2.1 Installing the Motherboard

The Tiger i7320 S5350 / Tiger i7320R S5350-1U motherboard conforms fully to the CEB

specification. Before continuing with the installation, confirm that your chassis supports a

standard CEB motherboard. If you are unsure, contact your dealer for more information.

2.1.1 Installation Notes

This user manual contains important information and you should read it thoroughly before

attempting the installation procedure.

Precautions:

• Static electricity can damage components on your motherboard. Before

touching the product, discharge any static build up in yourself by touching a

well grounded object such as a metal water pipe or a grounded electrical

appliance. TYAN recommends putting on a good quality grounded wrist strap

before removing your motherboard from the antistatic bag.

• Disconnect your computer from the power supply before any disassembly

procedure is attempted.

• Touch the motherboard as little as possible and do not touch the bottom of

the board at all. Bending or flexing the motherboard may break delicate

components or copper tracks on the board.

• Avoid touching any of the motherboard components.

• Place the motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the antistatic

bag in which the board was shipped.

• Inspect the board for damage.

Read the following sections for detailed instructions on how to install your motherboard in a

chassis and add a processor, memory, disk drives, and an optional module.

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.

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

red wire that marks pin 1. See the diagram below.

Troubleshooting Floppy Drives

See the chart below for troubleshooting floppy disk drive installations.

Symptoms of incorrectly installed floppy drives

Drive is not automatically detected

Usually caused by faulty cables, cables put in

backwards or a faulty floppy drive. Try another

floppy drive or try replacing the cable. Check to

see if the onboard floppy controller is enabled in

the BIOS setup.

Drive Fail message at boot up The cable, floppy drive or motherboard may be

faulty. Try another drive or cable.

Drive does not power on Check power cable and cabling. A faulty power

supply or drive cable could be the problem.

Drive activity light is constantly on

Usually signifies that the cable on the drive is

inserted backwards. Reverse the cable at the

floppy drive end and try again.

Colored cable denotes pin 1

http://www.tyan.com

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.

Left/Right Arrow Keys Changes from one menu to the next

Up/Down Arrow Keys Moves between selections

Enter Opens highlighted section

PgUp/PgDn Keys Changes settings.

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

Tiger i7320 / Tiger i7320R Chapter 3: BIOS Setup

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

Tiger i7320 / Tiger i7320R Chapter 3: BIOS Setup

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

memory area, it will result in a system crash. So, it is recommended that you write protect this

area for optimal system performance.

screen appears during system boot after the power-on self-test (POST). The summary screen

lists many of the system setup settings. When this option is set to Disabled, the summary

screen does not appear.

Enabled / Disabled

Quiet Boot

Enables or disables the OEM logo screen during boot up.

Enabled / Disabled

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.

3.4.3 Advanced Processor Options

This section allows you to fine-tune the processor options.

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

Tiger i7320 / Tiger i7320R Chapter 3: BIOS Setup

3-14

http://www.tyan.com

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.

Parallel Port

This defines how the parallel port is detected and configured.

Disabled / Enabled

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.

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.

The motherboard supports RAID 0 or 1 for Serial ATA drives through the Intel® 6300ESB

chipset. The Serial ATA as RAID option must be enabled in the BIOS before the system can

load the Adaptec® RAID option ROM code for Intel® RAID. The Adaptec® RAID option ROM is

a standard PnP (Plug and Play) option ROM that provides a pre-operating system user

interface for the Intel® RAID implementation. It also allows the boot order to be selected from

within the BIOS setup utility.

For this information, please check Tyan’s web site at: www.tyan.com

Warning

Before installing the driver into an existing system, backup any important

or useful data. Failure to follow this accepted PC practice could result in

data loss.

The Intel RAID feature is available in Win2000 and WinXP.

SATA data cable can be connected to the SATA hard disk or the SATA connector on the

motherboard.

Note

 Both the data and power SATA cables are new cables. You cannot

use older 40-pin 80-conductor IDE or regular IDE power cables with

SATA hard drives.

 Carefully follow any technical instructions that come from the hard

5.1 Beep Codes

Fatal errors, which halt the boot process, are communicated through a series of audible beeps.

For example, if the BIOS POST can initialize the video but an error occurs, an error message

will be displayed. If it cannot display the message, it will report the error as a series of beeps.

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.

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.

Tiger i7320 / Tiger i7320R Appendix I: Glossary

6-1

http://www.tyan.com

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.

Tiger i7320 / Tiger i7320R Appendix I: Glossary

6-2

http://www.tyan.com

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

http://www.tyan.com

Tiger i7320 / Tiger i7320R Appendix I: Glossary

6-3

http://www.tyan.com

EMRL: Embedded RAID Logic. An Adaptec specific RAID technology.

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.

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).

Tiger i7320 / Tiger i7320R Appendix I: Glossary

6-4

http://www.tyan.com

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.

Tiger i7320 / Tiger i7320R Appendix I: Glossary

6-5

http://www.tyan.com

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 add-

in 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 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)

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.

Tiger i7320 / Tiger i7320R Appendix I: Glossary

http://www.tyan.com

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

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).
