Chapter 2: Board Installation
Installation
You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of the Tiger
i7501R S2735 matches the ATX specification. Before continuing with installation, confirm
that your chassis supports a standard ATX motherboard.
How to install our products right…. the first time!
The first thing you should do is read 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)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
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.
Hold the motherboard by its edges and do not touch the bottom of the board, or
flex the board in any way.
Avoid touching the motherboard components, IC chips, connectors, memory
modules, and leads.
Place the motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the antistatic bag
that the board was shipped in.
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.
NOTE
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED

J31 is an LED INPUT. The idea is to
run a wire from the activity LED output
header of any plug-in HD controller
card (e.g. a RAID card) to the
motherboard, so that the card's LED
can be &quot;combined &quot; with the IDE and
SCSI activity indicators on the
motherboard and then driven to the
J39 HD LED output. In other words,
when a card's LED lights up, so will
the front-panel hard-disk activity
indicator. This is useful for chassis that
have only a single LED to indicate HD
activity from multiple controller
sources. (Pin 1 = negative terminal of
the add-on card's LED header, Pin 2 =
do not connect.)

2.21 – Mounting the Motherboard
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’re 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.
TIP: Use metal studs if possible, as they hold the motherboard into place more securely
than plastic standoffs.

2.22 – Installing the Memory
Before attempting to install any memory, make sure that the memory you have is
compatible with the motherboard as well as the processor. Critically important is whether
you’re using the recommended memory for the current board you have. For this
information, please check Tyan’s web site at: www.tyan.com
The following diagram shows the types of RAM modules you may encounter depending
on your board:
20
http://www.TYAN.com
Memory Installation Procedure
The Tiger i7501R S2735 requires that memory modules be installed in pairs. Please
refer to the next page for exact details on installing memory modules correctly.
When installing memory modules, make sure the modules align properly with the memory
socket. There should be keys (small indents) on your memory modules that fit according
to the keys in the memory socket. DDR modules and sockets have only one key, which is
slightly near the center of the module/socket. The method of installing memory modules is
detailed in the following diagrams.
Once the memory modules are firmly seated in the socket, two clamps on either side will
close and secure the module into the socket. Sometimes you may need to close the
clamps manually.
To remove the memory module, simply push the clamps outwards until the memory
module pops up. Then simply remove the module.
TIP: When installing memory, a module may require a considerable amount of force to
seat properly, although this is very rare. To avoid bending and damaging your
motherboard, place it on its anti-static bag and onto a flat surface, and then proceed with
memory installation.
NOTE
YOU MUST unplug the power connector to the motherboard before
performing system hardware changes, to avoid damaging the board or
expansion device.
21
http://www.TYAN.com
Memory Pair Installation
When installing DIMM modules, you must install the first two memory modules in
DIMMA_DIMM1 and DIMMB_DIMM1.
Both modules must be the same in both size and density. Modules must also use the
same chip configuration, as in each module that is installed must physically have the
same number of memory chips on them.
All memory sockets must be populated by the same memory type, either x4 modules or
x8 you cannot mix and match x4 and x8 modules together.

Points to remember:
•
At least two Registered ECC DDR SDRAM modules must be installed for the
system to turn on and POST (Power On Self Test). Single Channel memory
support is not currently available. Please check Tyan’s website for updates on
this topic.
•
When installing modules, install them in this order: DIMMA_DIMM1,
DIMMB_DIMM1, DIMMA_DIMM2, DIMMB_DIMM2, etc.
•
128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB Registered ECC PC2100/PC1600
DDR SDRAM memory modules are supported in x4 or x8 configuration.
•
The Tiger i7501R S2735 supports up to 12GB of memory with 2GB (X4)
registered DDR modules.
•
Use ONLY x8 OR x4 type memory modules. Mixing memory types may affect
stability.
22
http://www.TYAN.com
•
RAM chips are organized as x4 bits or x8 bits. On a memory module you’re just
lining all these chips up in parallel so you have a 64bit wide data bus. All
512MB modules are made using 16 pieces of either 64Mbit x4, or 32Mbit x8. If
you use sixteen x8 chips you would get a 128bit data bus, so it has to be split
into two separate banks. Each with 64bit bus. That’s why 512MB modules
based on x8 chips are dual bank. To build 256MB modules you can either use
sixteen 32Mx4 chips, or eight 32Mx8 chips. But you can’t build a 256MB
module using 64Mx4 chips. To build 1GB modules you have to use thirty-two
64Mx4 chips. Two 64Mx4 chips are stacked on top of each other with a lead
frame in between. Stacking basically converts two 64Mx4 chips into one
128Mx4 chip or one 64Mx8 chip. Then you stick 16 stacks onto a PCB.
Stacking also saves real estate, so you can fit more chips onto a shorter PCB
and keep trace lengths in spec.
If you are still unsure whether you are using x4 or x8 memory you can research the
memory chip by the SDRAM part numbers, or go to http://www.google.com and
search for jedec 21-c 4.20.4.

2.23 – Installing the Processor and Heatsink
Your Tiger i7501R S2735 supports the latest processor technologies from Intel. Check the
following page on TYAN’s website for latest processor support:
http://www.Tyan.com
The following diagrams will detail how to install your processor(s):
The processors you choose to use may not look exactly like the one pictured above, nor
will the socket look exactly the same. The diagram is provided as a visual guide to help
you install socket processors.

o
Lift the lever on the socket until it is approximately 130 or as far back as
possible to the socket.
Align the processor with the socket. There are keys underneath the processor
just like on memory modules to ensure that they insert the correct way.
Seat the processor firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until the
processor sits flush with the socket.
Place the socket lever back down until it snaps into place.
Your processor is installed.
Repeat these steps for the second processor if you are using two processors.
NOTE: If using only one CPU, it must be installed in CPU1 socket.
Heatsink Installation
After you are done installing the processor(s), you should proceed to installing their
heatsinks. Heatsinks will ensure that the processors do not overheat and continue to
operate at maximum performance for as long as you own them. Overheated processors
may damage the motherboard.
Because there are many different types of heatsinks available from many different
manufacturers, a lot of them have their own method of installation. For the safest method
of installation and information on choosing the appropriate heatsink, please refer to Intel’s
website at http://www.intel.com.
24
http://www.TYAN.com
2.24 – Installing CPU Back-plates and retention modules
The following diagrams will illustrate how to install the included heatsink retention
modules and CPU back-plates. You should have: two back-plates and 9 screws. (Four
screws for each plate and one spare screw.)
NOTE: The back-plates must be installed prior to installing the motherboard into a chassis.
(Certain 1U chassis may not require the back-plates.)
1)
Align the heatsink mounting bracket to the holes around the processor socket
2)
Insert screws into bracket holes
25
http://www.TYAN.com
3)
4)
Screws should pass through bracket holes and through the motherboard.
Tighten screws into the CPU back-plates.
NOTE: The hexagonal nut MUST be on the viewable side of the CPU backplate as shown below!
5)
6)
After installing the CPU, seat the heatsink between brackets on processor
Attach heatsink retaining arms by locking them in the hook as shown below.
26
http://www.TYAN.com
Finishing Installing the Heatsink
After you finish installing the heatsink, attach the end wire of the fan (already be attached
to the heatsink) to the motherboard.
This diagram illustrates how to connect
fans onto the motherboard.
After you’re finished installing all the fans you can now connect your drives (hard drives,
CD-ROM drives, etc.) to your motherboard.
27
http://www.TYAN.com
2.25 – Attaching Drive Cables
Attaching IDE drive cabling is simple. These cables are “keyed” to only allow them to be
connected in the correct manner. Tyan motherboards have two on-board IDE channels,
each supporting two drives. The black connector designates the Primary channel,
while the white connector designates the Secondary channel.
Attaching IDE cables to the IDE connectors is illustrated below:
Simply plug in the BLUE END of the IDE cable into the motherboard IDE connector, and
the other end(s) into the drive(s). Each standard IDE cable has three connectors, two of
which are closer together. The BLUE connector that is furthest away from the other two is
the end that connects to the motherboard. The other two connectors are used to connect
to drives.
SATA (Serial ATA connectors)
With SATA cables, both ends are
the same. You can attach either end
to the motherboard or hard drive.
28
http://www.TYAN.com
Floppy Drives
Attaching a floppy drive can be done in a similar manner to an IDE drive. See the diagram
below for an example of a floppy cable. Most of the current floppy drives on the market
require that the cable be installed with the colored stripe positioned next to the power
connector. In most cases, there will be a key pin on the cable which will force proper
connection of the cable.
The first floppy drive (commonly
denoted as A:) is usually attached to
the end of the cable with the twist in it.
Drive B: is usually connected to the
second or third connector in the cable
(the second or third connector after
you install Drive A:).
Refer to your floppy drive’s installation
instructions (if available), or contact
your dealer if you are unsure about
how to attach the floppy drive(s).
Remember, you can only have 2 floppy
drives connected at any given time.
Below are some symptoms of incorrectly installed floppy drives. While they are minor and
installing them incorrectly doesn’t cause severe problems, it may cause your system to
freeze or crash when trying to read and/or write to diskettes.
Symptoms of incorrectly installed floppy drives
Usually caused by faulty cables, cables
put in backwards or a bad floppy drive
or motherboard. Try another floppy
drive to verify the problem if the cable
Drive is not automatically detected
is properly installed or try replacing the
actual cable. Also check to see if the
onboard floppy controller is enabled in
the BIOS setup.
The cable, floppy drive or motherboard
Drive Fail message at bootup
may be faulty. Try another drive or
cable to verify.
Check power cable and cabling.
Drive does not power on
Maybe a bad power supply or drive
cable problem.
Usually signifies that the cable on the
drive is on backwards, which is a
Drive activity light is constantly on
common issue. Reverse the cable at
the floppy drive end and try again.

2.26 – Installing Add-In Cards
Before installing add-in cards, it’s helpful to know if they are fully compatible with your
motherboard. For this reason, we’ve provided the diagrams below, showing the most
common slots that may appear on your motherboard. Not all of the slots shown will
necessarily appear on your motherboard, however, there will be combinations of what you
see here.
Simply find the appropriate slot for your add-in card and insert the card firmly. Do not
force any add-in cards (or anything else) into any slots if they won’t seat in place. It’s
better to try another slot or return the faulty card rather than damaging both the
motherboard and the add-in card.
TIP: It’s good practice to install add-in cards in a staggered manner, rather than directly
adjacent to each other. This allows air to more easily circulate within the chassis,
providing improved cooling for all installed devices.
NOTE
YOU MUST unplug the power connector to the motherboard before
performing system hardware changes, to avoid damaging the board or
expansion device.

2.27 – Connecting External Devices
Connecting external devices to the motherboard is an easy task. The standard devices
you should expect to plug into the motherboard are keyboards, mice, and printer cables.

2.28 – Installing the Power Supply
There are two power connectors on your Tiger i7501R S2735. The Tiger i7501R S2735
requires that you have an EPS12V power supply that has a 24-pin and an 8-pin power
connector. Please be aware that ATX 2.x, ATX12V and ATXGES power supplies are not
compatible with the board and can damage the motherboard and/or CPU(s).
Disconnect power supply from electrical outlet
1. Connect the EPS12V 8-pin power connector
2. Connect the EPS12V 24-pin power connector
3. Connect power cable to power supply to power outlet
Make sure you have connected both connectors before attempting to apply power
to the board.
NOTE
YOU MUST unplug the power supply before plugging the power cables
to motherboard connectors.
2.29 – 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.

Chapter 4: SATA/RAID Setup (Option)
&reg;
The motherboard supports RAID 0 or 1 for Serial ATA drives through the Intel ICH5-R
chipset. The Serial ATA as RAID option must be enabled in the BIOS before the system
&reg;
&reg;
&reg;
can load the Adaptec RAID option ROM code for Intel RAID. The Adaptec RAID
option ROM is a standard PnP (Plug and Play) option ROM that provides a pre-operating
&reg;
system user interface for the Intel RAID implementation. It also allows the boot order to
be selected from within the BIOS setup utility.
For this information, please check Tyan’s web site at: www.tyan.com
Warning
Before installing the driver into an existing system, backup any
important or useful data. Failure to follow this accepted PC practice
could result in data loss.
The Intel RAID feature is available in Win2000 and WinXP.
4.1 BIOS Configuration
Enter the BIOS setup program by pressing the &lt;Del&gt; key after the Power-On Self
Test (POST) memory test begins.
Select the Integrated Peripherals menu, then the On Chip IDE Configuration
menu.
Switch the SATA Mode option from IDE to RAID
Switch the Configure S-ATA as RAID option from [No] to [Yes]
Press &lt;F10&gt; to save the BIOS setting and exit the BIOS setup program.
4.2 Installing Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks
Installing Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks requires the use of a new SATA data cable (4conductor) which supports the Serial ATA protocol and a SATA power cable. Either end of
the SATA data cable can be connected to the SATA hard disk or the SATA connector on
the motherboard.
Note
Both the data and power SATA cables are new cables. You
cannot use older 40-pin 80-conductor IDE or regular IDE power
cables with SATA hard drives.
Carefully follow any technical instructions that come from the
hard disk manufacturer.
Follow the given steps for correct cable installation:
1. Attach either cable end to the SATA connector on the motherboard.
2. Attach the other cable end to the SATA hard disk.
65
http://www.TYAN.com
4.3 Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility
The Serial ATA RAID sets must be configured in the RAID Configuration utility. This
&reg;
configuration can be done by the Adaptec RAID Option ROM. During the Power-On Self
Test (POST), the following message will appear for a few seconds: Press &lt;Ctrl-A&gt; to
enter RAID Configuration Utility. After this message appears, press the &lt;Ctrl&gt; and &lt;A&gt;
keys simultaneously, the following screen menu appears.
Note

RAID 0
Migrate*
Creating a RAID 0 from one new drive and one
drive with data you wish to preserve.
RAID 1
Build*
Any time you wish to create a RAID 1, but
especially if you have data on one drive that you
wish to preserve.
RAID 1
Clear
Creating a RAID 1 on new drives, or when you
want to ensure that the array contains no data after
creation.
RAID 1
Quick Init
Fastest way to create a RAID 1. Appropriate when
using new drives.
* If you select Migrate for RAID 0, or Build for RAID 1, you will be asked to select the
source drive. The contents of the source drive will be preserved. However, the data
on the new drive will be lost.
68
http://www.TYAN.com
Note
Before adding a new drive to an array, back up any data contained on
the new drive. Otherwise, all data will be lost.
A RAID 1 created using the Quick Init option may return some data
miscompares if you later run a consistency check. This is normal and
is not a cause for concern.
The Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility allows you to use drives of
different sizes in a RAID 1. If you choose the smaller drive as the
second drive, you will be warned about the risk of data loss.
Warning
Do not interrupt the creation of a RAID 0 using the Migrate option. If
you do, there is no way to restart and no way to recover the data that
was on the source drive.

Fatal error indicating a serious problem with the system.
Consult your system manufacturer. Before declaring the
motherboard beyond all hope, eliminate the possibility of
interference by a malfunctioning add-in card. Remove all
expansion cards except the video adapter.
• If the beep codes are generated even when all other
expansion cards are absent, the motherboard has a serious
problem. Consult your system manufacturer.
• If the beep codes are not generated when all other expansion
cards are absent, one of the add-in cards is causing the
malfunction. Insert the cards back into the system one at a time
until the problem happens again. This will reveal the
malfunctioning add-in card.
If the system video adapter is an add-in card, replace or reseat
the video adapter. If the video adapter is an integrated part of
the system board, the board may be faulty.
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.

Appendix I: 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).
77
http://www.TYAN.com
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.
78
http://www.TYAN.com
EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM): also called Flash BIOS, is a
ROM chip, which can 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
EMRL: Embedded RAID Logic. An Adaptec specific RAID technology.
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 form of encryption. One system, typically the server, sends an
encryption scheme to another agent, typically a client. Thus, the client’s data is protected
during transmittal to the server.
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.
IDE INT (IDE Interrupt): a hardware interrupt signal that goes to the IDE.
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.
IPMB: Intelligent Platform Management Bus. It is a subset of I2C or SMBus. Brief
description, it is used to send IPMI messages/commands. (The communication uses
standard I2C or SMBus protocol. It is just that the message being sent into the bus is
formatted to IPMI standard.)
79
http://www.TYAN.com
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 fast secondary cache. It is used as a secondary cache because
SRAM is slower than SDRAM, but usually larger. Data is cached first to the faster primary
cache, and then, when the primary cache is full, to the slower secondary cache.
Pipelining: improves system performance by allowing the CPU to begin executing a
second instruction before the first is completed. A pipeline can be likened to an assembly
line, with a given part of the pipeline repeatedly executing a set part of an operation on a
series of instructions.
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-nPlay 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.
80
http://www.TYAN.com
PXE (Pre-boot Execution Environment): one of four components that together make up
the Wired for Management 2.0 baseline specification. PXE was designed to define a
standard set of preboot protocol services within a client, towards the goal of allowing
networked-based booting to boot using industry standard protocols.
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: RAID I/O Steering (Intel)
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.
SCSI Interrupt Steering Logic (SISL): Architecture that allows a RAID controller, such
as AcceleRAID 150, 200 or 250, to implement RAID on a system board-embedded SCSI
bus or a set of SCSI busses. SISL: SCSI Interrupt Steering Logic ( LSI ) (only on LSI
SCSI boards)
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 nonsynchronous RAM, which must close one address bank before opening the next.
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.
Serial ATA: Often abbreviated SATA or S-ATA, an evolution of the Parallel ATA physical
storage interface. Serial ATA is a serial link -- a single cable with a minimum of four wires
creates a point-to-point connection between devices. Transfer rates for Serial ATA begin
at 150MBps. One of the main design advantages of Serial ATA is that the thinner serial
cables facilitate more efficient airflow inside a form factor and also allow for smaller
chassis designs. In contrast, IDE cables used in parallel ATA systems are bulkier than
Serial ATA cables and can only extend to 40cm long, while Serial ATA cables can extend
up to one meter.
Serial port: Called such because it transmits the eight bits of a byte of data along one
wire, and receives data on another single wire (the data is transmitted in serial form, one
bit after another).
81
http://www.TYAN.com
SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module): Formerly the most common RAM for
motherboards. They must be installed in pairs, and don’t have the capacity or the speed
of DIMM modules.
Sleep/Suspend mode: in this mode, all devices except the CPU shut down.
SSI (Server System Infrastructure): an industry initiative intended to provide ready-touse 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 a 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.
Wake On LAN (WOL): A remote wake-up technology that enables you to remotely power
systems &quot;on&quot; for off-hours maintenance. A result of the Intel-IBM Advanced Manageability
Alliance and part of the Wired for Management Baseline Specification, this technology
helps save time on automated software installations, upgrades, disk backups and virus
scans. Equally important, it increases end-user productivity by moving such planned
disruptions to off-hours.
Watch Dogtimer (WDT): A device that performs a specific operation after a certain
period of time if something goes wrong with an electronic system and the system doesn't
recover on its own. The WDT contains a digital counter that counts down to zero at a
constant speed from a preset number. The counter speed is kept constant by a clock
circuit. If the counter reaches zero before the computer recovers, a signal is sent to
designated circuits to perform the desired action, e.g. reset the system. A normally
functioning system must re-load the WDT occasionally, to prevent the counter from
reaching zero.
ZCR: Zero Channel RAID. PCI card that allows a RAID card to use the onboard SCSI
chip, thus lowering cost of RAID solution
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. Hence, they should be of the most
assistance. Furthermore, if you purchased your system from a dealer near you, you can
actually bring your system to them to have it serviced, instead of attempting to do so
yourself (which can have expensive consequences).
Help Resources:
1. See the beep codes section of this manual on pg 38.
