Chapter 2: Board Installation
Installation
You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting holes pattern of the Tomcat
i7210 S5112 matches the ATX specification. Before continuing with installation, confirm that
your chassis supports a standard ATX motherboard.
How to install our products right…. the first time!
The first thing you should do 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, 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 – Mounting the Motherboard
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’re 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.
- Memory Type: The Tomcat i7210 S5112 supports unbuffered ECC and non-ECC type
Below is a chart detailing what the most common motherboard studs look like and how they
should be installed it.
memory modules. Registered Memory is NOT supported.
TIP: Use metal studs if possible, as they hold the motherboard into place more securely than
plastic standoffs.

Tomcat i7210 S5112 Chapter 2: Board Installation
2.5 – Installing the Memory
Before attempting to install any memory, make sure that the memory you have is compatible
with the motherboard as well as the processor. For example, while PC1600 DDR modules are
compatible with all DDR based motherboards, they will not work if you are required to run the
motherboard and processor buses at 133MHz. For this, PC2100 DDR modules are required.
Critically important is whether you’re using the recommended memory for the current board
you have. For this information, please check TYAN’s web site at: www.tyan.com
The following diagram shows the types of RAM modules you may encounter depending on
your board:
DDR Unbuffered
DDR Unbuffered ECC
Here are a few key points to note before installing memory into your Tomcat i7210 S5112:
• 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB unbuffered ECC and non-ECC
PC2100/PC2700/PC3200
DDR memory modules are supported
• All installed memory will be automatically detected - no need to set any jumpers
• The Tomcat i7210 S5112 supports up to 4GB of memory
• Registered Memory is NOT supported.
• You can install either single- or double-sided modules on this board. Each DIMM
can work respectively for single-channel mode and dual-channel mode. Please note
that the same type and density memory modules are necessary while using dualchannel DDR, otherwise it may cause system instability.
Please refer to the following table for detailed dual-channel DDR.

• Supported System Bus Frequency and Memory Speed Combinations
To use this type of DIMM… The processor’s system bus frequency must be…
DDR400 800MHz
DDR333 *800MHz or 533MHz
*When using an 800MHz system bus frequency processor, DDR333 memory is clocked at 320MHz.
This minimizes system latencies to optimize system throughput.
NOTE:
While using ECC type memory, it will take longer time to post. Due to the manner in which it
counts the memory and has to write zero’s to every bit of the DDR module before progressing
through the POST.
2.6 – Memory Installation Procedure
When installing memory modules, make sure the modules align properly with the memory
socket. There should be keys (small indents) on your memory modules that fit according to the
keys in the memory socket. DDR modules and sockets have only one key, which is slightly
near the center of the module/socket. The method of installing memory modules is detailed in
the following diagrams.
Once the memory modules are firmly seated in the socket, two clamps on either side will close
and secure the module into the socket. Sometimes you may need to close the clamps
manually.
To remove the memory module, simply push the clamps outwards until the memory module
pops up. Then simply remove the module.
TIP: When installing memory, a module may require a considerable amount of force to seat
properly, although this is very rare. To avoid bending and damaging your motherboard, place
it on its anti-static bag and onto a flat surface, and then proceed with memory installation.
Note: You MUST unplug the power connector to the motherboard before performing system
hardware changes, to avoid damaging the board or expansion device

2.7 – Installing the Processor and Heatsink
Your Tomcat i7210 S5112 supports the latest processor technologies from Intel. Check the
following page on TYAN’s website for latest processor support:
http://www.tyan.com
The following diagrams will detail how to install your processor:
The diagram is provided as a visual guide to help you install socket processors and may not
be an exact representation of the processors you have.
1. Lift the lever on the socket until it is approximately 90
possible to the socket.
2. Align the processor with the socket. There are keyed pins underneath the processor
to ensure that the processor’s installed correctly.
3. Seat the processor firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until the processor
sits flush with the socket.
4. Place the socket lever back down until it locks into place.
5. Your processor is installed.
Take care when installing the processor as it h as very fragile connector pins below the
processor that can bend and break if inserted improperly.
Heatsink Installation
After you are done installing the processor, you should proceed to installing the heatsink.
Heatsink will ensure that the processor not overheat and continue to operate at maximum
performance for as long as you own them. An overheated processor is dangerous to the
health of the motherboard.
Because there are many different types of heatsinks available from many different
manufacturers, a lot of them have their own method of installation. For the safest method of
installation and information on choosing the appropriate heatsink, please refer to INTEL’s
website at www.Intel.com.

http://www.tyan.com
Tomcat i7210 S5112 Chapter 2: Board Installation
Heatsink Installation
After you are done installing the processor, you should proceed to installing the heatsink. The
heatsink will ensure that the processor does not overheat, and will continue to operate at
maximum performance. An overheated processor is also dangerous to the long-term reliability
of the motherboard.
The following diagram will illustrate how to install the most common heatsinks:
Install the mounting bracket onto the motherboard by
aligning the bracket with the four holes around the
processor socket. Once the bracket is aligned, press
down on the four white pegs on the bracket until they
insert securely, locking the bracket onto the
motherboard. Then proceed to installing the heatsink.
Instructions on how to install heatsinks should be
provided with the heatsink itself.
First, use thermal compound (also
called heatsink compound or thermal
grease) and apply a small amount on
to the processor’s core – the small
shiny square in the center of the
processor.
You may then use a small soft plastic
tool, like a credit card to gently smear a
thin layer of heatsink compound as
evenly as you can across the core. In
most cases, you don’t need to do this
but it may help.
Then, at an angle, clip one side of the
heatsink onto the socket and then lay
the heatsink flat onto the processor.
Then clip the other end of the heatsink
down either with your finger or by using
a flathead screwdriver.
Some heatsinks have a small clip on
the inside of one of the clips which you
can insert a small flathead screw driver
into to secure the heatsink.
In most cases, either side of the
heatsink can be clipped down last, but
usually, the side of the socket where it
is raised, secures last.
Because one side of the socket is
raised (and usually has “SOCKET”
imprinted into it) heatsinks have an
indent on one side to secure flush with
the raised side of the socket.
Be sure to carefully observe which side
your heatsink is seated before securing
it down to avoid damaging the
processor, the heatsink or both.

Tomcat i7210 S5112 Chapter 2: Board Installation
Finishing Installing the Heatsink
After you finish installing the heatsink onto the processor and socket, attach the end wire of
the fan (which should already be attached to the heatsink) to the motherboard. The following
diagram illustrates how to connect fans onto the motherboard.
After you’re finished installing all the fans you can connect your drives (hard drives, CD-ROM
drives, etc.) to your motherboard.
2.8 – Attaching Drive Cables
Attaching IDE drive cabling is simple. These cables are “keyed” to only allow them to be
connected in the correct manner. TYAN motherboards have two on-board IDE channels, each
supporting two drives. 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 the
other end(s) into the drive(s). Each 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.
TIP: Pin 1 on the IDE cable (usually designated by a colored wire) faces the drive’s power
connector.

Serial ATA
Attaching Serial ATA cables to the Serial ATA connectors is illustrated below:
Serial ATA Hard drive
Serial A TA Cable
Serial A TA Connector
Serial A T A Cable
Power Cable
Simply plug in the BLACK END of the Serial ATA cable into the motherboard Serial ATA
connector, and the other end(s) into the drive(s). Each standard Serial ATA cable has two
connectors. Both BLACK ENDS of the Serial ATA cable are the same that are used to connect
to drives or motherboard.
Floppy Drives
Attaching a floppy drive can be done in a similar manner to an IDE drive. See the diagram
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 proper connection of the cable.
The first floppy drive (commonly denoted
as A:) is usually attached to the end of
the cable with the twist in it. Drive B: is
usually connected to the second or third
connector in the cable (the second or
third connector after you install Drive A:).
Refer to your floppy drive’s installation
instructions (if available), or contact your
dealer if you are unsure about how to
attach the floppy drive(s). Remember,
you can only have 2 floppy drives
connected at any given time.

Below are some symptoms of incorrectly installed floppy drives. While they are minor and
installing them incorrectly doesn’t cause severe problems, it may cause your system to freeze
or crash when trying to read and/or write to diskettes.
Drive is not automatically detected
Drive Fail message at bootup
Drive does not power on
Drive activity light is constantly on
Symptoms of incorrectly installed floppy drives
Usually caused by faulty cables, cables put in
backwards or a bad floppy drive or motherboard.
Try another floppy drive to verify the problem if
the cable is properly installed or try replacing the
actual cable. Also check to see if the onboard
floppy controller is enabled in the BIOS setup.
The cable, floppy drive or motherboard may be
faulty. Try another drive or cable to verify.
Check power cable and cabling. Maybe a bad
power supply or drive cable problem.
Usually signifies that the cable on the drive is on
backwards, which is a common issue. Reverse
the cable at the floppy drive end and try again.
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 most common
slots that may appear on your motherboard. Not all of the slots shown will necessarily appear
on your motherboard, however, there will be combinations of what you see here.
Simply find the appropriate slot for your add-in card and insert the card firmly. Do not force any
add-in cards (or anything else) into any slots if they won’t seat in place. It’s better to try
another slot or return the faulty card rather than damaging both the motherboard and the addin card.
TIP: It’s a good practice to install add-in cards in a staggered manner, rather than directly
adjacent to each other. This allows air to more easily circulate within the chassis, providing
improved cooling for all installed devices.
Note: YOU MUST 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 standard devices you
should expect to plug into the motherboard are keyboards, mouse, and printer cables. The
following diagram will detail the ATX port stack for the following board:
Tomcat i7210 S5112
Besides being used primarily to connect printers, the Printer Port is also used for devices such
as Zip drive, some external CD-RW drives and or other external devices. More on the
uncommon side these days are the Serial Ports. They were primarily used to connect external
modems, but most modems today are using USB or are installed internally.
TIP: While the ports have been created to accept connectors in only one direction, make sure
to be careful when inserting connectors. At times, attaching connectors in the incorrect
orientation can damage, bend and or break the pins.

Tomcat i7210 S5112 Chapter 2: Board Installation
2.11 – Installing the Power Supply
There are two power connectors on this motherboard. By default, this motherboard requires
that you have an ATX12V power supply that has the standard ATX-style 20-pin connector, as
well as an additional 4-pin square connector. The CPU power is provided by the onboard
switching voltage regulator, which is sourced by +12V power. This +12V CPU power source is
from the onboard 4-pin square connector. The +12V power on the 20-pin ATX power
connector is for system board and separated from CPU +12V regulator power source.
Therefore, the CPU will not be powered if you do not connect the 4-pin square ATX 12V power
connector.
PW1: 20-pin main power connector
PW2: 4-pin +12V power connector
NOTE
YOU MUST unplug the power supply before plugging in the 20-pin and 4-pin
power cables to motherboard connectors.
2.12 – Finishing Up
Congratulations on making it this far! You’re 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.

Tomcat i7210 S5112 Chapter 3: BIOS Setup
Chapter 3: BIOS Setup
Installation
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, battery-backed memory
(called NVRAM) 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 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 system 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 navigate in the setup program using the keyboard.
Tab Moves from one selection to the next
Left/Right Arrow Keys Change from one menu to the next
Up/Down Arrow Keys More between selections
Enter Opens highlighted section
PgUp/PgDn Keys Change settings.

Tomcat i7210 S5112 Chapter 3: BIOS Setup
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.
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, 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 the outcome. The
Chipset defaults were carefully chosen by TYAN or your system manufacturer for the best
performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup options may
cause the system to become unstable or unusable.
Setup Variations
Not all systems will 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: On the following pages, options written in bold type represent the BIOS Setup default.

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.

Tomcat i7210 S5112 Appendix I: Glossary
Appendix I: 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 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 Packet Interface): also 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 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 for some reason. 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, 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.
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 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.
http://www.tyan.com
5-1
Tomcat i7210 S5112 Appendix I: Glossary
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 parallel 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: sometimes called 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 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.
Doze mode: in this mode, only the CPU’s speed is slowed.
DRAM (Dynamic RAM): widely available, very 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 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, 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

Tomcat i7210 S5112 Appendix I: Glossary
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 timer, such as the Real-Time Clock (RTC).
Handshaking: a process where two devices 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 horizontal synchronization/properties of the monitor.
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): a hardware interrupt signal that goes to the IDE.
I/O (Input/Output): the connection between your computer and another piece of hardware
(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 attempt fails.
IPL: see Initial Program Load.
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-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).
http://www.tyan.com
5-3
Tomcat i7210 S5112 Appendix I: Glossary
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 Management timers): software timers that count 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 Management 2.0 baseline 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
specification used to enable an embedded 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 subsystem. The
RAIDIOS circuit allows an I/O Processor (either embedded on the motherboard or on an addin 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 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.
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 nonsynchronous 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 most common form of 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 (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.

SSI (Server System Infrastructure): an industry initiative intended to provide ready-to-use
design specifications for common server hardware elements (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 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 shift the processor over and down, guiding into the board and
locking it into place.

Technical Support
If a problem arises with your system, you should turn to your dealer for help first. Your system
has most likely been configured by them, and they should have the best idea of what
hardware and software your system contains. Hence, they should be of the most assistance.
Furthermore, if you purchased your system from a dealer near you, you can actually bring
your system to them to have it serviced, instead of attempting to do so yourself (which can
have expensive consequences).
