General Precautions

· Follow all caution and warning instructions marked on the equipment
and explained in the accompanying equipment documentation.

 Machine Room Environment

 · Make sure that the area in which you install the system is properly

ventilated and climate-controlled.

· Ensure that the voltage and frequency of your power source match the
voltage and frequency inscribed on the electrical rating label of the
equipment.

· Do not install the system in or near a plenum, air duct, radiator, or heat
register.

· Never use the product in a wet location.

Equipment Chassis

· Do not block or cover the openings to the system.

· Never push objects of any kind through openings in the equipment.

Dangerous voltages might be present.

· Conductive foreign objects can produce a short circuit and cause fire,
electric shock, or damage to your equipment.

· Lift equipment using both hands and with your knees bent.

Equipment Racks

To avoid injury or damage to the equipment:

· Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and
guidelines for manual materials handling.

· Do not attempt to move a rack by yourself; a minimum of two people
are needed to move a rack.

· Do not attempt to move a fully loaded rack. Remove equipment from
the rack before moving it.

· Do not attempt to move a rack on an incline that is greater than 10
degrees from the horizontal.

· Make sure the rack is properly secured to the floor or ceiling.

8

http://www.tyan.com

· Make sure the stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a
single-rack installation.

· Make sure racks are coupled together if it is a multiple-rack installation.

· Make sure the rack is level and stable before installing an appliance in

the rack.

· Make sure the leveling jacks are extended to the floor.

· Make sure the full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.

· Always load the rack from the bottom up. Load the heaviest component

in the rack first.

· Make sure the rack is level and stable before pulling a component out
of the rack.

· Make sure only one component is extended at a time. A rack might
become unstable if more than one component is extended.

To avoid damage to the equipment:

· The rack width and depth must allow for proper serviceability and cable
management.

· Ensure that there is adequate airflow in the rack. Improper installation
or restricted airflow can damage the equipment.

· The rack cannot have solid or restricted airflow doors. You must use a
mesh door on the front and back of the rack or remove the doors to

ensure adequate air flow to the system.

· If you install the Model in a rack, do not place equipment on top of the
unit. It will cause restricted airflow and might cause damage to the
equipment.

· Make sure the product is properly matted with the rails. Products that

are improperly matted with the rails might be unstable.

· Verify that the AC power supply branch circuit that provides power to

the rack is not overloaded. This will reduce the risk of personal injury, fire,
or damage to the equipment. The total rack load should not exceed 80
percent of the branch circuit rating. Consult the electrical authority having
jurisdiction over your facility wiring and installation requirements.

system. The system might have one or more power cords.

· Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is
easily accessible at all times.

· In all European electrical environments, you must ground the
Green/Yellow tab on the power cord. If you do not ground the

Green/Yellow tab, it can cause an electrical shock due to high leakage
currents.

· Do not place objects on AC power cords or cables. Arrange them so

that no one might accidentally step on or trip over them.

· Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from the electrical
outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.

· To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect all power cords
before servicing the appliance.

· When use 100V-127VAC input: The system does not support

redundant PSU operation if the total system load exceeds 10A.

Equipment Batteries

· The system battery contains lithium manganese dioxide. If the battery
pack is not handled properly, there is risk of fire and burns.

· Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or
dispose of the battery in fire or water.

· Do not expose the battery to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F).

· The system battery is not replaceable. If the battery is replaced by an

incorrect type, there is danger of explosion. Replace the battery only with a
spare designated for your product.

Chapter 2: Setting Up

2.0.1 Before you Begin

This chapter explains how to install the CPUs, CPU heatsinks,
memory modules, and hard drives. Instructions on inserting add-on
cards are also given.

2.0.2 Work Area

Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and
dirt can get into components and cause malfunctions. Use
containers to keep small components separated. Putting all small
components in separate containers prevents them from becoming
lost. Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from
accidentally damaging the internal components.

2.0.3 Tools

The following procedures require only a few tools, including the
following:

 A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver

 A grounding strap or an anti-static pad

Most of the electrical and mechanical connections can be
disconnected with your hands. It is recommended that you do not
use pliers to remove connectors as it may damage the soft metal or
plastic parts of the connectors.

Caution!

1. To avoid damaging the motherboard and associated

components, do not use torque force greater than

7kgf/cm (6.09 lb/in) on each mounting screw for

motherboard installation.

2. Do not apply power to the board if it has been

damaged.

32

http://www.tyan.com

2.0.4 Precautions

Components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by
discharges of static electricity. Working on a system that is connected
to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the guidelines
below to avoid damage to GA80-B7081 or injury to yourself.

 Ground yourself properly before removing the top cover of the

system. Unplug the power from the power supply and then
touch a safely grounded object to release static charge (i.e.
power supply case). If available, wear a grounded wrist strap.
Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching the
bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body of
any other grounded appliance.

 Avoid touching motherboard components, IC chips, connectors,

memory modules, and leads.

 The motherboard is pre-installed in the system. When

removing the motherboard, always place it on a grounded
anti-static surface until you are ready to reinstall it.

 Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch

the components on the board unless it is necessary to do so.
Do not flex or stress circuit boards.

 Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that

they ship with until they are ready for installation.

 After replacing optional devices, make sure all screws, springs,

or other small parts are in place and are not left loose inside
the case. Metallic parts or metal flakes can cause electrical
shorts.

NOTE: All connectors are keyed to only attach one way. All use the

correct screw size as indicated in the procedures.

Chapter 5: Motherboard Information

You are now ready to install your 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) 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 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.

Caution!

1. To avoid damaging the motherboard and associated

components, do not use torque force greater than

7kgf/cm (6.09 lb/in) on each mounting screw for

motherboard installation.

2. Do not apply power to the board if it has been

damaged.

Chapter 6: BIOS Setup

6.1 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 <F2> or <Del> during POST (<Tab> on remote console) to start the

BIOS setup utility.

6.1.1 Setup Basics

The table below shows how to navigate in the setup program using the keyboard.

6.1.2 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.

6.1.3 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 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 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.

6.1.4 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 depends 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 aware that

the BIOS menus are continually changing due to continual BIOS updates over the
product lifespan of the motherboard. The BIOS menus provided are current as of the
date when this manual was written. Please visit TYAN‘s website at

http://www.tyan.com for information on BIOS updates available for this specific

motherboard.

6.3.7.1 Console Redirection Settings

Terminal Type

Emulation: ANSI: Extended ASCII charset.
VT100: ASCII charset.
VT100+: Extends VT100 to support color function keys, etc.
VT-UTF8: Uses UTF8 encoding to map Unicode chars onto 1 or more bytes.

VT-UTF8 / VT100 / VT100+ / ANSI

Bits per Second

Select serial port transmission speed. The speed must be matched on the other side.
Long or noisy lines may require lower speeds.

38400 / 9600 / 19200 / 115200 / 57600

Data Bits

8 / 7

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 always 1. Space: parity bit is always 0.
Mark and Space parity do not allow for error detection.

None / Even / Odd / Mark / Space

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.

1 / 2

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.

None / Hardware RTS/CTS

VT-UTF8 Combo Key Support

Enable VT-UTF8 Combination Key Support for ANSI/VT100 terminals.

Enabled / Disabled

Recorder Mode

With this mode enabled only text will be sent. This is to capture Terminal data.

Disabled / Enabled
