How to install our products right… the first time
The first thing you should do is reading this user’s ma nual. 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 b ottom 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 dama ge .

2.4 - Installing the Processor(s)
Your brand new Thunder K8SRE supports the latest 64-bit processor
technology from AMD. Only AMD Opteron™ processor 200 series are certified
and supported with this motherboard.
Check our website for latest processor support. http://www.tyan.com
NOTE
If using a single processor, it MUST be installed in socket
CPU0. When using a single processor only CPU0 memory
banks are addressable.
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 hav e.
Step 1: Lift the lever on the socket until it is approximately 90
o
or as far back as
possible to the socket.
Step 2: Align the processor with the socket. There are keyed pins underneath
the processor to ensure that the processor’s installed correctly.
Step 3: Seat the processor firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until
the processor sits flush with the socket.
Step 4: Place the socket lever back down until it locks into place. The
installation is finished.
Repeat these steps for the second processor if you are using two processors.
Take care when installing processors as they have very fragile connector pins
below the processor and can bend and break if inserted improperly.

2.5 - Heatsink Retention Frame Installation
After you are done installing the processor(s), you shoul d 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
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
.
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
instructions on how to install
mounting bracket.
Page 20
http://www.tyan.com
20
2.6 - 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 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 heatsink &
processor to ensure the Thermal Interface material is
compatible with the processor & meets the manufacturer’s
warranty requirements
Page 21
http://www.tyan.com
21
2.7 - Heatsink Installation Procedures
Type A: CAM LEVER (TYPE) INSTALLATION
1. After placing backplate and
interface material under motherboard
place heatsink retention frame on top
of motherboard. Align plastic retention
bracket screw holes with CPU backplate standoffs.
Tighten screws to secure plastic
retention bracket. Repeat for the other
side. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
2. After tightening screws secure
metal clip to plastic retention bracket
center tab. Repeat for the 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.
Page 22
http://www.tyan.com
22
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 the other side.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

2.8 - Finishing Installing the Heatsink
After you have finished installing the heatsink onto the processor and
socket, attach 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.
Page 24

2.9 - Tips on Installing Motherboard in Chassis
Before installing your motherboard, make sure your chass is 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.
Pay attention when installing board in chassis. Some components are
near the mounting holes and can be damaged.
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.
Page 25
http://www.tyan.com

2.10 - 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:
Here are a few key points to note before installing memory into your
Thunder K8SRE:
•Always install memory beginning with CPU0 DIMMA1.
•In order to access memory on CPU1, both processo rs must be
installed.
•Single, pairs, or four modules are supported on each CPU.
•Configure memory symmetrically on each CPU for best performance.
•AMD Opteron
TM
processors support 64bit (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, and 2GB* Registered DDR400/333/266
DDR memory modules are supported
•All installed memory will be automatically detected
•The Thunder K8SRE supports up to 16GB* with two CPU’s installed.

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.

2.11 - Attaching Drive Cables
Attaching IDE Drive Cable
Attaching the IDE drive cable is simple. The cable is “keyed” to only allo w it
to be connected in the correct manner.
Attaching IDE cable to the IDE connector is illustrated below:
Simply plug in the BLUE END of the IDE cable into the motherboard IDE
connector, and the other end into the drive. 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 K8SRE is also equipped with 4 Serial AT A (SATA) channels.
Connections for these drives are also very simple.
There is no need to set Master/Slave jumpers on SATA drives.

The following pictures illustrate how to connect an SATA drive
1.SATA drive cable
connection
2. SATA drive power
connection
3. SATA cable motherboard
connector
4. SATA drive power adapter
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 conn ection of the
cable.
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:).

2.12 - 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 most common slots that may appear on your motherboard. Not
all of the slots shown will necessarily appear on your motherboard.
PCI-X 100 MHz Slot
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.

2.13 - Connecting External Devices
Your motherboard supports a number of different interfaces for connecting
peripherals. Some I/O ports may not be available with the board due to the
different configurations.
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 two onboard Ethernet ports have green and yellow LEDs to indicate LAN
status. The chart below illustrates the different LED states.

2.15 – 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, espe cially 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 4: Diagnostics
Note: if you experience problems with setting up your system, always check the
following things in the following order:
Memory, Video, CPU
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 a series of
audible beeps. For example, if the BIOS POST can initialize the video but an
error occurs, an error message will be displayed. If it cannot display the
message, it will report the error as a series of beeps.
The most common type of error is a memory error.
Before contacting your vendor or TYAN Technical S upport, 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:
http://www.tyan.com/
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
directly with end users. In no event will TYAN be held responsible for d amages
done by the end user.

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
only at 66 MHz, it supports data transmission during both the rising and fall ing
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
CD-ROMs 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
results in greater speed.
BBS (BIOS Boot Specification): 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. 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,
which 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 to a disk
drive. While this improves system performance (reading to or writing from a disk
Page 64
http://www.tyan.com
64
drive a single time is much faster than doing so repeatedly) there is the
possibility of
losing your data should the system crash. Information in a buffer is temporarily
stored, not permanently saved.
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 s ystem
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 information is
stored in SRAM instead of slower DRAM. Note that the cache is also much
smaller than your regular memory: a typical cache size is 51 2KB, while you may
have as much as 4GB of regular memory.
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): a technology designed to double the clock spee d 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 doublin g 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 socket 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
Page 65
http://www.tyan.com
65
tasks. As with 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.
DRAM (Dynamic RAM): widely available, very affordable form of RAM which
looses 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, it 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
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.
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.
Global timer: onboard hardware timer, such as the Real-Time Clock (RTC).
HDD: stands for Hard Disk Drive, a type of fixed drive.
H-SYNC: controls the horizontal synchronization/properties of the monitor.
HyperTransport
TM
: a high speed, low latency, scalable point-to-point link for
interconnecting ICs on boards. It can be significantly faster than a PCI bus for
an equivalent number of pins. It provides the bandwidth and flexibility critical for
today's networking and computing platforms while retaining the fundamental
programming model of PCI.
IC (Integrated Circuit): the formal name for the computer chip.
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.
Page 66
http://www.tyan.com
66
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.)
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 o n IRQ lines can lock
up your system. Plug-n-Play operating systems can take care of these det ails
for you.
Latency: the amount of time that one part of a system spends waiting for
another part to catch up. This occurs most commonly when the system sends
data out to a peripheral device and has to wait for the peripheral to spread
(peripherals tend to be slower than onboard system components).
NVRAM: ROM and EEPROM are both examples of Non-Volatile RAM, memory
that holds its data without power. DRAM, in contrast, is volatile.
Parallel port: transmits the bits of a byte on eight different wires 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 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 fast secondary cache. It is used as a secondary cache
because SRAM is slower than SDRAM, but usually larger. Data is cached first
to the faster primary cache, and then, when the primary cache is full, to the
slower secondary cache.
PnP (Plug-n-Play): a design standard that has become ascendant in the
industry. Plug-n-Play devices require little set-up to use. Devices an d operating
Page 67
http://www.tyan.com
67
systems that are not Plug-n-Play require you to reconfigure your s ystem 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
with 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 t his metho d, the
data is stored redundantly and 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: RAID I/O Steering (Intel)
RAM (Random Access Memory): technically refers to a type of memory where
any byte can be accessed without touching the adjacent da ta and is often
referred 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.
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 board-embedded SCSI bus or a set of SCSI busses. SISL: SCSI
Interrupt Steering Logic ( LSI ) (only on LSI SCSI boards)
Page 68
http://www.tyan.com
68
Sleep/Suspend mode: in this mode, all devices except the CPU shut down.
SDRAM (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.
Standby mode: in this mode, the video and hard drives shut down; all other
devices continue to operate normally.
UltraDMA-33/66/100: a fast version of the old DMA channel. UltraDMA i s also
called UltraATA. Without a 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 dais y-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 Socket (Zero Insertion Force socket): these sockets make it possible to
insert CPUs without damaging the sensitive CPU pins. The CPU is lightl y
placed in an open ZIF socket, and a lever is pulled down. This shifts the
processor over and down, guiding it into the board and locking it into place.

Technical Support
If a problem arises with your system, you should turn to your deal er 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).
