Chapter 2: Board Installation

You are now ready to install your motherboard. How to install our products right the first time The first thing you should do is reading this users 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

Your brand new S7025 supports the latest Tylersburg platform from Intel. Only Intel Nehalem-EP 2S processors are certified and supported with this motherboard. Check our website for latest processor support. http://www.tyan.com TYAN is not liable for damage as a result of operating an unsupported configuration.
Step1: Press the lever and unlock the CPU socket.
A Step2: Lift the CPU protection cap up and lay the CPU into the socket(A), ensuring pin1 is correctly located(B).
B Step3: Close the socket cover and press the CPU lever down to secure the CPU.
2.5 - 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 S7025.
Place the heat sink on top of the CPU and secure it to the motherboard using four screws clockwise.
2.6 - 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 and meets the manufacturers warranty requirements.
2.7 - 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.
2.8 - 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 preinstall 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.
2.9 - 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.
TYAN S7025 series support up to 64GB DDR3 memory. DDR3 800/1066/1333 memories are supported. All installed memory will automatically be detected and no jumpers or settings need changing.
Note:
1). For the DIMM number please refer to the motherboard placement in 2.3 - Board Parts, Jumpers and Connectors for memory installation. 2). Refer to the memory population option table for recommended memory installation instruction.
Memory Population Option Table

To achieve the best performance, TYAN strongly recommended memory installation configuration as listed below:
1. Single CPU installed (CPU0 Only)

Note:
1). indicates a populated DIMM slot. 2). If installing only one processor, you can choose either CPU0 or CPU1. 3). For two slots per channel configuration, it requires population to start with the DIMM slots furthest away from the processor.
Memory Installation Procedure

Follow these instructions to install memory modules into the S7025. 1. Press the locking levers in the direction shown in the following illustration.
2.
Align the memory module with the socket. The memory module is keyed to fit only one way in the socket. KEY SLOT
3.
Seat the module firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until it sits flush with the socket. The locking levers pop up into place.
2.10 - Attaching Drive Cables

Attaching Serial ATA Cables S7025 is equipped with 6 Serial ATA (SATA) channels. Connections for the drives are very simple. There is no need to set Master/Slave jumpers on SATA drives. If you are in need of SATA/SAS cables or power adapters please contact your place of purchase. The following pictures illustrate how to connect an SATA drive
1. SATA drive cable connection
2. SATA drive power connection
3. SATA cable motherboard connector
4. SATA drive power adapter
2.11 - Installing Add-On Cards

Before installing add-on cards, its helpful to know if they are fully compatible with your motherboard. For this reason, weve provided the diagrams below, showing the slots that may appear on your motherboard. PCI-E x 16 slot
PCI-E x 8 slot
PCI-E x 4 slot PCI 32bit slot Simply find the appropriate slot for your add-on card and insert the card firmly. Do not force any add-on cards into any slots if they do not seat in place. It is better to try another slot or return the faulty card rather than damaging both the motherboard and the add-on card. TIP: Its good practice to install add-on cards in a staggered manner rather than making them directly adjacent to each other. Doing so allows air to circulate within the chassis more easily, thus improving cooling for all installed devices.
Note:
YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector to the motherboard before performing system hardware changes to avoid damaging the board or expansion device.
2.12 - Connecting External Devices

Your motherboard supports a number of different interfaces through connecting peripherals. See the following diagrams for the details. VGA port Stacked DualUSB2.0 LAN2 LAN1 (Share with BMC)
COM port
Stacked Dual USB2.0
Note:
Peripheral devices can be plugged straight into any of these ports but software may be required to complete the installation.

We suggest using a 1000W or higher power supply, this is of course depends on how many devices you attach. 1000W is sufficient for common system (i.e.1 hard drive, 1 expansion card) configuration. However, a higher wattage solution may be needed if the system is fully loaded. Refer to www.tyan.com website for further information.
Note:
YOU MUST unplug the power supply before plugging the power cables to motherboard connectors.
2.14 - Finishing Up
Congratulations on making it this far! Youre finished setting up the hardware aspects 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 vendors support line.
Chapter 3: BIOS Setup

3.1 - 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, battery-backed 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.
3.2 - BIOS Menu Bar

The menu bar at the top of the windows lists these selections:
Main Advanced PCI/PnP Boot Security Chipset Exit To configure basic system setups To configure the advanced chipset features To configure legacy Plug & Play or PCI settings To configure system boot order To configure user and supervisor passwords To configure chipset management features To exit setup utility
3.3 - Setup Basics

The table below shows how to navigate in the setup program using the keyboard.
Key <F1> <ESC> arrow keys or arrow keys <Tab> / <Shift-Tab> <Home> / <End> <PgUp> / <PgDn> <-> <+> <F8> <F9> <F10> <Enter> Function General help window Exit current menu Select a different menu Move cursor up/down Cycle cursor up/down Move cursor to top/bottom of the window Move cursor to next/previous page Select the previous value/setting of the field Select the next value/setting of the field Load Fail Safe default configuration values of the menu Load the Optimal default configuration values of the menu Save and exit Execute command or select submenu
3.4 - Getting Help

Pressing [F1] will 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].
3.5 - 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.

Chapter 4: Diagnostics
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. A single long beep followed by two 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

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 computers 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 only at 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 CDROMs 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 results in greater speed. BBS (BIOS Boot Specification): 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. 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, which provides the basic instructions for controlling your computers 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 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 the possibility of
losing your data should the system crash. Information 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 information is stored in SRAM instead of slower 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. 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): 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 socket 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-nPlay devices will take care of this for you.
DRAM (Dynamic RAM): widely available, very affordable form of RAM which looses 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 theyre found. EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM): also called Flash BIOS, it 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. TYANs 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. 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. Global timer: onboard hardware timer, such as the Real-Time Clock (RTC). HDD: stands for Hard Disk Drive, a type of fixed drive. H-SYNC: controls the horizontal synchronization/properties of the monitor. HyperTransportTM: a high speed, low latency, scalable point-to-point link for interconnecting ICs on boards. It can be significantly faster than a PCI bus for an equivalent number of pins. It provides the bandwidth and flexibility critical for today's networking and computing platforms while retaining the fundamental programming model of PCI. 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.) 80 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. Plugn-Play operating systems can take care of these details for you. Latency: the amount of time that one part of a system spends waiting for another part to catch up. This occurs most commonly when the system sends data out to a peripheral device and has to wait for the peripheral to spread (peripherals tend to be slower than onboard system components). NVRAM: ROM and EEPROM are both examples of Non-Volatile RAM, memory that holds its data without power. DRAM, in contrast, is volatile. Parallel port: transmits the bits of a byte on eight different wires 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. PnP (Plug-n-Play): a design standard that has become ascendant in the industry. Plug-n-Play devices require little set-up to use. 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. PXE (Preboot 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 with 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 and 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 and is often referred to the systems 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. 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). SCSI Interrupt Steering Logic (SISL): Architecture that allows a RAID controller, such as AcceleRAID 150, 200 or 250, to implement RAID on a system boardembedded SCSI bus or a set of SCSI busses. SISL: SCSI Interrupt Steering Logic (LSI) (only on LSI SCSI boards) Sleep/Suspend mode: in this mode, all devices except the CPU shut down. SDRAM (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. SLI (Scalable Link Interface): NVIDIA SLI technology links two graphics cards together to provide scalability and increased performance. NVIDIA SLI takes advantage of the increased bandwidth of the PCI Express bus architecture, and 82 http://www.tyan.com
features hardware and software innovations within NVIDIA GPUs (graphics processing units) and NVIDIA MCPs (media and communications processors). Depending on the application, NVIDIA SLI can deliver as much as two times the performance of a single GPU configuration. Standby mode: in this mode, the video and hard drives shut down; all other devices continue to operate normally. 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. 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 shifts the processor over and down, guiding it into the board and locking it into place.
