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.

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.

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

of the PCB.

3. 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.

Let 2 upper &

lower-middle

PEM nuts pass

through the

holes.

4 PEM nuts

should fit 4

holes.

2

4

4. 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.

25

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.

2. Use your left thumb and forefinger to hold the lever hook, then pull it

to the left side to clear the retention tab.

3. Rotate the lever to a fully open position.

4. Lift the load plate to a fully open position.

5. 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.

26

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

28

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.

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.

2. Align the memory module with the socket. The memory module is keyed

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.

31

The following pictures illustrate how to connect an SATA drive

1. SATA drive cable

2. SATA drive power

connection

3. SATA cable motherboard

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 Slot

PC I-X (6 4 /1 33)

PCI Expres s (x16)

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.

NOTE

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.

33

2.9 - Connecting External Devices

Your motherboard supports a number of different interfaces through connecting

peripherals. See the following diagrams for the details.

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.

10/100/1000 Mbps LAN Link/Activity LED Scheme

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.

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 <Del> during POST (<F4> 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:

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

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.

CAS Latency (Tcl) Read only

This controls the timing delay (in clock

cycles) before SDRAM starts a read

command after receiving it.

RAS/CAS Delay (Trcd) Read only

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.

Min Active RAS (Tras) Read only

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.

Row Precharge Time

(Trp)

Read only

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.

RAS/RAS Delay (Trrd) Read only

Auto uses hardware compensation

values. Other values add to or subtract

from hardware generated value.

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.

Appendix: SMDC Information

Overview

Tyan Server Management Daughter Card (SMDC) is a powerful yet cost-

efficient 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

System OperatorTM (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:

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.

88

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.

89

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.

HyperTransportTM: 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

90

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

91

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.

92

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.

93

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).
