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 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, 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.

2.4 Installing the Processor and Heat sink

The S8226 supported AMD® processors are listed in section 1.2 Hardware
Specifications on page 4. Check our website at http://www.tyan.com

for latest

processor support.

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

unsupported configuration.

Processor Installation (C32 1207-pin Socket for AMD CPU)

Follow the steps below to install the processors and heat sinks.
Please note that the illustrations are based on a C32 1207-pin Socket which may
not look exactly like the motherboard you purchased. Therefore, the illustrations
should be held for your reference only.

NOTE: If only one processor is installed, start with CPU0 first.

1. Locate the CPU socket.

2. Take off the protection cap.

http://www.tyan.com

22

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

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

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.

http://www.tyan.com

23

6. Close the socket cover and press the CPU socket lever down to lock the CPU
in place.

7. Repeat the same procedures to install the second CPU.

Heat sink Installation

After installing the processor, you should 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. The overheated processor is
dangerous to the motherboard.

For the safest method of installation and information on choosing the appropriate
heat sink, using heat sinks validated by AMD

http://www.amd.com

®

. Please refer to the AMD® website:

The following diagram illustrates how to install the heat sink onto the CPU of S8226.

8. Place the heat sink on top of the CPU and secure it to the motherboard with 2
screws.

9. Connect the heat sink fan cable if necessary (CPU0 Fan: J34).

10. Repeat the same procedures to install the second heat sink (CPU1 Fan: J30).

http://www.tyan.com

24

2.5 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

25

2.6 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.

http://www.tyan.com

26

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

27

2.7 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 following diagram shows common types of DDR3 memory modules.

for

Supports U-DIMM, R-DIMM and Low Voltage (LV) R-DIMM DDR3, at



800,1066 or 1333MHz speeds

 All installed memory will automatically be detected and no jumpers or settings

need changing

 All memory must be of the same type and density

2.9 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 Gen. 2 x16 slots (PCIE_1 & PCIE_2)

NOTE: The PCIE_1 slot is designed to fit both add-on PCI-E card and riser card

(M2091). However, The PCIE_2 slot is designed for riser card only (M2091-R).
Therefore, you can not insert an add-on PCI-E card directly in the PCIE_2 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 to the motherboard before

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

2.10 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: Please be aware that ATX 2.x, ATX12V and ATXGES power

supplies may not

be compatible with the board and can damage the

motherboard and/or CPU(s).

Applying power to the board:

 Connect the EPS12V 8-pin power connectors. Both PW2 and PW3 are for

CPU loading.

 Connect the EPS/12V 24-pin power connector.
 Connect power cable to power supply and power outlet.

NOTE: You must unplug the power supply before plugging the power

cables to motherboard connectors.

2.12 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 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 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> during POST (F4 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

Tab Moves from one selection to the next

Left/Right Arrow Keys Changes from one menu to the next

Up/Down Arrow Keys Moves between selections

Enter Opens highlighted section

PgUp/PgDn Keys Changes settings.

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 [F1] 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.

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 two kinds of
audible beeps.
 A single long beep followed by eight short beeps: It indicates that a video

error has occurred.

 A single long beep repeatedly: It 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 at 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 damages 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 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 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 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.

89

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 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 512KB, 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 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 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 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.

90

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

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.

IDE INT (IDE Interrupt): Hardware interrupt signal that goes to the IDE.

http://www.tyan.com

91

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 on IRQ lines can lock up your system. Plug-n­Play operating systems can take care of these details 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 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 with
the goal of allowing networked-based booting to boot using industry standard
protocols.

92

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 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 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 data 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 board­embedded SCSI bus or a set of SCSI busses. SISL: SCSI Interrupt Steering Logic
(LSI) (only on LSI SCSI boards)

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.

SLI (Scalable Link Interface): NVIDIA SLI
together to provide scalability and increased performance. NVIDIA SLI takes
advantage of the increased
features

Depending on the application, NVIDIA SLI can deliver as much as two times the
performance of a single GPU configuration.

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 is 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 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 Socket (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 shifts the processor over and
down, guiding it into the board and locking it into place.
