2.4 Installing the Processor and Heat Sink ® Your S7020 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. Heat Sink Installation After installing the processor, you should proceed to install the heat sink. The CPU heat sink will ensure that the processor do not overheat and continue to operate at maximum performance for as long as you own them.
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 heat sink 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 heat sink 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 Heat Sink After you have finished installing the heat sink onto the processor and socket, attach the end wire of the fan (which should already be attached to the heat sink) 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.
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 diagram shows common types of DDR3 memory modules.
The following tables outline the suggested rules for populating memory.

NOTE 88 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.
