, power supply type, and external connector type of the Personal Computer Board (PCB) or motherboard. The standard form factors are the AT and ATX, although TYAN also makes some Baby-

AT and ATX Footprint boards.

Global timer: onboard hardware timer, such as the Real-Time Clock (RTC).

Handshaking: a process where two devices initiate communications. One device, typically the server, sends a message to another device, typically a client, in order to request establishment of a communications channel. The two devices will then exchange messages back and forth in order to settle on a communications protocol.

HDD: stands for Hard Disk Drive, a type of fixed drive.

H-SYNC: controls the horizontal synchronization/properties of the monitor.

IC (Integrated Circuit): the formal name for the computer chip.

IDE (Integrated Device/Drive Electronics): a simple, self-contained HDD interface.

It can handle drives up to 8.4 GB in size. Almost all IDEs sold now are in fact

Enhanced IDEs (EIDEs), with maximum capacity determined by the hardware controller.


I/O (Input/Output): the connection between your computer and another piece of hardware (mouse, keyboard, etc.)

Initial Program Load (IPL): a feature built into BBS-compliant devices, describing those devices as capable of loading and executing an OS, as well as being able to provide control back to the BIOS if the loading attempt fails.

IPL: see Initial Program Load.

IRQ (Interrupt Request): an electronic request that runs from a hardware device to the CPU. The interrupt controller assigns priorities to incoming requests and delivers them to the CPU. It is important that there is only one device hooked up to each IRQ line; doubling up devices on IRQ lines can lock up your system. Plug-n-

Play operating systems can take care of these details for you.

ISA (Industry Standard Architecture): a slower 8- or 16-bit bus (data pathway).

Latency: the amount of time that one part of a system spends waiting for another part to catch up. This is most common when the system sends data out to a peripheral device, and it waiting for the peripheral to send some data back

(peripherals tend to be slower than onboard system components).

Mirroring: see RAID.

NVRAM: ROM and EEPROM are both examples of Non-Volatile RAM, memory that holds its data without power. DRAM, in contrast, is volatile.

OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers): Compaq or IBM package other companies’ motherboards and hardware inside their case and sell them.

Parallel port: transmits the bits of a byte on eight different wires at the same time

(that is, in parallel form, eight bits at the same time).

PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect): a 32 or 64-bit local bus (data pathway) which is faster than the ISA bus. Local buses are those which operate within a single system (as opposed to a network bus, which connects multiple systems).

PCI PIO (PCI Programmable Input/Output) modes: the data transfer modes used by IDE drives. These modes use the CPU for data transfer (in contrast, DMA channels do not). PCI refers to the type of bus used by these modes to communicate with the CPU.

PCI-to-PCI bridge: allows you to connect multiple PCI devices onto one PCI slot.

Pipeline burst SRAM: a type of RAM that can maintain it’s data as long as power is provided to the memory chips. In this configuration, SRAM requests are pipelined, which means that larger packets of data are sent to the memory at one time, and acted upon quickly. This type of SRAM operates at bus speeds higher than 66MHz.


PM timers (Power Management timers): software timers that count down the number of seconds or minutes until the system times out and enters sleep, suspend, or doze mode.

PnP (Plug-n-Play): a design standard that has become ascendant in the industry.

Plug-n-Play devices require little set-up to use. Novice end users can simply plug them into a computer that is running on a Plug-n-Play aware operating system

(such as Windows 98), and go to work. Devices and operating systems that are not

Plug-n-Play require you to reconfigure your system each time you add or change any part of your hardware.

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks): a way for the same data to be stored in different places on many hard drives. By using this method, the data is stored redundantly, also the multiple hard drives will appear as a single drive to the operating system. RAID level 0 is known as striping, where data is striped (or overlapped) across multiple hard drives, but offers no fault-tolerance. RAID level 1 is known as mirroring, which stores the data within at least two hard drives, but does not stripe. RAID level 1 also allows for faster access time and fault-tolerance, since either hard drive can be read at the same time. RAID level 0+1 is both striping and mirroring, providing fault-tolerance, striping, and faster access all at the same time.

RAIDIOS: stands for RAID I/O Steering, a type of RAID technology from Intel.

RAIDIOS is a specification used to enable an embedded I/O controller, embedded on the motherboard, to be used as just an I/O controller or to be the I/O component of a hardware RAID subsystem. The RAIDIOS circuit allows an I/O Processor

(either embedded on the motherboard or on an add-in card) to configure the I/O controller and service the I/O controller’s interrupts. The I/O controller and the I/O

Processor together are two of the primary components of a hardware RAID subsystem.

RAM (Random Access Memory): technically refers to a type of memory where any byte can be accessed without touching the adjacent data, is often used to refer to the system’s main memory. This memory is available to any program running on the computer.

ROM (Read-Only Memory): a storage chip which contains the BIOS; the basic instructions required to boot the computer and start up the operating system.

SATA (Serial ATA): is an evolutionary replacement for the Parallel ATA physical storage interface. Serial ATA is a drop-in solution in that it is compatible with today’s software and operating systems. It will provide for systems which are easier to design, with cables that are simpler to route and install, smaller cable connectors, and lower voltage requirements.

SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic RAM): called as such because it can keep two sets of memory addresses open simultaneously. By transferring data alternately from one set of addresses and then the other, SDRAM cuts down on the delays


associated with non-synchronous RAM, which must close one address bank before opening the next.

Serial port: called as such because it transmits the eight bits of a byte of data along one wire, and receives data on another single wire (that is, the data is transmitted in serial form, one bit after another).

SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module): formally the most common form of RAM for motherboards. They must be installed in pairs, and do not have the carrying capacity or the speed of DIMM modules.

Sleep/Suspend mode: in this mode, all devices except the CPU shut down.

SRAM (Static RAM): unlike DRAM, this type of RAM does not need to be refreshed in order to prevent data loss. Thus, it is faster and more expensive.

SSI (Server System Infrastructure): an industry initiative intended to provide ready-to-use design specifications for common server hardware elements (chassis, power supplies, and racks) to promote and support server industry growth.

Standby mode: in this mode, the video and hard drives shut down; all other devices continue to operate normally.

Striping: see RAID

UltraDMA-33/66/100: a fast version of the old DMA channel. UltraDMA is also called UltraATA. Without proper UltraDMA controller, your system cannot take advantage of higher data transfer rates of the new UltraDMA/UltraATA hard drives.

USB (Universal Serial Bus): a versatile port. This one port type can function as a serial, parallel, mouse, keyboard or joystick port. It is fast enough to support video transfer, and is capable of supporting up to 127 daisy-chained peripheral devices.

VGA (Video Graphics Array): the PC video display standard

V-SYNC: controls the vertical scanning properties of the monitor.

ZIF Socket (Zero Insertion Force socket): these sockets make it possible to insert

CPUs without damaging the sensitive CPU pins. The CPU is lightly placed in an open ZIF socket, and a lever is pulled down. This shift the processor over and down, guiding into the board and locking it into place.


Technical Support

If a problem arises with your system, you should turn to your dealer for help first.

Your system has most likely been configured by them, and they should have the best idea of what hardware and software your system contains. Furthermore, if you purchased your system from a dealer near you, you can bring your system to them to have it serviced instead of attempting to do so yourself (which can have expensive consequences).
