Chapter 2: Board Installation

2.6 Mounting the Motherboard
Before installing your motherboard, ensure that your chassis is fully compatible. The Tiger
i7320 S5350 / Tiger i7320R S5350-1U motherboard conforms fully to the CEB specification.
Your chassis should include preinstalled mounting posts that match exactly with the mounting
holes in the motherboard. Lay the motherboard on top of the mounting holes to ensure that all
the necessary mounting posts exist in your chassis and that they match the mounting holes on
the motherboard.
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.
The diagram below is an example of typical motherboard fixing studs.

Note
Use metal studs if possible, as they hold the motherboard in place more
securely than plastic standoffs.

Chapter 2: Board Installation

2.6.1 Installing Memory
Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the
motherboard and processor. DDR 266/333 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 memory modules.

Key points to note before installing memory into Tiger i7320 / i7320R:
•
Always install memory beginning with DIMM4
•
128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB and 4GB* Registered ECC PC2700/PC2100
DDR SDRAM memory modules are supported
•
All installed memory will be automatically detected.
•
The Tiger i7320 S5350 / Tiger i7320R S5350-1U supports up to 32GB* of memory.
•
Registered ECC Memory is supported.
Either single or dual-rank modules are supported.
•
•
Memory modules of the same type and density are required for dual-channel DDR
operation. Mismatched memory may cause system instability.
* Not validated at the time of print; subject to change.
Refer to the following table for supported DDR-333/266 populations
(Note: S indicates a single rank DIMM, D indicates a dual rank DIMM)

Note
Intel E7320 chipset specification lists a limitation of 8 banks of DDR333
memory. However, by design the Tiger i7320/i7320R supports up to 16 banks
of DDR333 memory. Please note that this a feature of Tyan’s breakthrough
engineering design, and similar memory support may not be present on
competitor products that use the Intel E7320 chipset

Turn the board the right way up again and screw the heat sink into place.

7.

Repeat this procedure for the second processor.

Cooling Fan Installation
Some thought should be given to fan installation. There are pin headers on the board for CPU
fans and chassis fans. You may find that just chassis fans or just CPU fans are sufficient to
cool your system. If you are in any doubt about what you need, consult your dealer.

2.7 Installing Drive Cables
IDE and FDD connectors are “keyed” to only allow insertion only one way. TYAN
motherboards have two on-board IDE channels, each supporting two drives. The black
connector is a standard IDE channel. Only the blue connector
supports RAID.
Insert the IDE cable as shown in the diagram.
TIP: When connecting to an IDE cable to a drive, Pin 1 on the IDE
cable (usually designated by a colored wire) should be closest to the
drive power connector.
Serial ATA
Attaching Serial ATA cables to the Serial ATA connectors is illustrated below:
Plug in one end of the Serial ATA cable into the motherboard Serial ATA
connector, and the other end into the drive. Each standard Serial ATA cable has
two connectors, one at each end. Connectors are the same on both ends.
Floppy Drives
Floppy disk drive (FDD) cables can be installed in the same way as IDE cables. Usually
connectors are keyed to prevent insertion the wrong way. In most cases the cable should be
inserted into the drive with pin 1 closest to the power input. FDD cables usually have a single
Colored cable denotes pin 1
red wire that marks pin 1. See the diagram below.

Chapter 3: BIOS Setup

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. This chapter describes different settings for the BIOS
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 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 when the power is turned off.
This motherboard’s BIOS is a customized version of the industry-standard BIOS for IBM PC
AT-compatible personal computers. The BIOS provides critical, low-level support for the
system’s central processing unit (CPU), memory, and I/O subsystems.
This BIOS has been customized by adding important features such as virus and password
protection, power management, and chipset “tuning” features that control the system. This
section will guide you through the process of configuring the BIOS for your system setup.
Starting Setup
The BIOS is immediately activated when you turn on the computer. The BIOS reads system
configuration in CMOS RAM and begins the process of checking out the system and
configuring it through the Power-On-Self-Test (POST).
When these preliminary tests are complete, the BIOS searches for an operating system on
one of the system’s data storage devices (hard drive, CD-ROM, etc). If one is found, the BIOS
will launch that operating system and hand control over to it. You can enter the BIOS setup by
pressing the [Delete] key when the machine boots up and begins to show the memory count.
Setup Basics
The table below shows how to use the setup program with the keyboard.

Getting Help
Pressing [F1] displays 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] or the [F1]
key again.
In Case of Problems
If you discover that you have trouble booting the computer after making and saving the
changes with the BIOS setup program, 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 sure of the outcome. TYAN or your

system manufacturer has carefully chosen the chipset defaults for best performance and
reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup options may cause the system
to become unstable or unusable.
Setup Variations
Not all systems have the same BIOS setup layout or options. While the basic look and function
of the BIOS setup remains more or less the same for most systems, the appearance of your
Setup screen may differ from the charts shown in this section. Each system design and
chipset combination requires a custom configuration. In addition, the final appearance of the
Setup program depends on the system designer. Your system designer may decide that
certain items should not be available for user configuration, and remove them from the BIOS
setup program.

3.3.1 IDE Master / Slave Setup
Computer detects IDE drive type from drive C to drive F.
Press Enter on any of the Master/Slave options to view advanced details of the corresponding
drive.

The system displays advanced details like the number of heads/cylinders/sectors on the
detected disk and the maximum storage capacity of the disk.
This option lets you set the following hard disk parameters:
Multi-Sector Transfers
This option allows you to specify the number of sectors per block for multiple sector transfers.
Disabled / 2 Sectors / 4 Sectors / 8 Sectors / 16 Sectors
LBA Mode Control
Enables or disables LBA Mode.
In LBA Mode, instead of referring to a cylinder, head and sector number, each sector is
instead assigned a unique "sector number". In essence, the sectors are numbered 0, 1, 2, etc.
up to (N-1), where N is the number of sectors on the disk.
In order for LBA to work, it must be supported by the BIOS and operating system, but since it
is also a new way of talking to the hard disk, the disk must support it as well. All newer hard
disks do in fact support LBA, and when auto detected by a BIOS supporting LBA, will be set
up to use that mode.
When LBA is turned on, the BIOS will enable geometry translation. This translation may be
done in the same way that it is done in Extended CHS or large mode, or it may be done using
a different algorithm called LBA-assist translation. The translated geometry is still what is
presented to the operating system for use in Int 13h calls. The difference between LBA and
ECHS is that when using ECHS the BIOS translates the parameters used by these calls from
the translated geometry to the drive's logical geometry. With LBA, it translates from the
translated geometry directly into a logical block (sector) number.
LBA has in recent years become the dominant form of hard disk addressing. Since the 8.4 GB
limit of the Int13h interface was reached, it became impossible to express the geometry of
large hard disks using cylinder, head and sector numbers, translated or not, while remaining
below the Int13h limits of 1,024 cylinders, 256 heads and 63 sectors. Therefore, modern

drives are no longer specified in terms of classical geometry, but rather in terms of their total
number of user data sectors and addressed using LBA.
Disabled / Enabled
32 Bit I/O
Enables or disables 32 bit data transfer mode.
Enabling this option causes the PCI hard disk interface controller to bundle together two 16-bit
chunks of data from the drive into a 32-bit group, which is then transmitted to the processor or
memory. This results in a small performance increase.
Enabled / Disabled
Transfer Mode
These modes determine the speed at which data is transferred to and from the drive. The Auto
option automatically determines the correct transfer rates.
Auto / Standard / Fast PIO 1 / Fast PIO 2 / Fast PIO 3 / Fast PIO 4 / FPIO 3 / DMA
1 / FPIO 4 / DMA 2
Ultra DMA Mode
Enables or disables Ultra DMA Mode.
Ultra DMA (UDMA, or, more accurately, Ultra DMA/33) is a protocol for transferring data
between a hard disk drive through the computer's data paths (or bus) to the computer's
random access memory (RAM). The Ultra DMA/33 protocol transfers data in burst mode at a
rate of 33.3 MBps (megabytes per second), twice as fast as the previous Direct Memory
Access (DMA) interface.
Ultra DMA support in your computer means that it will boot (start) and open new applications
more quickly. It will also help users of graphics-intensive and other applications that require
large amounts of access to data on the hard drive. Ultra DMA uses Cyclical Redundancy
Checking (CRC), offering a new level of data protection.
Because the Ultra DMA protocol is designed to work with legacy application PIO and DMA
protocols, it can be added to many existing computers by installing an Ultra DMA/33
Peripheral Component Interconnect adapter card. Ultra DMA uses the same 40-pin Integrated
Drive Electronics interface cable as PIO and DMA.

3.3.2 Memory Cache
This setting allows you to tweak the various cache settings for optimal performance of your
system.
Press Enter to display the various cache settings.

Cache System BIOS Area
This feature is only available when the system BIOS is shadowed. It enables or disables the
caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh via the L2 cache. This greatly speeds
up accesses to the system BIOS. However, this does not necessarily make the system
perform better because the OS does not need to access the system BIOS often.
As such, it would be a waste of L2 cache bandwidth to cache the system BIOS instead of data
that are more critical to the system's performance. In addition, if any program writes into this
memory area, it will result in a system crash. So, it is recommended that you write protect this
area for optimal system performance.
NULL / Write Protect
Cache Video BIOS Area
This feature is only valid when the video BIOS is shadowed. It enables or disables the caching
of the video BIOS ROM at C0000h-C7FFFh via the L2 cache. This greatly speeds up
accesses to the video BIOS. However, this does not necessarily make the system perform
better because the OS bypasses the BIOS and uses the graphics driver to access the video
card's hardware directly.
As such, it would be a waste of L2 cache bandwidth to cache the video BIOS instead of data
that are more critical to the system's performance. In addition, if any program writes into this

Quick Boot Mode
This BIOS feature allows you to decrease the time it takes to boot up the computer by
shortening or skipping certain standard booting procedures.
If enabled, the BIOS will shorten the booting process by skipping some tests and shortening
others. In addition, it will also perform the following to further speed up the booting process:
• Spin up the hard disks as soon as power is supplied (or as soon as possible)
• Initialize only critical parts of the chipset
• Read memory size from the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) chip on the memory
modules
• Eliminate logo delays
If disabled, the BIOS will run the whole gamut of boot-up tests.
It is recommended that you disable this feature when you boot up a new computer for the first
time or whenever you install a new piece of hardware. This allows the BIOS to run full
diagnostic tests to detect any problems that may slip past Quick Boot's abbreviated testing
scheme.
After a few error-free test runs, you should enable this feature for much faster booting.

Reset Configuration Data
If you install a new piece of hardware or modify your computer's hardware configuration, the
BIOS will automatically detect the changes and reconfigure the ESCD (Extended System
Configuration Data). Therefore, there is usually no need to manually force the BIOS to
reconfigure the ESCD.
However, sometimes, the BIOS may not be able to detect the hardware changes. A serious
resource conflict may occur and the operating system may not even boot as a result. This is
where the Reset Configuration Data BIOS feature comes in.
This BIOS feature allows you to manually force the BIOS to clear the previously saved ESCD
data and reconfigure the settings. All you need to do is enable this BIOS feature and then
reboot your computer. The new ESCD should resolve the conflict and allow the operating
system to load normally.
Please note that the BIOS will automatically reset it to the default setting of No after
reconfiguring the new ESCD. So, there is no need for you to manually disable this feature after
rebooting.

Hyper Threading Technology
Enable this only if you have an Intel Hyper Threading processor.
Hyper-Threading Technology enables multi-threaded software applications to execute threads
in parallel. Hyper-Threading Technology provides thread-level-parallelism (TLP) on each
processor resulting in increased utilization of processor execution resources. As a result,
resource utilization yields higher processing throughput. Hyper-Threading Technology is a
form of simultaneous multi-threading technology (SMT) where multiple threads of software
applications can be run simultaneously on one processor. This is achieved by duplicating the
architectural state on each processor, while sharing one set of processor execution resources.
Hyper-Threading Technology also delivers faster response times for multi-tasking workload
environments. By allowing the processor to use on-die resources that would otherwise have
been idle, Hyper-Threading Technology provides a performance boost on multi-threading and
multi-tasking operations for the Intel NetBurst® microarchitecture.
Enabled / Disabled
Thermal Management 2
Thermal Management throttles the processor back as it reaches its maximum operating
temperature. Throttling reduces the number of processing cycles, thereby diminishing the heat
dissipation of the CPU. This cools the unit. Once the CPU has reached a safe operating
temperature, thermal throttling is automatically disabled, and normal full speed processing
begins again.
The BIOS supports two types of thermal management.
• Thermal Monitor 1: Thermal Monitor 1 uses a highly accurate on-die temperature
sensing circuit in the CPU that has the ability to act quickly upon any thermal issues
(~50ns). This circuitry keeps an eye on the most taxed areas of the CPU-die at all
times and will quickly act upon temperatures going over the safety limits. The
3-13
http://www.tyan.com

Tiger i7320 / Tiger i7320R

•

Chapter 3: BIOS Setup

thermal monitor’s control circuit, when active, lowers the CPU temperature by
throttling the internal CPU clock speed. This is done with a 50% duty-cycle, which
means that a 2GHz CPU will then effectively run at a 1GHz clock speed. Due to the
fast response time of the thermal monitor circuit (~50ns) the CPU will only be
‘throttled’ for a very brief period. Once the CPU-die temperature is within safe
operating limits again it’ll set back to the 2GHz clock speed it originally operated at.
Thermal Monitor 2: Thermal Monitor 2 decreases or increases the CPU clock and
core voltage according to the CPU load. This information is read from the five VID
pins of the CPU. Accordingly, the CPU temperature is also automatically decreased,
when the core voltage is decreased. This improves the CPU lifespan. The states
switch is so fast that the performance decrease is insignificant.

Mode
This field allows the user to select the parallel port mode. The default value is Standard that
automatically selects the correct mode to use. The other modes are explained as follows:
SPP works with all parallel port devices. However, it is the slowest transfer mode and should
only be used when faster transfer modes cannot be used.
There are two faster bidirectional modes available - the ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) and
EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) modes.
ECP uses the DMA protocol to achieve data transfer rates of up to 2.5 Mb/s and provides
symmetric bidirectional communication. On the other hand, EPP uses existing parallel port
signals to provide asymmetric bidirectional communication.
Generally, because of its FIFOs and the DMA channel it uses, ECP is good for large data
transfers (useful for scanners and printers). On the other hand, EPP is better with links that
switch directions frequently (like parallel port drives).
There are two versions of the EPP transfer protocol - EPP1.7 and EPP1.9. Generally, EPP1.9
is the preferred setting because it supports the newer EPP1.9 devices and most EPP1.7
devices and offers advantages like support for longer cables. However, because certain
EPP1.7 devices cannot work properly with an EPP1.9 port, this BIOS feature was
implemented to allow you to set the EPP mode to EPP1.7 when such an issue occurs.
Therefore, it is recommended that you set this BIOS feature to EPP1.9. But if you have trouble
connecting to your parallel port device, switch to EPP1.7.
However, the manufacturer of your parallel port peripheral may have designated a preferred
parallel port mode for the device in question. In that case, it's best to follow their
recommendation.
For those who don't know what mode to select but at least know that their parallel port device
supports bidirectional transfers, the BIOS offers the ECP+EPP mode. If you select this mode,
then the parallel port device will be able to use either one of those modes. However, this
should be considered as a last resort as you may be needlessly tying up an IRQ if your device
does not use ECP at all. Or the BIOS may not select the best parallel port mode for the device.
If possible, set the parallel port to the transfer mode that best suits your parallel port device.
However, the manufacturer of your parallel port peripheral may have designated a preferred
parallel port mode for the device in question. In that case, it's best to follow their
recommendation.

This determines the base address and interrupt of the parallel port.
Disabled / 378/IRQ7 / 278/IRQ5 / 3BC/IRQ7
DMA Channel
This BIOS feature determines which DMA channel the parallel port should use when it is in
ECP mode.
The ECP mode uses the DMA protocol to achieve data transfer rates of up to 2.5 Mbits/s and
provides symmetric bidirectional communications. For all this, it requires the use of a DMA
channel.
By default, the parallel port uses DMA Channel 3 when it is in ECP mode. This works fine in
most situations.
This feature is provided just in case one of your add-on cards requires the use of DMA
Channel 3. In such a case, you can use this BIOS feature to force the parallel port to use the
alternate DMA Channel 1.
Please note that there is no performance advantage in choosing DMA Channel 3 over DMA
Channel 1 or vice versa. As long as either Channel 3 or Channel 1 is available for your parallel
port to use, the parallel port will be able to function properly in ECP mode.

Appendix I: Glossary

Appendix I: 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 at only 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, then, also results in greater
speed.
BBS (BIOS Boot Specification): is 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 for some reason. 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, and 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, all at once, 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 also the possibility of losing your data should the system crash.
Information stored in a buffer is temporarily stored, not permanently saved.
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 needed information is stored in the SRAM instead
of in the slow 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.
6-1
http://www.tyan.com

Tiger i7320 / Tiger i7320R

Appendix I: Glossary

Cache size: refers to the physical size of the cache onboard. This should not be confused with
the cacheable area, which is the total amount of memory which can be scanned by the system
in search of data to put into the cache. A typical setup would be a cache size of 512KB, and a
cacheable area of 512MB. In this case, up to 512KB of the main memory onboard is capable
of being cached. However, only 512KB of this memory will be in the cache at any given
moment. Any main memory above 512MB could never be cached.
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): is 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 sockets, 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.
Doze mode: in this mode, only the CPU’s speed is slowed.
DRAM (Dynamic RAM): widely available, very affordable form of RAM which has the
unfortunate tendency to lose 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.
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, 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

Appendix I: Glossary

EMRL: Embedded RAID Logic. An Adaptec specific RAID technology.
ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data): a format for storing information about Plugn-Play devices in the system BIOS. This information helps properly configure the system each
time it boots.
Fault-tolerance: a term describing a system where one component can quickly be replaced
without causing a loss of service, such as in a RAID system.
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, although TYAN also makes some Baby-AT and ATX Footprint boards.
Global timer: onboard hardware timer, such as the Real-Time Clock (RTC).
Handshaking: a process where two devices initiate communications. One device, typically the
server, sends a message to another device, typically a client, in order to request establishment
of a communications channel. The two devices will then exchange messages back and forth in
order to settle on a communications protocol.
HDD: stands for Hard Disk Drive, a type of fixed drive.
H-SYNC: controls the horizontal synchronization/properties of the monitor.
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.)
Initial Program Load (IPL): a feature built into BBS-compliant devices, describing those
devices as capable of loading and executing an OS, as well as being able to provide control
back to the BIOS if the loading attempt fails.
IPL: see Initial Program Load.
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 up your system. Plug-n-Play operating systems can take care of these
details for you.
ISA (Industry Standard Architecture): a slower 8- or 16-bit bus (data pathway).

Appendix I: Glossary

Latency: the amount of time that one part of a system spends waiting for another part to catch
up. This is most common when the system sends data out to a peripheral device, and it
waiting for the peripheral to send some data back (peripherals tend to be slower than onboard
system components).
Mirroring: see RAID.
NVRAM: ROM and EEPROM are both examples of Non-Volatile RAM, memory that holds its
data without power. DRAM, in contrast, is volatile.
OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers): Compaq or IBM package other companies’
motherboards and hardware inside their case and sell them.
Parallel port: transmits the bits of a byte on eight different wires at the same time (that is, in
parallel form, eight bits 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 type of RAM that can maintain it’s data as long as power is provided
to the memory chips. In this configuration, SRAM requests are pipelined, which means that
larger packets of data are sent to the memory at one time, and acted upon quickly. This type
of SRAM operates at bus speeds higher than 66MHz.
Pipelining: improves system performance by allowing the CPU to begin executing a second
instruction before the first is completed. A pipeline can be likened to an assembly line, with a
given part of the pipeline repeatedly executing a set part of an operation on a series of
instructions.
PM timers (Power Management timers): software timers that count down the number of
seconds or minutes until the system times out and enters sleep, suspend, or doze mode.
PnP (Plug-n-Play): a design standard that has become ascendant in the industry. Plug-n-Play
devices require little set-up to use. Novice end users can simply plug them into a computer
that is running on a Plug-n-Play aware operating system (such as Windows 98), and go to
work. 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, towards the goal of allowing networked-based
booting to boot using industry standard protocols.

Appendix I: Glossary

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,
also the 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 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: stands for RAID I/O Steering, a type of RAID technology from Intel. RAIDIOS is a
specification used to enable an embedded I/O controller, embedded on the motherboard, to be
used as just an I/O controller or to be the I/O component of a hardware RAID subsystem. The
RAIDIOS circuit allows an I/O Processor (either embedded on the motherboard or on an addin card) to configure the I/O controller and service the I/O controller’s interrupts. The I/O
controller and the I/O Processor together are two of the primary components of a hardware
RAID subsystem.
RAM (Random Access Memory): technically refers to a type of memory where any byte can
be accessed without touching the adjacent data, is often used to refer 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.
SATA (Serial ATA): is an evolutionary replacement for the Parallel ATA physical storage
interface. Serial ATA is a drop-in solution in that it is compatible with today’s software and
operating systems. It will provide for systems which are easier to design, with cables that are
simpler to route and install, smaller cable connectors, and lower voltage requirements.
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 nonsynchronous 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)
SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module): formally the most common form of RAM for
motherboards. They must be installed in pairs, and do not have the carrying capacity or the
speed of DIMM modules.
Sleep/Suspend mode: in this mode, all devices except the CPU shut down.
SRAM (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.

SSI (Server System Infrastructure): an industry initiative intended to provide ready-to-use
design specifications for common server hardware elements (chassis, power supplies, and
racks) to promote and support server industry growth.
Standby mode: in this mode, the video and hard drives shut down; all other devices continue
to operate normally.
Striping: see RAID
UltraDMA-33/66/100: a fast version of the old DMA channel. UltraDMA is also called UltraATA.
Without 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 shift the processor over and down, guiding into the board and
locking it into place.

Technical Support

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. Hence, they should be of the most assistance.
Furthermore, if you purchased your system from a dealer near you, you can actually bring
your system to them to have it serviced, instead of attempting to do so yourself (which can
have expensive consequences).
Help Resources:
1. See the beep codes section of this manual.
2. See the TYAN website for FAQ’s, bulletins, driver updates, and
other information: http://www.tyan.com
3. Contact your dealer for help BEFORE calling TYAN.
4. Check the TYAN user group: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.TYAN
