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.

· 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

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 disconne-

-cted using your fingers. It is recommended that you do not use nee-

-dlenosed pliers to remove connectors as these can damage the soft
metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

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 GA88-B5631 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.

Chapter 5: Mainboard 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

5~7kgf/cm (4.35~6.09 lb/in) on each mounting screw

for motherboard installation.

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

5.5 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.

NOTE: Be especially careful to look for extra stand-offs. If there are any stand-offs

present that are not aligned with a mounting hole on the motherboard, it will likely
short components on the back of the motherboard when installed. This will cause
malfunction and/or damage to your motherboard.

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 and
how they should be installed.

5.6 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.

NOTE: Peripheral devices can be plugged straight into any of these

ports but software may be required to complete the installation.

Onboard LAN LED Color Definition

The onboard Ethernet port has green and yellow LEDs to indicate LAN status. The

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 <Del> or <F2> during POST (Del 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 noticed

that the BIOS menu are continually changing due to the BIOS updating. The 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.
