SAFETY INFORMATION

Before installing and using TYAN YR188-B537M, take note of the
following precautions:

·Read all instructions carefully.

·Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.

·Do not block the slots and opening on the unit, which are provided for

ventilation.

·Only use the power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not
sure, contact the power company.

·The unit uses a three-wire ground cable, which is equipped with a third
pin to ground the unit and prevent electric shock. Do not defeat the
purpose of this pin. If you outlet does not support this kind of plug,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.

·Do not place anything on the power cord. Place the power cord where it
will not be in the way of foot traffic.

·Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual and on the unit case.

·Do not push objects in the ventilation slots as they may touch high

voltage components and result in shock and damage to the
components.

·When replacing parts, ensure that you use parts specified by the

manufacturer.

·When service or repairs have been done, perform routine safety checks
to verify that the system is operating correctly.

·Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating
device.

·Cover the unit when not in use.

Chapter 2: Setting Up

2.0.1 Before you Begin

This chapter explains how to install the CPUs, CPU heatsinks,
memory modules, and hard drives. Instructions on inserting add on
cards are also given.

2.0.2 Work Area

Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and
dirt can get into components and cause malfunctions. Use
containers to keep small components separated. Putting all small
components in separate containers prevents them from becoming
lost. Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from
accidentally damaging the internal components.

2.0.3 Tools

The following procedures require only a few tools, including the
following:

z A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver

z A grounding strap or an anti-static pad

Most of the electrical and mechanical connections can be
disconnected with your hands. It is recommended that you do not
use pliers to remove connectors as it may damage the soft metal or
plastic parts of the connectors.

http://www.tyan.com

24

2.0.4 Precautions

Components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by
discharges of static electricity. Working on a system that is connected
to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the guidelines
below to avoid damage to YR188-B537M or injury to yourself.

z Ground yourself properly before removing the top cover of the

system. Unplug the power from the power supply and then
touch a safely grounded object to release static charge (i.e.
power supply case). If available, wear a grounded wrist strap.
Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching the
bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body of
any other grounded appliance.

z Avoid touching motherboard components, IC chips, connectors,

memory modules, and leads.

z The motherboard is pre-installed in the system. When

removing the motherboard, always place it on a grounded
anti-static surface until you are ready to reinstall it.

z Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch

the components on the board unless it is necessary to do so.
Do not flex or stress circuit boards.

z Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that

they ship with until they are ready for installation.

z After replacing optional devices, make sure all screws, springs,

or other small parts are in place and are not left loose inside
the case. Metallic parts or metal flakes can cause electrical
shorts.

Note:

All connectors are keyed to only attach one way.

All use the correct screw size as indicated in the procedures.

2.1 Installing Motherboard Components

This section describes how to install components on to the mainboard,
including CPUs, memory modules, HDD and add on cards.

2.1.1 Installing Hard Drives

The YR188-B537M supports four 2.5” hard drives per node. Follow
these instructions to install a hard drive.

1. Press the locking tabs at both sides to pull the node out.

2. First remove the power supply (see 3.9 Replacing the Power
Supply for details). Unscrew to lift up the node cover.

3. Press the locking lever latch and pull the locking lever open.

http://www.tyan.com

26

4. Slide the HDD tray out.

5. Unscrew the HDD tray bracket.

6. Place a hard drive into the drive tray. Use four screws to secure
the HDD.

7. Reinsert the HDD tray into the chassis.

4.4 Installing Optional SO-DIMM modules

Your S537M motherboard is equipped with an optional proprietary SO-DIMM
connector. The 200-pin vertical SO-DIMM connector can be used for TYAN
M3296 expansion card to provide such features as additional TYAN SMDC
module support. For details of available expansions cards, visit the TYAN
website at http://www.tyan.com

.

To install a SO-DIMM expansion card:

1. Open the spring levers as shown.

2. Insert the SO-DIMM card as shown,
making sure that the card is the
right way up. The card will fit in only
one way and the screw holes in the
card should line up exactly with the
mounting posts on the
motherboard.

3. Push the SO-DIMM card down into
place and make sure the spring
levers click into place as shown.

NOTE: The SO-DIMM expansion

cards will fit in the slot only one way.
Make sure that you align the slot in
the card with the key in the card
slot.

4. Removal of a SO-DIMM card is a
reversal of the installation
procedure. Push out the spring
levers as shown and pull the card
out of the socket.

Chapter 5: BIOS Setup

5.1 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,
battery-backed 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.

5.2 BIOS Menu Bar

The menu bar at the top of the windows lists these selections:

Main To configure basic system setups

Advanced To configure the advanced chipset features

PCI/PnP To configure legacy Plug & Play or PCI settings

Boot To configure system boot order

Security To configure user and supervisor passwords

Chipset To configure chipset management features

Exit To exit setup utility

5.4 Getting Help

Press [F1] to 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].

5.5 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 TYAN 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.

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 when this manual is written. Please visit Tyan’s website at
