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.

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.
22
http://www.tyan.com
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.
23
http://www.tyan.com
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.
24
http://www.tyan.com
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.
25
http://www.tyan.com
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.
26
http://www.tyan.com
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
27

2.10 - 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 slots that appear on your motherboard.
1 PCI-E x16 slot
2 PCI-E x8 slots
1 PCI-E x4 Slot
1 PCI 32/33MHz slot
Simply find the appropriate slot for your add-in card and insert the card firmly.
Do not force any add-in 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-in card.
YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector from

the motherboard before performing system hardware
NOTE
changes. Otherwise you may damage the board and/or
expansion device.
32
http://www.tyan.com

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.

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, 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.
BIOS Menu Bar
The menu bar at the top of the windows lists these selections:
Main To configure basic system setups

Advanced To configure the advanced chipset features
PCI/PnP To configure legacy Plug & Play or PCI settings
Boot To configure system boot order
Security To configure user and supervisor passwords
Chipset To configure chipset management features
Exit To exit setup utility

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.

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.

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.
85
http://www.tyan.com
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
86
http://www.tyan.com
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.
87
http://www.tyan.com
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.
88
http://www.tyan.com
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
89
http://www.tyan.com
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).
