Chapter 2: Board Installation

You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of the Toledo i3000R S5191 matches the ATX specification. Before continuing with installation, confirm that your chassis supports an ATX 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 precaut i ons you should take whe n 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 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.

2.4 - Tips on Installing Motherboard in Chassis

Before inst al l in g your motherb o ar d, ma ke s ure yo u r chassis has th e necessa ry mot h er board suppo r t stu ds i ns ta ll e d. The se stu d s a re u sua l ly 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.

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.

http://www.tyan.com

2.5 - Installing the Memory

Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard and processor. Only DDRII-533/667 DIMM modules are required. Check the TYAN Web site at: www.tyan.com memory recommended for your mothe rboard.

The following diagram shows common types of DDRII memory modules.

Key points to note before installing memory:

For optimal dua l-channel DDRI I operation, always install memory in pairs beginning with DDRII1 and DDRI I3. Memor y modules of the same type and density are required for dual-channel DDRII operation. Mismatched memory may cause s ystem instability.

• Only DDRII 533/667 un-buffered ECC/non-ECC memory modules are supported.

• All installed memory will automatically be detected and no jumpers or settings need changing.

Refer to the following table fo r supported D DRII populations.

(Note: X indicates a popu lat e d DIMM slot )

for deta ils of the type of

Population Option 1 2 DDRII1 x x DDRII2 x DDRII3 x x DDRII4 x

http://www.tyan.com

Memory Installation Procedure

http://www.tyan.com

2.7 - Attaching Drive Cables

Attaching IDE Drive Cable

Attaching the IDE drive cable is simple. These cables are “keyed” to only allow them to be connected in the correct manner. TYAN motherboards have two onboard IDE cha n ne ls , eac h sup p or tin g tw o dri v es . The black connector

designates the Primary channel, while the white connector designates the Secondary channel.

Attaching IDE cables to the IDE connectors is illustrated below:

Simply plug in the BLUE END of the IDE cable into the motherboard IDE connector, and th e other end(s) into the drive(s). Ea ch 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 Toledo i3000R is also equipped with 4 Serial ATA (SATA) channels. Connections for these drives are also very simple.

There is no need to set Master/Slave jumpers on SATA drives.

Tyan has supplied two SATA cables and one SATA power adapter. If you are in need of other cables or power adapters please contact your place of purchase.

http://www.tyan.com

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 ad apter

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 connecti on o f the cable.

Attach first floppy drive (drive A:) to the en d 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:).

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. This chapter describes different settings for the BIOS 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 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 NVRA M) that retains the information when the power is turned off. This motherboard’s BIOS is a customized version of the industry-standard BIOS for IBM PC AT-compatible personal computers. The BIOS provides critical, low-level support for the system’s central processing unit (CPU), memory, and I/O subsystems. This BIOS has been customized by adding important features such as virus and password protection, power management, and chipset “tuning” features that control the system. This section will guide you through the process of configuring the BIOS for your syst em setup.

Starting Setup

The BIOS is immediately activated when you turn on the computer. The BIOS reads system configuration in CMOS RAM and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it through the Power-On-Self-Test (POST). When these preliminary tests are complete, the BIOS searches for an operating system on one of the system’s data storage devices (hard drive, CD-ROM, etc). If one is found, the BIOS will launch that operating system and hand control over to it. You can enter the BIOS setup by pressing the [Delete] key when the machine boots up and begins to show the memory count.

Setup Basics The table below shows how to use the setup program with 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.

Getting Help

Pressing [F1] displays 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.

In Case of Problems

If you discover that you have trouble booting the computer after making and saving the changes with the BIOS setup program, 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 ad v i ce is to on l y al t e r s e tti ng s t h at you t h o ro ughly und e r st an d. In pa r t icu la r , do not change settings in the Chipset section unless you are sure of the outcome. TYAN or your system manufacturer has carefully chosen the chipset defaults for best performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small cha nge to the Chipset setup options may cause the system to become unstable or unusable.

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.

Multi-Sector Transfers

This option allows you to specify the number of sectors per block for multiple sector transfers. Options: Disabled / 2 Sectors / 4 Sectors / 8 Sectors / 16 Sectors

LBA Mode Control

Enables or disables LBA Mode. In LBA Mode, instead of referring to a cylinder, head and sector number, each sector is instead assigned a unique "sector number". In essence, the sectors are numbered 0, 1, 2, etc. up to (N-1), where N is the number of sectors on the disk. In order for LBA to work, it must be supported by the BIOS and operating system, but since it is also a new way of talking to the hard disk, the disk must support it as well. All newer hard disks do in fact support LBA, and when auto detected by a BIOS supporting LBA, will be set up to u se that mode. When LBA is turned on, the BIOS will enable geometry translation. This translation may be done in the same way that it is done in Extended CHS or large mode, or it

http://www.tyan.com

may be done using a different algorithm called LBA-assist translation. The translated geometry is still what is presented to the operating system for use in Int 13h calls. The difference between LBA and ECHS is that when using ECHS the BIOS translates the parameters used by these calls from the translated geometry to the drive's logical geometry. With LBA, it translates from the translated geometry directly into a logical block (sector) number. LBA has in recent years become the dominant form of hard disk addressing. Since the 8.4 GB limit of the Int13h interface was reached, it became impossible to express the geometry of large hard disks using cylinder, head and sector numbers, translated or not, while remaining below the Int13h limits of 1,024 cylinders, 256 heads and 63 sectors. Therefore, modern drives are no longer specified in terms of classical geometry, but rather in terms of their total number of user data sectors and addressed using LBA. Options: Disabled / Enabled

32 Bit I/O

Enables or disables 32 bit data transfer mode. Enabling this option causes the PCI hard disk interface controller to bundle together two 16-bit chunks of data from the drive into a 32-bit group, which is then transmitted to the processor or memory. This results in a small performance increase. Options: Enabled / Disabled

Transfer Mode

These modes determine the speed at which data is transferred to and from the drive. The Auto option automatically determines the correct transfer rates. Options: Auto / Sta n dard / Fast PIO 1 / Fast PIO 2 / Fast PIO 3 / Fast PIO 4 / FPIO 3 / DMA 1 / FPIO 4 / DMA 2

Ultra DMA Mode

Enables or disables Ultra DMA Mode. Ultra DMA (UDMA, or, more accurately, Ultra DMA/33) is a protocol for transferring data between a hard disk drive through the computer's data paths (or bus) to the computer's random access memory (RAM). The Ultra DMA/33 protocol transfers data in burst mode at a rate of 33.3 MBps (megabytes per second), twice as fast as the previous Direct Memory Acc ess (DMA) in terface. Ultra DMA support in your computer means that it will boot (start) and open new applications more quickly. It will also help users of graphics-intensive and other applications that require large amounts of access to data on the hard drive. Ultra DMA uses Cyclical Redundancy Checking (CRC), offering a new level of data protection. Because the Ultra DMA protocol is designed to work with legacy application PIO and DMA protocols, it can be added to many existing computers by installing an Ultra DMA/33 Peripheral Component Interconnect adapter card. Ultra DMA uses the same 40-pin Inte grated Drive Electro n ic s interface cable as PIO and DMA. Options: Disabled / Mode 0 / Mode 1 / Mode 2 / Mode 5

Cache System BIOS Area

This feature is only available when the system BIOS is shadowed. It enables or disables the caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh via the L2 cache. This greatly speeds up accesses to the system BIOS. However, this does not necessarily make the system perform better because the OS does not need to access the system BIOS often. As such, it would be a waste of L2 cache bandwidth to cache the system BIOS instead of data that are more critical to the s ystem's performance. In addition, if any program writes into this memory area, it will result in a system crash. So, it is recommended that you write protect this area for optimal system performance. Options: NULL / Write Protect

Cache Video BIOS Area

This feature is only valid when the video BIOS is shadowed. It enables or disables the caching of the video BIOS ROM at C0000h-C7FFFh via the L2 cache. This greatly speeds up accesses to the video BIOS. However, this does not necessarily make the system perform better because the OS bypasses the BIOS an d uses the graphics driver to access the video card's hardware directly. As such, it would be a waste of L2 cache bandwidth to cache the video BIOS instead of data that are more critical to the s ystem's performance.

Reset Configuration Data

If you install a new piece of hardware or modify your computer's hardware configuration, the BIOS will automatically detect the changes and reconfigure the ESCD (Extended SystemConfiguration Data). Therefore, there is usually no need to manually force the BIOS to reconfigure the ESCD. However, sometimes, the BIOS may not be able to detect the hardware changes. A serious resource conflict may occur and the operating system may not even boot as a result. This is where the Reset Configuration Data BIOS feature comes in. This BIOS feature allows you to manually force the BIOS to clear the previously saved ESCD data and reconfigure the settings. All you need to do is enable this BIOS feature and then reboot your computer. The new ESCD should resolv e the conflict and allow the operating system to load normally. Please note that the BIOS will automatically reset it to the default setting of No after reconf iguring the new ESCD.

Hyper-Threading Technology is a form of simultaneous multi-threading technology (SMT) where multiple threads of software applications can be run simultaneously on one processor. This is achieved by duplicating the architectural state on each processor, while sharing one set of processor execution resources. Hyper-Threading Technology also delivers faster response times for multi-tasking workload environments.

Mode

This field allows the user to select the parallel port mode. The default value is Standard that automatically selects the correct mode to use. The other modes are explained as follows: SPP works with all parallel port devices. However, it is the slowest transfer mode and should only be used when faster transfer modes cannot be used. There are two faster bidirectional modes available - the ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) and EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) modes.

http://www.tyan.com

For those who don't know what mode to select but at least know that their parallel port device supports bidirectional transfers, the BIOS offers the ECP+EPP mode. If you select this mode, then the parallel port device will be able to use either one of those modes. However, this should be considered as a last resort as you may be needlessly tying up an IRQ if your device does not use ECP at all. Or the BIOS may not select the best parallel port mode for the device. If possible, set the parallel port to the transfer mode that best suits your parallel port device. However, the manufacturer of your parallel port peripheral may have designated a preferred parallel port mode for the device in question. In that case, it's best to follow their recommendation.

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 prob lem 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 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:

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.

Appendix I: SMDC Information

Overview

Tyan Server Management Daughter Card (SMDC) is a powerful yet costefficient solution for high-end server management hardware packages. Tyan’s goal is to provide remote system monitoring and control even when the operating system is absence or simply fails. This empowers Tyan’s server board with advanced industrial-standard features.

Tyan SMDC is a snap-in card that provides essential server management solution. It enables any IT Manager by providing multi-interfaces to access the hardware remotely and perform monitor, control and diagnose activities effectively.

Tyan SMDC is not a peripheral card. Unlike regular peripheral card such as AGP card, Network card or SCSI card, SMDC does not require any hardware specific driver. As long as a standby power comes into the system, SMDC will begin looking after the system.

Tyan SMDC provides diversified methods to communicate with the hardware. IT manager has the flexibility to choose among Keyboard Con troller Style (K CS ), Block Transfer (BT) style, Intelligent Chassis Management Bus (ICMB), Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB), Emergency Management Port (EMP) and standard IPMI-Over-LAN communication as defined in latest IPMI

1.5 specification. Tyan SMDC is compatible with all IPMI-compliance software as well as Tyan

System Operator By adding SMDC, Tyan’s server board becomes a highly manageable and IPMI

compatible system with all the advanced features suggesting in IPMI Spec. More detailed information on Tyan’s SMDC card can be found on our website:

Glossary

ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interf ac e) : a power management

specification that allows the operating system to control the amount of power distributed to the computer ’s devices. Devi ces 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 at only 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 P acket Interface): als o 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, then, also results in greater speed.

BBS (BIOS Boot Specification): is a feature within the BIOS that creates, prioritizes, and maintains a list of all In itial 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 for some reason. A t 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, and 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, all at once, 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 also the possibility of losing your data should the system crash. Information stored in a buffer is temporarily stored, not permanently saved.

http://www.tyan.com

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 chan nels).

Cache: a temporary storage area for data that will be needed often by an application. Using a cache lowers data access times, since the needed information is stored in the SRAM instead of in the slow 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.

Cache size: refers to the physical size of the cache onboard. This should not be confused with the cacheable area, which is the total amount of memory which can be scanned by the system in search of data to put into the cache. A typical setup would be a cache size of 512KB, and a cacheable area of 512MB. In this case, up to 512KB of the main memory onboard is capable of being cached. However, only 512KB of this memory will be in the cache at any given moment. Any main memory above 512MB could never be cached.

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 par allel form, eight bits at the same time).

DDR (Double Data Rate): is 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: so metime s call ed DIMM sockets, 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

http://www.tyan.com

tasks. As with IRQs, it is vital that you do not double up devices on a single line. Plug-n-Play devices will tak e care of this for you.

Doze mode: in this mode, on ly the CPU’s sp eed is slowed. DRAM (Dynamic RAM ) : widely av ailab le, ver y affordable form of RAM which has the unfortunate tendency to lose 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 fo r erro rs during run-time. Error s can sub sequen t ly be corrected at the same time that they’re found.

EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM): also called F lash BIOS, 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

EMRL: Embedded RAID Logic. An Adaptec specific RAID technology. 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.

Fault-tolerance: a term describing a system where one component can quickly be replaced without causing a loss of service, such as in a RAID system.

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, although TYAN also makes some Baby-AT and ATX Footprint boards.

Global timer: onboard hardware time r, such as the Real-Tim e Clock (RTC). Handshaking: a process where two devi ces initiate communications. One

device, typically the server, sends a message to another device, typically a client, in order to request establishment of a communications channel. The two devices will then exchange messages back and forth in order to settle on a communications protocol.

HDD: stands for Hard Disk Drive, a type of fixed drive. H-SYNC: controls the hori z ontal synchronization/prop erties of the monit or. IC (Integrated Circuit): the formal name for the computer chip.

http://www.tyan.com

IDE (Integrated De vic e / 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 Inte rrupt): a hardware interrupt signal that goes to the IDE. I/O (Input/Output): the conn ection between your com puter an d another piece

of hardw are (mouse, keyboard, etc.) Initial Program Load (IPL): a feature built into BBS-compliant devices,

describing those devices as capable of loading and executing an OS, as well as being able to provide control back to the BIOS if the loading attem p t fails.

IPL: see Initial Program Load. IRQ (Interrupt Request): an electronic r equest tha t 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-n-Play operating systems can take care of these details for you.

ISA (Industry Standard Architecture): a slower 8- or 16-bit bus (data pathway).

Latency: the amount of time that one part of a system spends waiting for another part to catch up. This is most common when the system sends data out to a peripheral device, and it waiting for the peripheral to send some data back (peripherals tend to be slower than onboard system components).

Mirroring: see RAID. NVRAM: ROM and EEPROM are both examples of Non-Volatile RAM, memory

that holds its data without power. DRAM, in contrast, is volatile. OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers): Compaq or IBM package other

companies’ motherboards and hardware inside their case and sell them. Parallel port: transmits the bits of a byte on eight different wires at the same

time (that is, in parallel form, eight bits 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 type of RAM that can maintain it’s data as long as power is provided to the memory chips. In this configuration, SRAM requests are pipelined, which means that larger packets of data are sent to the memory at one time, and acted upon quickly. This type of SRAM operates at bus speeds higher than 66MHz.

Pipelining: improves system performance by allowing the CPU to begin executing a second instruction before the first is completed. A pipeline can be likened to an assembly line, with a given part of the pipeline repeatedly executing a set part of an operation on a series of instructions.

PM timers (Power Manageme n t timers): software timers that c ount down the number of seconds or minutes until the system times out and enters sleep, suspend, or doze mode .

PnP (Plug-n-Play): a design standard that has become ascendant in the industry. Plug-n-Play devices require little set-up to use. Novice end users can simply plug them into a computer that is running on a Plug-n-Play aware operating system (such as Windows 98), and go to work. 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 Man agement 2.0 baselin e specification. PXE was designed to define a standard set of preboot protocol services within a client, towards 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 this method, the data is stored redundantly, also the 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: stands for RAID I/O Steering, a type of RAID technology from Intel. RAIDIOS is a specifi c ation used to enable an embedde d I/O controller, embedded on the motherboard, to be used as just an I/O controller or to be the I/O component of a hardware RAID s u bsystem. The RAIDIOS circuit allows an I/O Processor (either embedded on the motherboard or on an add-in card) to configure the I/O controller and service the I/O controller’s interrupts. The I/O controller and the I/O Processor together are two of the primary components of a hardware RAID subsystem.

RAM (Random Access Memory): technically refers to a type of memory where any byte can be accessed without touching the adjacent data, is often used to refer to the system’s main memory. This me mory is ava i l able to any program runni ng 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.

SATA (Serial ATA): is an evolutionary replacement for the Parallel ATA physical storage interface. Serial ATA is a drop-in solution in that it is compatible with today’s software and operating systems. It will provide for systems which are easier to design, with cables that are simpler to route and install, smaller cable connectors, and lower voltage requirements.

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)

SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module): formally the mo st c omm on form o f RAM for motherboards. They must be installed in pairs, and do not have the carrying capacity or the speed of DIMM modules.

Sleep/Suspend mode: in this mode, all devices except the CPU shut down. SRAM (Sta tic 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.

SSI (Server System Infrastructure): an industry initiative intended to provide ready-to-use design specifications for commo n server hardware elem ents (chassis, power supplies, and racks) to promote and support server industry growth.

Standby mode: in this mode, the video and hard drives shut down; all other devices continue to operate normally.

Striping: see RAID UltraDMA-33/66/100: a fast version of the old DMA channel. UltraDMA is also

called UltraATA. Without 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 sol u tion 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 shift the processor over and down, guiding into the board and locking it into place.
