2.4 - Installing the Processor and Heatsink Your S7016 supports the latest processor technologies from Intel®. Check the TYAN website for latest processor support: http://www.tyan.com Processor Installation (LGA1366 Socket) The processor should be installed carefully. Make sure you are wearing an antistatic strap and handle the processor as little as possible. Please note that both processors of the same type and frequency are required for optimal system performance.
Step 4: Close the CPU socket cover (A) and press the CPU socket lever down to secure the CPU (B). Take care when installing the processor as it has very fragile connector pins below the processor that can bend and break if inserted improperly. HeatSink Installation After installing the processor, you should proceed to install the heatsink. The CPU heatsink will ensure that the processor do not overheat and continue to operate at maximum performance for as long as you own them.
CPU VRD/IOH 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/IOH (as shown) to help disperse the heat generated around the area. 24 http://www.tyan.
2.5 - Thermal Interface Material There are two types of thermal interface materials designed for use with the processors. The most common material comes as a small pad attached to the heatsink at the time of purchase. There should be a protective cover over the material. Take care not to touch this material. Simply remove the protective cover and place the heatsink on the processor. The second type of interface material is usually packaged separately. It is commonly referred to as ‘thermal compound’.
2.6 - Finishing Installing the Heatsink After you have finished installing the heatsink onto the processor and socket, attach the end wire of the fan (which should already be attached to the heatsink) to the motherboard. The following diagram illustrates how to connect fans onto the motherboard. Once you have finished installing all the fans you can connect your drives (hard drives, CD-ROM drives, etc.) to your motherboard. 26 http://www.tyan.
2.7 - 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.
2.8 - Installing the Memory Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard and processor. Check the TYAN Web site at: www.tyan.com for details of the type of memory recommended for your motherboard. The following pictures show common types of DDR3 memory modules.

2.12 - Installing the Power Supply There are three power connectors on your S7016. The S7016 requires 3 power inputs. - 24-pin (PW1) - 8-pin (PW2, PW3) 1 x 24-pin 12V Power Connector (PW1) 2 x 8-pin 12V Power Connector (PW2, PW3) 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). Applying power to the board: 1. Connect the 12V 8-pin power connector. 2. Connect the EPS/12V 24-pin power connector. 3.
Chapter 3: BIOS Setup 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.

NOTE 84 http://www.tyan.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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). Help Resources: 1. See the beep codes section of this manual. 2.
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. Plug the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that of the receiver. Consult the dealer on an experienced radio/television technician for help.
