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 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, MiTAC 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 motherbo ard on a g roun ded antist atic surface or on the antist ati c
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.
NOTE: Do not apply power to the board if it has been damaged.

2.6 Installing the Processor and Heat sink
The S5542 supported Intel® processors are listed in section 1.2 Hardware
Specifications on page 5. Check our website at http://www.tyan.com for latest
processor support.
NOTE: MiTAC TYAN is not liable for damage as a result of operating an
unsupported configuration.
Processor Installation (SNB_H4 (LGA1151) for Intel Skylake CPU)
Follow the steps below to install the processors and heat sinks.
Please note that the illustrations are based on a SNB_H4 (LGA1151) which may not
look exactly like the motherboard you purcha sed. Therefore, the illustrations should
be held for your reference only.
NOTE: Please save and replace the CPU protection cap when returning for service.
1. Locate the CPU socket.
2. Pull the CPU lever slightly away from the socket and then push it to a fully
open position.
3. Open the CPU socket cover.
Page 30
http://www.tyan.com
30
4. Remove the CPU protection cap.
5. Install the processor and make sure the gold arrow is located in the right
direction with two notches properly aligned.
6. Close the CPU socket cover.
7. Press the socket lever down to lock the CPU in place.
Page 31
http://www.tyan.com
31
Heat sink Installation
After installing the processor, you should pr oceed to install the heat sink. The CPU
heat sink will ensure that the processor do not overheat an d 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 the Intel® website:
http://www.intel.com
The following diagram illustrates how to install the heat sink for the SNB_H3
(LGA1150) socket.
1. Apply the thermal grease.
2. Place the heat sink on top of the CPU and push the 4 latches in a diagonal
pattern to lock it in place.
Page 32
http://www.tyan.com
32
3. Secure the heat sink screws.
4. Connect the fan cable to complete the installation.
Page 33
http://www.tyan.com
33
2.7 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 that the thermal interface material is compatible with the processor
and meets the manufacturer’s warranty requirements.

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 a re gold in
color. Usually, the chassis manufacturer will pre-install the support studs. If you ar e
unsure of stud placement, simply lay the motherb oard 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 b e
securely installed.
Some chassis include plastic studs instead of metal. Although the plastic studs are
usable, MiTAC 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 an d
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 http://www.tyan.com for
details of the type of memory recommended for your motherboard.
Supports up to 64GB of un-buffered non-ECC UDIMM DDR4 2133MHz
memory
Supports single/dual rank memor y
All installed memory will automatically be detected and no jumpers or settings

NOTE:
1. √ indicates a populated DIMM slot.
2. Use paired memory installation for max performance.
3. Populate the same DIMM type in each channel, specifically
- Use the same DIMM size
- Use the same # of ranks per DIMM
4. Dual-rank DIMMs are recommended over single-rank DIMMs.
5. Un-buffered DIMM can offer slightly better performance than registered DIMM if
populating only a single DIMM per channel.
6. Always install with DIMM_A0 Slot first.
Page 38
http://www.tyan.com

2.11 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 may appear on your motherboard.
PCI-E x 16 slot
PCI-E x 8 slot
PCI-E x 1 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.
TIP: It’s a good practice to install add-in 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.
Page 41
http://www.tyan.com

2.12 Connecting External Devices
Connecting external devices to the motherboard is an easy task. The motherboard
supports a number of different interfaces through connecting peripherals. See the
following diagrams for the details.
S5542GM4NR
NOTE: Peripheral devices can be plugged straight into any of these
ports but software may be required to complete the installation.

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. T his chapter d escribes
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 configuratio ns 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 po wer
is turned off.
To start the BIOS setup utility:
1. Turn on or reboot your system.
2. Press <Del> or <F2> during POST (Del on remote console) to start the BIOS
setup utility.
3.1.1 Setup Basics
The table below shows how to navigate in the setup program using the keyboard.

3.1.2 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] or the [Enter] key again.
3.1.3 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 thoroughl y understan d. In particu lar,
do not change settings in the Chipset section unless you are absolute ly sure of
what you are doing. The Chipset defaults have bee n carefully chosen either by
MiTAC 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.
3.1.4 Setup Variations
Not all systems have the same BIOS setup layout or options. While the basic look
and function of the BIOS setup remains more or less the same for most systems,
the appearance of your Setup screen may differ from the charts shown in this
section. Each system design and chipset combination requires a custom
configuration. In addition, the final appearance of the Setup program dep ends on
the system designer. Your system designer may decide that certain items should
not be available for user configuration, and remove them from the BIOS setup
program.
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. T he BIOS
menu provided are the most updated ones when this manual is written. Please visit
TYAN’s website at http://www.tyan.com for the information of BIOS updating.

Parity
A parity bit can be sent with the data bits to detect some transmission errors. Even:
parity bit is 0 if the num of 1’s in the data bits is even. Odd: parity bit is 0 if the num
of 1’s in the data bits is odd. Mark: parity bit is al ways 1. Space: parity bit is al ways
0. Mark and Space parity do not allow for error detection.

Stop Bits
Stop bits indicate the end of a serial data packet. (A start bit indicates the
beginning). The standard setting is 1 stop bit. Communication with slow devices
may require more than 1 stop bit.

Flow Control
Flow Control can prevent data loss from buffer overflow. When sending data, if the
receiving buffers are full, a ‘stop’ signal can be sent to stop the data flow. Once the
buffers are empty, a ‘start’ signal can be sent to restart the flow. Hardware flow
control uses two wires to send start/stop signal.

Appendix: Fan and Temp Sensors
This section aims to help readers identify the locations of some specific FAN and
Temp Sensors on the motherboard. A table of BIOS Temp sensor name
explanation is also included for readers’ reference.
NOTE: The red mark indicates the sensor.
Fan and Temp Sensor Location:
1. F an Sensor: It is located in the third pin of the fan connector, which detects
the fan speed (rpm)
2. Temp Sensor: Sys_Air_Outlet, Sys_Air_Inlet (on the front panel board),
SAS_Area_Temp, PCH_Temp and MB_Air_Inlet. They detect the system
temperature around.
NOTE: The system temperature is measured in a scale defined by Intel, not
