Chapter 2: Board Installation
You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of
the Thunder n3600M S2932-E matches the EATX 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
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.

2.4 - Installing the Processor
Your Thunder n3600M S2932-E supports the latest processor technologies
from AMD. Check the TYAN website for latest processor support:

http://www.tyan.com

Exploded View of AMD PIB Platforms Thermal Solution based on AMD Socket F
Processor

Back plate Assembly
The back plate is mounted on the backside of the motherboard and enhances
local stiffness to support shock and vibration loads acting on the heat sink. The
back plate assembly prevents excessive motherboard warpage in the area near
the processor. Without a back plate, excessive warpage could cause serious
damage to electrical connections of the processor socket and integrated circuit
packages surrounding the processor. The back plate also serves as a stiffener
plate for the LGA socket.
While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components. Follow these
instructions to install your back plate:
1.

Remove the release liner from the back plate.

Align the PEM nuts on the back plate to the holes on the reverse side
of the PCB.

First, insert the taller upper & lower middle PEM nuts through the
holes of the PCB. The remaining four shorter PEM nuts should
automatically fit the 4 holes on the PCB as shown in the following
pictures.

4 PEM nuts
should fit 4
holes.

Let 2 upper &
lower-middle
PEM nuts pass
through the
holes.

Locate four screw holes on socket and screw the socket to the PCB
board.

NOTE: Do not assemble CPU before securing socket with screws.
5.

Inspect Socket F assembly to PCB. The Socket F must be tightly
attached onto the PCB. There must NOT be any gap between stand
off the PCB.

Processor Installation
The processor should be installed carefully. Make sure you are wearing an
antistatic strap and handle the processor as little as possible.
Follow these instructions to install your processor:
1.

Place the PCB such that the socket cam side faces you. Make sure
the lever hook is on your top-left side.
Use your left thumb and forefinger to hold the lever hook, then pull it
to the left side to clear the retention tab.
Rotate the lever to a fully open position.

Lift the load plate to a fully open position.

Locate the Pin 1 indicator of the package. Align the package with the
socket and carefully insert the package into the socket with vertical
motion only. Vertically check if the CPU is seated well in the socket
housing. If not, take out the CPU, with vertical motion only, and
repeat the above steps.

NOTE: The alignment keys must be located in the notches of the package.
25

Remove the PnP cap. Use your left hand to hold the load plate.
Then use your right thumb to remove the PnP cap from the load plate.
With the package in the socket, the PnP cap removal process will not
damage the contacts.

Close the socket. Rotate the load plate onto the package lid.
Engage the load lever while pressing down lightly onto the load plate.
Secure the lever near the hook end under the retention tab.

Repeat this procedure for the second processor if necessary.

CPU VRD Heat Dispersion Notice
INSTALL FAN INTO CHASSIS TO LET AIR FLOW IN!!!
-To ensure that the board runs efficiently and does not overheat, make sure
there is air flow around the CPU VRD (as shown) to help disperse the heat
generated around the CPU.

2.5 - Tips on Installing Motherboard in Chassis
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 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.

2.6 - Installing the Memory
Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible
with the motherboard and processor. Only DDR2 register ECC/non-ECC
memory modules are required. Check the TYAN Web site at:
www.tyan.com for details of the type of memory recommended for your
motherboard.
The following diagram shows common types of DDR2 memory modules.

•
•

All installed memory will automatically be detected and no jumpers or
settings need changing.
The Thunder n3600M S2932-E supports up to 64GB of memory.

NOTE:
Symmetrical DIMMS must be identical
- Same DRAM technology, eg 128-bit, 256-bit, etc
- Same DRAM bus width, eg x8 or x16
- Matched Sided DIMMs (single-sided or double-sided)

Memory Installation Procedure
Follow these instructions to install memory modules into the Thunder n3600M.
1.

Press the locking levers in the direction shown in the following illustration.

Align the memory module with the socket. The memory module is keyed
to fit only one way in the socket.

Key slot

Seat the module firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until it sits
flush with the socket. The locking levers pop up into place.

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 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.
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 Thunder n3600M S2932-E is equipped with 6 Serial ATA (SATA)
channels. Connections for these drives are 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.

4. SATA drive power adapter

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 connection of the
cable.
Attach first floppy drive
(drive A:) to the end 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:).

2.8 - 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.
PCI Expr es s (x16 )

PCI Slot

PC I-X (64 /1 33)

Simply find the appropriate slot for your add-in card and insert the card
firmly. Do not force any add-in cards into any slots if they do not seat in
place. It is better to try another slot or return the faulty card rather than
damaging both the motherboard and the add-in card.

YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector from the
motherboard before performing system hardware changes.
Otherwise you may damage the board and/or expansion
device.

2.9 - Connecting External Devices
Your motherboard supports a number of different interfaces through connecting
peripherals. See the following diagrams for the details.

PS/2
Mouse/Keyboard

10/100/1000
LAN2 Port

10/100/1000

NOTE: Peripheral devices can be plugged straight into any of these ports but
software may be required to complete the installation.

Onboard LAN LED Color Definition
The three onboard Ethernet ports have green and yellow LEDs to indicate LAN
status. The chart below illustrates the different LED states.

2.10 - Installing the Power Supply
There are three power connectors on your Thunder n3600M S2932-E. The
Thunder n3600M S2932-E requires that you have an EPS12V power supply
that has a 24-pin, an 8-pin and a 4-pin power connectors.
NOTE: Please be aware that ATX 2.x, ATX12V and ATXGES power supplies
may not be compatible with the board and can damage the motherboard and/or
CPU(s).

2.11 – 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.

NOTE

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. 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 during POST ( on remote console) to start the BIOS setup
utility.

3.2 – BIOS Menu Bar
The menu bar at the top of the windows lists these selections:

3.4 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].

3.5 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 http://www.tyan.com for
the information of BIOS updating.

3.6 BIOS Main Menu
The Main BIOS Menu is the first screen that you can navigate. The Main
BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the
options that can be configured. "Grayed-out" options cannot be configured,
options in blue can be changed.
The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area
reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is
highlighted in white. Often, a text message will accompany it.

When DRAM is refreshed, both rows
and columns are addressed
separately. This setup item allows you
to determine the timing of the transition
from RAS (row address strobe) to CAS
(column address strobe). The less the
clock cycles, the faster the DRAM
performance.
This setting allows you to select the
number of clock cycles allotted for the
RAS pulse width, according to DRAM
specifications. The less the clock
cycles, the faster the DRAM
performance.
This item controls the number of cycles
for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to be
allowed to precharge. If insufficient
time is allowed for the RAS to
accumulate its chage before DRAM
refresh, refresh may be incomplete and
DRAM may fail to retain data. This
item applies only when synchronous
DRAM is installed in the system.

Read only

Auto uses hardware compensation
values. Other values add to or subtract
from hardware generated value.
Recommended setting is Auto.

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 problem 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 two kinds
of audible beeps.
•Eight short beeps: It indicates that a
video error has occurred.
•A single long beep repeatedly: It indicates that a DRAM error has
occurred.
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.

4.3 AMIBIOS Post Code

Appendix: 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 Controller Style (KCS),
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
TM
System Operator (TSO) software package.
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:
http://www.tyan.com

Features of Tyan Server Management
Monitor various system components remotely
- such as fans, processor temperature, and more
Remote power on and power off
Console redirect
-the ability to view system remotely
Alert and error actions
-such as audible beep, e-mail, power down and reboot
SMDC runs on stand-by power
-the SMDC will continue to function, even if the system is not
powered on
How SMDC and TSO Work
The brief descriptions below will help explain how these items function.

Agent – a system with SMDC installed
The SMDC is installed in the Agent system that uses a
compatible/supported Tyan motherboard.
Manager – manages the Agent
The Manger is set up to manage the Agent that has the
SMDC.
The Manager and Agent should be located in the same
place.
Console – communicates with Manager
The Console is used to monitor and control the Agent
through the Manager.

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
only at 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
results in greater speed.
BBS (BIOS Boot Specification): 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. 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,
which 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 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 the possibility of
losing your data should the system crash. Information in a buffer is temporarily
stored, not permanently saved.
87

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 information is
stored in SRAM instead of slower 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.
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): 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 socket 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.
DRAM (Dynamic RAM): widely available, very affordable form of RAM which
looses 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.
88

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, it 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
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.
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.
Global timer: onboard hardware timer, such as the Real-Time Clock (RTC).
HDD: stands for Hard Disk Drive, a type of fixed drive.
H-SYNC: controls the horizontal synchronization/properties of the monitor.
TM
HyperTransport : a high speed, low latency, scalable point-to-point link for
interconnecting ICs on boards. It can be significantly faster than a PCI bus for
an equivalent number of pins. It provides the bandwidth and flexibility critical for
today's networking and computing platforms while retaining the fundamental
programming model of PCI.

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.)
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
89

up your system. Plug-n-Play operating systems can take care of these details
for you.
Latency: the amount of time that one part of a system spends waiting for
another part to catch up. This occurs most commonly when the system sends
data out to a peripheral device and has to wait for the peripheral to spread
(peripherals tend to be slower than onboard system components).
NVRAM: ROM and EEPROM are both examples of Non-Volatile RAM, memory
that holds its data without power. DRAM, in contrast, is volatile.
Parallel port: transmits the bits of a byte on eight different wires 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 fast secondary cache. It is used as a secondary cache
because SRAM is slower than SDRAM, but usually larger. Data is cached first
to the faster primary cache, and then, when the primary cache is full, to the
slower secondary cache.
PnP (Plug-n-Play): a design standard that has become ascendant in the
industry. Plug-n-Play devices require little set-up to use. 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
with 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 and 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
90

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: RAID I/O Steering (Intel)
RAM (Random Access Memory): technically refers to a type of memory where
any byte can be accessed without touching the adjacent data and is often
referred 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.
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)
Sleep/Suspend mode: in this mode, all devices except the CPU shut down.
SDRAM (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.
SLI (Scalable Link Interface): NVIDIA SLI technology links two graphics cards
together to provide scalability and increased performance. NVIDIA SLI takes
advantage of the increased bandwidth of the PCI Express bus architecture, and
features hardware and software innovations within NVIDIA GPUs (graphics
processing units) and NVIDIA MCPs (media and communications processors).
Depending on the application, NVIDIA SLI can deliver as much as two times the
performance of a single GPU configuration.
Standby mode: in this mode, the video and hard drives shut down; all other
devices continue to operate normally.

UltraDMA-33/66/100: a fast version of the old DMA channel. UltraDMA is also
called UltraATA. Without a 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 shifts the
processor over and down, guiding it 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. Furthermore, if
you purchased your system from a dealer near you, you can bring your system
to them to have it serviced instead of attempting to do so yourself (which can
have expensive consequences).
