Chapter 2: Board Installation

Precaution: The QUAD CPU Card supports EPS12V power supplies (24-pin/8-pin) and

will not operate with any other types.
DO NOT USE ATX 2.x, ATX12V or ATXGES power supplies as they will damage the

board and void your warranty.

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, 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.
(6) Specially take care of the 2 HT slots on the solder side (bottom) of the

motherboard.

The following pages include details on how to install your motherboard into your chassis,
as well as installing the processor, memory and cables.

NOTE DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED

2.09– Installing the Processor(s)

Your brand new QUAD CPU Card supports the latest 64-bit processor technologies from
AMD. Only AMD Opteron

™

processor 800 series are certified and supported with this

motherboard.
Check our website for latest processor support. http://www.tyan.com

NOTE Must mount all the four processors, or the 8P system (S4881+M4881)

can’t work normally.

TYAN is not liable for damage as a result of operating an unsupported configuration.

The diagram is provided as a visual guide to help you install socket processors and may
not be an exact representation of the processors you have.

http://www.TYAN.com

14

Lift the lever on the socket until it is approximately 90

o

or as far back as possible to the
socket.
Align the processor with the socket. There are keyed pins underneath the processor to
ensure that the processor’s installed correctly.
Seat the processor firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until the processor sits
flush with the socket.
Place the socket lever back down until it locks into place.
Your processor is installed.
Repeat these steps for the second, third and fourth processor if you are using four
processors.

Take care when installing processors as they have very fragile connector pins below the
processor and can bend and break if inserted improperly.

2.10 - Heatsink Retention Frame Installation

After you are done installing the processor(s), you should proceed to installing the
retention frame and heatsink. The CPU heatsink will ensure that the processors do not
overheat and continue to operate at maximum performance for as long as you own them.
Overheated processors are also dangerous to the health of the motherboard.

The backplate assembly prevents excessive motherboard flexing in the area near the
processor and provides a base for the installation of the heatsink retention bracket and
heatsink.

Because there are many different types of heatsinks available from many different
manufacturers, a lot of them have their own method of installation. For the safest method
of installation and information on choosing the appropriate heatsink, use heatsinks
validated by AMD. Please refer to AMD’s website at www.amd.com

.

http://www.TYAN.com

15

The following diagram will illustrate how to install the most common CPU back
plates:

1. Mounting screws

2. Heatsink retention frame

3. CPU socket

4. Motherboard PCB

5. Adhesive insulator material

6. Backplate assembly
NOTE: Please see next section

for specific instr uctions on how
to install mounting bracket.

2.11 -- Thermal Interface Material

There are two types of thermal
interface materials designed for
use with the AMD Opteron
processor.

The most common material
comes as a small pad attached
to the heatsink 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 heatsink on
the processor.

The second type of interface
material is usually packag ed
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 heatsink & processor to
ensure the Thermal Interface material is compatible with the
processor & meets the manufacturer’s warranty requirements

http://www.TYAN.com

16

2.12 Heatsink Installation Procedures
Type A: CAM LEVER (TYPE) INSTALLATION

1. After placing backplate and interface
material under motherboa rd place heatsink
retention frame on top of motherboard.
Align plastic retention bracket screw hole
with CPU back-plate standoffs.
Tighten screws to secure plastic retention
bracket. Repeat for on other side.

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

2. After tightening screws secure metal clip
to plastic retention bracket center tab.
Repeat for on other side of heatsink.

3. After securing metal clip to plastic
retention bracket center tab, push down on
plastic clip to lock plastic clip to side tab.

http://www.TYAN.com

17

Type B: SCREW RETENTION TYPE HEATSINK

1. After placing CPU back-plate and
adhesive interface material under
motherboard, place heatsink retention
frame on top of motherboard. Align
heatsink retention frame screw hole with
backplate assembly standoffs. Place
heatsink inside plastic retention bracket.
Place metal clip over retention frame tab.
Repeat for other side.

2. Insert screw through metal clip.

BE SURE METAL CLIP IS LOCKED
ONTO RETENTION FRAME TAB.

3. Tighten screw through metal clip.
Repeat on other side.

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

2.13 -- Finishing Installing the Heatsink

After you have finished installing the heatsink onto th e processor and socket, atta ch
the end wire of the fan (which should already be attached to the heatsink) 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.

http://www.TYAN.com

2.14 –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.

QUAD CPU CardsM4881 Mounting Hole Placement

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.

http://www.TYAN.com

19

2.15 – Installing the Memory

Before attempting to install any memory, make sure that the memory you have is
compatible with the motherboard as well as the processor.
The following diagram shows common types of DDR SDRAM modules:

http://www.TYAN.com

20

Here are a few key points to note before installing memory into your QUAD CPU
Cards:

• Always install memory beginning with CPU4_DIMM0 or CPU4_DIMM2

• In order to access memory that is associated with each CPU socket you

must also have a CPU installed in that corresponding socket. Memory
installed into dimm sockets that do not have a CPU installed with it will be
non-functional.

• AMD Opteron

TM

processors support 64-bit (non-interleaved) or 128bit

(interleaved) memory configurations

• At least ONE Registered DDR SDRAM module must be installed for the

system to turn on and POST (power on self test)

• 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB and 4GB Registered PC1600 /PC2100 /

PC2700 / PC3200 DDR SDRAM memory modules are su pport e d

• All installed memory will be automatically detected
The QUAD CPU CardsPro supports up to 32GB / 64GB.*
The eight-way system (S4881+M4881) supports up to 64GB /128 GB.
* Not validated at the time of print; subject to change. For 4-rank memory,

please contact Tyan for recommended memory list.

Modifying the memory configuration for a M4881 is fairly simple by following a few
basic steps. The following terms are used in the memory modification description:

• Bank – One or more DIMM’s logically arranged to form a given memory bus

access width (64-bit or 128-bit).

• Node – A Single processor, its memory controller and all of its associated

memory DIMM’s and DIMM sockets. A node represents a given processor’s
memory array as viewed from the HyperTransport ™ link.

• Bank Interleave – This form of interleaving causes the memory controller to

group two 128-bit DIMM banks into one large array. Every other 128-bit word
is stored in a given DIMM bank. Even word addresses are stored in the bank
composed of slots DIMM0 and DIMM1. Odd word addresses are stored in the
bank composed of slots DIMM2 and DIMM3. If enabled in BIOS setup, each
node with four identical DIMM’s is setup to use bank interleave.

• Node Interleave – Node based interleaving causes the system to group even

numbers of nodes into one large array. In the case of two-way node
interleaving (2 processors present), every other 128-bit word is stored on a
given node. Four-way node interleaving (four processors present) results in
every 4

th

128-bit word being stored on a given node. Node interleave is not
compatible with Microsoft’s SRAT table or Linux NUMA. If enabled in BIOS
setup and if all loaded nodes have the same amount of memory.

Rules for populating memory

:

64-bit support

: Choose DIMM slots 0 or 2 by themselves or use 0 and 2 together for

every CPU socket that corresponds to those DIMM slots.

128-bit support

: Choose DIMM slots 0 and 1 or 2 and 3 or all 4 together for every

CPU socket that corresponds to those DIMM slots.

http://www.TYAN.com

21

Refer to the diagram below if the re are further questions on how to populate

memory in 64-bit, 128-bit orientations or Bank Interleaving:

DIMM Number 64-Bit Width 128-Bit Width Bank Interleave

DIMM0 Bank 0 Bank 0, low 64 Bank 0, low 64,

even

DIMM1 Not Used Bank 0, high 64 Bank 0, high 64,

even

DIMM2 Bank 1 Bank 1, low 64 Bank 0, low 64,

odd

DIMM3 Not Used Bank 1, high 64 Bank 0, high 64,

odd

Memory Installation Procedure

When you install the memory modules, make sure the module aligns properly with the
memory slot. The modules are keyed to ensure that it is inserted only one way. The
method of installing memory modules are detailed by the following diagrams.

Once the memory modules are firmly seated in the slot, two latches on either side will
close and secure the module into the slot. Sometimes you may need to close the
latches yourself.

To remove the memory module, simply push the latches outwards until the memory
module pops up. Then remove the module.

NOTE

YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector from the

motherboard before performing system hardware changes.
Otherwise you may damage the board and/or expansion device.

http://www.TYAN.com

22

2.16 –HT SLOT brief introduction

The two HT Slots are actually two PCI-Ex16 slots with TYAN private signal definition
and use Hyper Transport to connect two HT cards to the S4881 (CPU Board specially
designed by TYAN) .

NOTE

YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector from the

motherboard before performing system hardware changes. Otherwise
you may damage the board and/or expansion device.

2.17– Installing the Power Supply

There are three power connectors on your QUAD CPU Cards. Tyan recommends that
you have an EPS12V power supply that has one 24-pin and two 8-pin power
connectors.

PWR3: 2x2 pin ATX 12V power
Connector

PWR2: 8-pin EPS 12V power connector

PWR1: 8-pin EPS 12V power connector

PWR4: 1x4 pin 5V&12V power conne c t or

Make sure you have connected both connectors before attempting to apply

power to the board.
* w/ 4-rank memory: please connect total 5 power connectors before connect power
cable to power supply to power outlet.

NOTE: We suggest using a 700W or higher power supply; this is dependent on how
many devices you have installed. However, 700W is sufficient for system without
many devices (i.e. 4 x AMD Opteron 875 CPU, 16 x 1G DDR 333 Memory, 1 x HDD,
2 or 3 expansion cards). We suggest using a 1350W or higher power supply to
support a 8-way system (S4881+M4881). For 4-rank memory support, please
contact Tyan directly for related power consumption table.
