Chapter 2: Board Installation

You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of
the Thunder n3600QE S4980 matches the E -ATX specification. Before
continuing with installation, confirm that your chassis supports an E-ATX
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.

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.

2.4 - 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.

http://www.tyan.com

19

2.5 - Installing the Processor(s)

pre-

installed

Your S4980 ports the latest processor technologies from AMD. Check the
TYAN website for latest processor support:

Back plate Assembly

Let 2 upper &

4 PEM nuts

The back plate is mounted on the backside of the motherboard and enhances
local stiffness to support shock and vibration loads acting on the heat sink. The
back plate assembly prevents excessive motherboard warpage in the area near
the processor. Without a back plate, excessive warpage could cause serious
damage to electrical connections of the processor socket and integrated circuit
packages surrounding the processor. The back plate also serves as a stiffener
plate for the LGA socket.

While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components. Follow these
instructions to install your back plate:

1. Remove the release liner from the back plate.

2. Align the PEM nuts on the back plate to the holes on the reverse side
of the PCB.

3. First, insert the taller upper & lower middle PEM nuts through the
holes of the PCB. The remaining four shorter PEM nuts should
automatically fit the 4 holes on the PCB as shown in the following
pictures.

lower-middle
PEM nuts pass
through the

holes.

holes.

http://www.tyan.com

21

4. Locate four screw holes on socket and screw the socket to the PCB
board.

NOTE: Do not assemble CPU before securing socket with screws.

5. Inspect Socket F assembly to PCB. The Socket F must be tightly
attached onto the PCB. There must NOT be any gap between stand
off the PCB.

http://www.tyan.com

22

Processor Installation

The processor should be installed carefully. Make sure you are wearing an
antistatic strap and handle the processor as little as possible.
Follow these instructions to install your processor:

1. Place the PCB such that the socket cam side faces you. Make sure
the lever hook is on your top-left side.

2. Use your right thumb to push the latches of PnP cap and remove the
PnP cap from the load plate.

3. Use your left thumb and forefinger to hold the lever hook, and then
pull it to the left side to clear the retention tab.

4. Rotate the lever to a fully open position.

5. Put your right thumb on the bottom-right side of the load plate to
open it.

6. Rotate the load plate to a fully open position.

http://www.tyan.com

23

7. Locate the Pin 1 indicator of the package. Align the package with the
socket and carefully insert the package into the socket with vertical
motion only. Vertically check if the CPU is seated well in the socket
housing. If not, take out the CPU, with vertical motion only, and
repeat the above steps.

NOTE: The alignment keys must be located in the notches of the package.

8. Close the socket. Rotate the load plate onto the package lid.
Engage the load lever while pressing down lightly onto the load plate.
Secure the lever near the hook end under the retention tab.

9. Repeat this procedure for the second processor if necessary.

Attention!

1. TYAN recommends that reengaging the PnP cap after operating or

testing, whenever the package is not in the socket.

2. Please note that the cap must be replaced when returning the MB to

TYAN for repair service. Failure to do so will void your warranty and
may cause damage to the board.

2.6 - Installing the Memory

DIMM

Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with
the motherboard and processor. Only DDR2-667/533/400 registered ECC
DIMM modules are required. 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 DDR2 memory modules.

• All installed memory will automatically be detected and no jumpers or

settings need changing.

• The Thunder n3600QE S4980 supports up to 64GB of memory.

The following chart outlines the suggested rules for populating memory.

2.7 - Attaching Drive Cables

Attaching IDE Drive Cable

Attaching the IDE drive cable is simple. These cables are “keyed” to only
allow them to be connected in the correct manner. TYAN motherboards
have two on-board IDE channels, each supporting two drives. The black

connector designates the Primary channel, while the white connector
designates the Secondary channel.

Attaching IDE cables to the IDE connectors is illustrated below:

Simply plug in the BLUE END of the IDE cable into the motherboard IDE
connector, and the other end(s) into the drive(s). Each standard IDE cable
has three connectors, two of which are closer together. The BLUE
connector that is furthest away from the other two is the end that connects
to the motherboard. The other two connectors are used to connect to drives.

NOTE: Always remember to properly set the drive jumpers. If only using
one device on a channel, it must be set as Master for the BIOS to detect it.

TIP: Pin 1 on the IDE cable (usually designated by a colored wire) faces
the drive’s power connector.

Attaching Serial ATA Cables

The Thunder n3600QE S4980 is also equipped with 6 Serial ATA (SATA)
channels.
Connections for these drives are also very simple.

There is no need to set Master/Slave jumpers on SATA drives.

http://www.tyan.com

27

Tyan has supplied two SATA cables and one SATA power adapter. If you
are in need of other cables or power adapters please contact your place of
purchase.

The following pictures illustrate how to connect an SATA drive

Attaching Floppy Drive Cables

Attaching floppy diskette drives are done in a similar manner to hard drives.
See the picture below for an example of a floppy cable. Most of the current
floppy drives on the market require that the cable be installed with the
colored stripe positioned next to the power connector. In most cases, there
will be a key pin on the cable which will force a proper connection of the
cable.

1. SATA drive cable
connection

2. SATA drive power
connection

3. SATA cable motherboard

4. SATA drive power adapter

Attach first floppy drive
(drive A:) to the end of
the cable with the twist
in it. Drive B: is usually
connected to the next
possible connector on
the cable (the second or
third connector after you
install Drive A:).

http://www.tyan.com

2.8 - 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 slot that appear on your motherboard.

PCI- Express x16 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.

PCI IDESELs and IRQ Assignments

2.11 - 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

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.
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 ( <F4> on remote console) to start the BIOS setup
utility.

3.2 – 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

3.4 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].

3.5 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.

Chapter 4: Diagnostics

Note: if you experience problems with setting up your system, always check the
following things in the following order:

By checking these items, you will most likely find out what the problem might
have been when setting up your system. For more information on
troubleshooting, check the TYAN website at: http://www.tyan.com.

4.1 Beep Codes

Fatal errors, which halt the boot process, are communicated through two kinds
of audible beeps.

•A single long beep followed by eight short beeps: It indicates that a
video error has occurred and the BIOS can't initialize the video screen
to display and additional info.

•A single long beep repeatedly: This 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.

4.2 Flash Utility

Every BIOS file is unique for the motherboard it was designed for. For Flash
Utilities, BIOS downloads, and information on how to properly use the Flash
Utility with your motherboard, please check the TYAN web site:

Note: Please be aware that by flashing your BIOS, you agree that in the event
of a BIOS flash failure, you must contact your dealer for a replacement BIOS.
There are no exceptions. TYAN does not have a policy for replacing BIOS chips

Appendix I: SMDC Information

Overview

Tyan Server Management Daughter Card (SMDC) is a powerful yet cost­efficient solution for high-end server management hardware packages. Tyan’s
goal is to provide remote system monitoring and control even when the
operating system is absence or simply fails. This empowers Tyan’s server
board with advanced industrial-standard features.

Tyan SMDC is a snap-in card that provides essential server management
solution. It enables any IT Manager by providing multi-interfaces to access the
hardware remotely and perform monitor, control and diagnose activities
effectively.

Tyan SMDC is not a peripheral card. Unlike regular peripheral card such as
AGP card, Network card or SCSI card, SMDC does not require any hardware
specific driver. As long as a standby power comes into the system, SMDC will
begin looking after the system.

Tyan SMDC provides diversified methods to communicate with the hardware. IT
manager has the flexibility to choose among Keyboard Controller Style (KCS),
Block Transfer (BT) style, Intelligent Chassis Management Bus (ICMB),
Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB), Emergency Management Port
(EMP) and standard IPMI-Over-LAN communication as defined in latest IPMI

1.5 specification.
Tyan SMDC is compatible with all IPMI-compliance software as well as Tyan

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 CD­ROMs 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.

http://www.tyan.com

83

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

http://www.tyan.com

84

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

EMRL: Embedded RAID Logic. An Adaptec specific RAID technology.
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 Baby­AT 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.

http://www.tyan.com

85

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.

IDE INT (IDE Interrupt): a hardware interrupt signal that goes to the IDE.
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-n­Play 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

http://www.tyan.com

86

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.

Pipelining: improves system performance by allowing the CPU to begin executing
a second instruction before the first is completed. A pipeline can be likened to an
assembly line, with a given part of the pipeline repeatedly executing a set part of an
operation on a series of instructions.

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.

PXE (Preboot Execution Environment): one of four components that together
make up the Wired for Management 2.0 baseline specification. PXE was designed
to define a standard set of preboot protocol services within a client, towards the goal
of allowing networked-based booting to boot using industry standard protocols.

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

http://www.tyan.com

87

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
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).

SCSI Interrupt Steering Logic (SISL): Architecture that allows a RAID controller,
such as AcceleRAID 150, 200 or 250, to implement RAID on a system board­embedded SCSI bus or a set of SCSI busses. SISL: SCSI Interrupt Steering Logic
( LSI ) (only on LSI SCSI boards)

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.

88

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.
ZCR: Zero Channel RAID. PCI card that allows a RAID card to use the onboard

SCSI chip, thus lowering cost of RAID solution
ZIF So cket (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).
