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, 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 S7066 are listed in the 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 exactly 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 returning 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.
Page 29
http://www.tyan.com
29
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 the socket cover and press the CPU socket lever down to lock the CPU
in place.
7. The CPU installation is now complete.
Page 30
http://www.tyan.com
30
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 secure it to the motherboard with 4
screws.
2. Connect the fan power cord.
Page 31
http://www.tyan.com
31
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 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.
Page 33
http://www.tyan.com
33
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.

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.
z The Sandy Bridge-EP/EX processor is a quad-channel design with a
total of 4 DDR3 channels
z This platform supports Unbuffered DDR3, Registered DDR3, and LR
DIMM (Load Reduced DIMM) DDR3 for buffered memory solutions
demanding higher capacity memory subsystems.
z DDR3 data transfer rates of 800, 1066, 1333, and 1600 MT/s are
supported
z Each memory channel is 72 or 64 bits wide for ECC or Non-ECC
z Both 1.5V and 1.35V DDR3 DIMMs are supported
z Gb, 2-Gb, and 4-Gb DDR3 DRAM technologies are supported for
these devices:
— UDIMMs x8, x16
— RDIMMs x4, x8
— LRDIMM x4, x8
z Up to 8 ranks are supported per memory channel. DIMMS may be 1,
2 or 4 ranks per module.
z All installed memory will automatically be detected. No jumpers or
settings need to be changed for memory detection.
z 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 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.
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.
Page 42

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. 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 three onboard Ethernet ports have green and yellow LEDs to indicate LAN
status. The chart below illustrates the different LED states.

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.
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 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 <F2> or <Del> during POST (<Tab> 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 aware that
the BIOS menus are continually changing due to continual BIOS updates over the
product lifespan of the motherboard. The BIOS menus provided are current as of
the date when this manual was written. Please visit TYAN’s website at
http://www.tyan.com
for information on BIOS updates available for this specific
motherboard.

3.3.11.1 Console Redirection Settings
Terminal Type
Emulation: ANSI: Extended ASCII charset.
VT100: ASCII charset.
VT100+: Extends VT100 to support color function keys, etc.
VT-UTF8: Uses UTF8 encoding to map Unicode chars onto 1 or more bytes.
[VT100] / [VT100+] / [VT-UTF8] / [ANSI]
Default is [VT100+]
VT-UTF8 / VT100 / VT100+ / ANSI
Bits per Second
Select serial port transmission speed. The speed must be matched on the other
side. Long or noisy lines may require lower speeds.
38400 / 9600 / 19200 / 115200 / 57600
Data Bits
8 / 7
Parity
A parity bit can be sent with the data bits to detect some transmission errors. Even:
parity bit is 0 if the num of 1’s in the data bits is even. Odd: parity bit is 0 if the num
Page 70
http://www.tyan.com
70
of 1’s in the data bits is odd. Mark: parity bit is always 1. Space: parity bit is always
0. Mark and Space parity do not allow for error detection.
None / Even / Odd / Mark / Space
Stop Bits
Stop bits indicate the end of a serial data packet. (A start bit indicates the
beginning). The standard setting is 1 stop bit. Communication with slow devices
may require more than 1 stop bit.
1 / 2
Flow Control
Flow Control can prevent data loss from buffer overflow. When sending data, if the
receiving buffers are full, a ‘stop’ signal can be sent to stop the data flow. Once the
buffers are empty, a ‘start’ signal can be sent to restart the flow. Hardware flow
control uses two wires to send start/stop signal.
None / Hardware RTS/CTS
