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 antist ati c

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

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 S7055 are listed in the 1.2 Hardware
Specifications section on page 5. Check our website at http://www.tyan.com

for

the latest list of validated Intel

®

processors for this specific motherboard.

NOTE: MiTAC is not liable for damage as a result of operating an

unsupported configuration.

Processor Installation (Socket R for Intel Sandy Bridge CPU)

Follow the steps described later to install the processors and heat sinks.
The following pictures illustrate how to install the Intel

®

Sandy Bridge processor on
the Socket R. Please note that the motherboard may not look e xactly like the one
you purchased. Therefore, the illustrations should be held for your reference only.

NOTE: Please save and replace the CPU protection cap when returni ng for service.

1. Locate the CPU socket.

2. Pull the CPU lever slightly away from the socket and then push it to a fully open

position.

3. Lift the socket cover to a fully open position.

http://www.tyan.com

36

4. Take off the CPU protection cap.

5. Place the CPU in the CPU socket and make sure that the gold arrow is located

in the right direction with two notches properly aligned.

6. Close th e socket cover and press the CPU socket lever down to lock the CPU

in place.

7. The CPU installation is no w complete.

http://www.tyan.com

37

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

®

Sandy

Bridge Socket R:

1. Place the heat sink on top of the CPU and se cure it to the motherboard with 4

screws.

2. Connect the fan power cord.

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.

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 a re gold in
color. Usually, the chassis manufacturer will pre-install the support studs. If you ar e
unsure of stud placement, simply lay the motherb oard 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 b e
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 an d
how they should be installed.

http://www.tyan.com

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

for

details of the type of memory recommended for your motherboard.

 The Sandy Bridge-EP/EX processor is a quad-channel design with a total of 4

DDR3 channels

 This platform supports Unbuffered DDR3, Registered DDR3, and LR DIMM

(Load Reduced DIMM) DDR3 for buffered memory solutions demanding
higher capacity memory subsystems.

 DDR3 data transfer rates of 1066, 1333, and 1600 MT/s are supported
 Each memory channel is 72 or 64 bits wide for ECC or Non-ECC
 Both 1.5V and 1.35V DDR3 DIMMs are supported
 Gb, 2-Gb, and 4-Gb DDR3 DRAM technologies are supported for these

devices:
— UDIMMs x8, x16
— RDIMMs x4, x8
— LRDIMM x4, x8

 Up to 8 ranks are supported per memory channel. DIMMS may be 1, 2 or 4

ranks per module.

 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.

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 x8 slot (x8 link)

PCI-E Gen3 x16 slot (x16 link)

PCI-E Gen2 x8 slot (x4 link)

PCI 32-bit/33MHz 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.

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 motherb oard before

performing system hardware changes to avoid damaging the board or expansion
device.

2.11 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:

1. When i350 LAN chip is on, LAN1 and LAN2 can support 10Mbps~1Gbps.

2. When X540 LAN chip is on, LAN1 and LAN2 can support up to 100Mbps~10Gbps.

3. Peripheral devices can be plugged straight into any of these ports but software
may be required to complete the installation.

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. T his chapter d escribes
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 configuratio ns 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 po wer
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.

Key Function

Left/Right Arrow Keys Change from one menu to the next
Up/Down Arrow Keys Move between selections
Enter Open highlighted section
PgUp/PgDn Keys Change pages
+/- Change options
ESC Exit

http://www.tyan.com

54

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 thoroughl y understan d. In particu lar,
do not change settings in the Chipset section unless you are absolute ly sure of
what you are doing. The Chipset defaults have bee n 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 dep ends 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. T he 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.
