Chapter 2: Board Installation

Installation

You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of the Trinity GC -SL matches the ATX specifications. 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 is read this user’s manual. It contains important information that will make configuration and setup much easier. Here are some precautions you should take when installing your motherboard:

(1) Ground yourself properly before removing your motherboard from the antistatic bag.

Unplug the power from your computer power supply and then touch a safely grounded object to release static charge (i.e. power supply case). For the safest conditions, 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.

NOTE DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED

Default

2.6 – 64-bit PCI Slot Selection (JP9) (PCI-X Slot#1 at PCI Bus 1, for slot located closest to the CPU)

You can reset the CMOS settings in case you have forgotten your system/setup password or have just cleared your BIOS by u sing the jumpers.

• Power off system and disconnect the AC power from the power supply.

• Set jumper JP1 to Clear CMOS.

• Power system on and wait for the screen to show this message: “CMOS

Settings Wrong, CMOS Checksum Bad”. Now your CMOS is cleared.

• Go to BIOS Setup. Load and save setup defaults.

• Set jumper JP1 to Default (OPEN) for normal operations.

Open (default) the jumper to set the 64-bit slot to PCI-X mode.

Close the jumper to set the 64-bit slot to PCI mode.

(JP11) PCI -X (PCI slot 1) Frequency Selection

Open the jumper to set the slot to 100MHz.

Close (default) the jumper to set the slot to 133MHz.

http://www.tyan.com

(JP10) (PCI-X Slot#2 at PCI Bus 2, for slot located next to the 32-bit PCI)

Open the jumper to set slots to PCI-X mode.

(This is the default setting for S2707GN)

Close the jumper to set the slots to PCI mode. (This is the default setting for S2707UGN, if onboard AIC-7892x is present.)

Note:

§ No PCI-X 133/100 MHz jumper for Bus #2 Because this slot shares PCI Bus #2 with onboard 82545EM GbE and SCSI, the Bus #2 has more than one device loads and cannot support PCI- X 133 MHz by PCI- X specifications. Hence, there is no PCI-X 133MHz support for Bus #2.

§ PCI-X/PCI Mode on Bus #2 The onboard AIC- 7892x Ultra160 SCSI controller cannot support PCI-X mode, JP10 should be set to CLOSE in this case. However, because the optional AIC-7901 Ultra320 SCSI can support PCI -X model, JP10 can be set to OPEN for

S2707GN (non-SCSI) or with optional AIC- 7901.

2.7 – Onboard LAN - Intel 82545EM Gigabit NIC (JP22)

Enabled (default)

Disabled

Open the jumper(s) to enable the Onboard Intel 82545EM Gigabit

Ethernet chip.

CLOSE the jumper(s) to disable the Onboard Intel 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet chip.
