2.4 - Installing the Processor Your brand new S7025 supports the latest Tylersburg platform from Intel®. ® Only Intel “Nehalem-EP 2S” processors are certified and supported with this motherboard. Check our website for latest processor support. http://www.tyan.com TYAN® is not liable for damage as a result of operating an unsupported configuration. Step1: Press the lever and unlock the CPU socket.
PAGE 23
B Step3: Close the socket cover and press the CPU lever down to secure the CPU. 23 http://www.tyan.
PAGE 24
2.5 - 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. The overheated processor is dangerous to the motherboard. For the safest method of installation and information on choosing the appropriate heat sink, using heat sinks validated by Intel®. Please refer to Intel’ ®s website at www.Intel.
PAGE 25
2.6 - 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’.
PAGE 26
2.7 - 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. 26 http://www.tyan.
PAGE 27
2.8 - 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 preinstall 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.
PAGE 28
Some chassis’ include plastic studs instead of metal. Although the plastic studs are usable, TYAN® recommends using metal studs with screws that will fasten the motherboard more securely in place. Below is a chart detailing what the most common motherboard studs look like and how they should be installed. 28 http://www.tyan.
PAGE 29
2.9 - 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.    TYAN® S7025 series support up to 64GB DDR3 memory. DDR3 800/1066/1333 memories are supported. All installed memory will automatically be detected and no jumpers or settings need changing.

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.

losing your data should the system crash. Information 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.

DRAM (Dynamic RAM): widely available, very affordable form of RAM which looses data if it is not recharged regularly (every few milliseconds). This refresh requirement makes DRAM three to ten times slower than non-recharged RAM such as SRAM. 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.
PAGE 81
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. Plugn-Play operating systems can take care of these details for you. Latency: the amount of time that one part of a system spends waiting for another part to catch up.

designed to define a standard set of preboot protocol services within a client with the goal of allowing networked-based booting to boot using industry standard protocols. RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks): a way for the same data to be stored in different places on many hard drives. By using this method, the data is stored redundantly and multiple hard drives will appear as a single drive to the operating system.

features hardware and software innovations within NVIDIA GPUs (graphics processing units) and NVIDIA MCPs (media and communications processors). Depending on the application, NVIDIA SLI can deliver as much as two times the performance of a single GPU configuration. Standby mode: in this mode, the video and hard drives shut down; all other devices continue to operate normally. UltraDMA-33/66/100: a fast version of the old DMA channel. UltraDMA is also called UltraATA.

Technical Support If a problem arises with your system, you should first turn to your dealer for direct support. Your system has most likely been configured or designed 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 for you.
