Chapter 2: Board Installation
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, donot 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.

2.5 Installing the Processor and Heatsink
The types of processors supported by the S5532 are listed in the 1.2 Hardware
Specification section on page 5. Check our website at http://www.tyan.com
the latest list of validated Intel
®
processors for this specific motherboard.
for
NOTE: MiTAC is not liable for damage as a result of operating an
unsupported configuration.
Processor Installation (Socket H3 for Intel CPU)
Follow the steps described later to install the processors and heat sinks.
NOTE: Please save and replace the CPU protection cap when returning for service.
1. Open the socket lever.
2. Open the CPU socket cover.
http://www.tyan.com
35
3. Remove the CPU protection cap.
4. Install the processor and make sure the gold arrow is located in the right
direction.
5. Close the CPU socket cover.
6. Close the socket lever.
36
http://www.tyan.com
Heat sink Installation
After installing the processor, you will need to proceed to install the heat sink. The
CPU heat sink will ensure that the processor do not overheat and continue to
operate at maximum performance for as long as you own them. An overheated
processor is dangerous to the motherboard. The processors will overheat within
seconds, enter thermal protection, and shut down if heatsinks are not installed.
For the safest method of installation and information on choosing the appropriate
heat sink, using heat sinks validated by Intel®. Please refer to the Intel® website:
http://www.intel.com
The following diagram illustrates how to install the heatsink on the Intel
®
H3 Socket:
1. Apply the thermal grease.
2. Install the CPU heatsink.
http://www.tyan.com
37
3. Secure the heatsink screws.
4. Connect the heatsink fan cable.
http://www.tyan.com
38
2.6 Thermal Interface Material
There are two types of
thermal interface materials
designed for use with the
processors.
The most common material
comes as a small pad
attached to the heat sink 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 heat
sink 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 heat sink & processor to
ensure that the thermal interface material is compatible with the processor
and meets the manufacturer’s warranty requirements.
http://www.tyan.com

2.7 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.
http://www.tyan.com
40
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.
http://www.tyan.com
41
2.8 Installing the Memory
Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the
motherboard and processor. Check the TYAN Web site at http://www.tyan.com
details of the type of memory recommended for your motherboard.
The Intel
DIMM slots.
This platform supports Unbuffered ECC DDR3, up to 32GB.
DDR3 data transfer rates of 1066, 1333, and 1600 MT/s are supported.
Both 1.5V and 1.35V DDR3 DIMMs are supported
All installed memory will automatically be detected. No jumpers or settings
need to be changed for memory detection.
All memory must be of the same type and density. Registered, Unbuffered,
and LRDIMM memory types can NOT be mixed and matched on the
same motherboard.
®
Xeon E3-1200 v3, i3 (22nm/Haswell) series processor supports 4
2. Use paired memory installation for max performance.
3. Populate the same DIMM type in each channel, specifically
- Use the same DIMM size
- Use the same # of ranks per DIMM
4. Dual-rank DIMMs are recommended over single-rank DIMMs.
5. Un-buffered DIMM can offer slightly better performance than registered
DIMM if populating only a single DIMM per channel.

2.10 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 slots that may appear on your motherboard.
PCI-E Gen3 x16 slot (x8 link)
PCI-E Gen2 x8 slot (x1 link)
PCI-E Gen2 x4 slot (x1 link)
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.
TIP: It’s a good practice to install add-in cards in a staggered manner rather than
making them directly adjacent to each other. Doing so allows air to circulate within
the chassis more easily, thus improving cooling for all installed devices.
NOTE: You must always unplug the power connector from the motherboard before
performing system hardware changes to avoid damaging the board or expansion
device.

2.13 Finishing Up
Congratulations on making it this far! You have 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 SATA cables and most importantly,
jumpers. You may have difficulty powering on your system if the motherboard
jumpers are not set correctly.

Chapter 3: BIOS Setup
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, batterybacked 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.
3.1.1 Setup Basics
The table below shows how to navigate in the setup program using the keyboard.

3.1.2 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.
3.1.3 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.
3.1.4 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.
