equipment.

·Do not install the system in or near a plenum, air duct, radiator, or heat
register.

·Never use the product in a wet location.

Equipment Chassis

·Do not block or cover the openings to the system.

·Never push objects of any kind through openings in the equipment.

Dangerous voltages might be present.

·Conductive foreign objects can produce a short circuit and cause fire,
electric shock, or damage to your equipment.

·Lift equipment using both hands and with your knees bent.

Equipment Racks

To avoid injury or damage to the equipment:

·Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and
guidelines for manual materials handling.

·Do not attempt to move a rack by yourself; a minimum of two people are
needed to move a rack.

·Do not attempt to move a fully loaded rack. Remove equipment from the
rack before moving it.

·Do not attempt to move a rack on an incline that is greater than 10
degrees from the horizontal.

·Make sure the rack is properly secured to the floor or ceiling.

·Make sure the stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack

installation.

·Make sure racks are coupled together if it is a multiple-rack installation.

·Make sure the rack is level and stable before installing an appliance in

the rack.

·Make sure the leveling jacks are extended to the floor.

·Make sure the full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.

·Always load the rack from the bottom up. Load the heaviest component

in the rack first.

·Make sure the rack is level and stable before pulling a component out of
the rack.

·Make sure only one component is extended at a time. A rack might
become unstable if more than one component is extended.

·Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is
easily accessible at all times.

·In all European electrical environments, you must ground the
Green/Yellow tab on the power cord. If you do not ground the
Green/Yellow tab, it can cause an electrical shock due to high leakage
currents.

·

Do not place objects on AC power cords or cables. Arrange them so

that no one might accidentally step on or trip over them.

·Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from the electrical
outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.

·To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect all power cords before
servicing the appliance.

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:

 A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver

 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.

28

http://www.tyan.com

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 YR190-B8228 or injury to yourself.

 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.

 Avoid touching motherboard components, IC chips, connectors,

memory modules, and leads.

 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.

 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.

 Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that

they ship with until they are ready for installation.

 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.

All connectors are keyed to only attach one way.

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

Chapter 4: BIOS Setting

4.1 - 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 (<Tab> on remote console) to start the BIOS setup
utility.

4.2 - 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
Boot To configure system boot order
Security To configure user and supervisor passwords
Chipset To configure chipset management features
Exit To exit setup utility

http://www.tyan.com

4.4 - 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].

4.5 - 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
