2.0.4 Precautions
Components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged
by discharges of static electricity. Working on a system that is
connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous.
Follow the guidelines below to avoid damage to the
Tank GT25 or injury to yourself.
•
Ground yourself properly before removing the top
cover of the system. Unplug the power from the
power supply and then touch a safely grounded
object to release static charge (i.e. power supply
case). If available, wear a grounded wrist strap. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching
the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare
metal body of any other grounded appliance.
•
Avoid touching motherboard components, IC chips,
connectors, memory modules, and leads.
•
The motherboard is pre-installed in the system.
When removing the motherboard, always place it on
a grounded anti-static surface until you are ready to
reinstall it.
•
Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do
not touch the components on the board unless it is
necessary to do so. Do not flex or stress circuit
boards.
•
Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they ship with until they are ready for installation.
•
After replacing optional devices, make sure all
screws, springs, or other small parts are in place and
are not left loose inside the case. Metallic parts or
metal flakes can cause electrical shorts.
Notes:
• All connectors are keyed to only attach one way.
• Always use the correct screw size as indicated in the
procedures.

Chapter 4: BIOS Setup
4.1
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. 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.
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 are subject to change, 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 even when the
power is turned off.
To start the BIOS setup utility:
1. Turn on or reboot your system.
2. Press <F2> during POST (F4 on remote console) to start
the BIOS setup utility.

4.1.2 Getting Help
Pressing [F1] will display 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.
4.1.3 In Case of Problems
If you have trouble booting your computer after making and
saving the changes with the BIOS setup program, you can
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 absolutely sure of what you
are doing. The Chipset defaults have been carefully chosen
either by TYAN or your system manufacturer for best performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the
Chipset setup options may cause the system to become
unstable or unusable.
4.1.4 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.
NOTE: The following pages provide the details of BIOS
menu. Please be noticed that the BIOS menu are continually
changing due to the BIOS updating. The BIOS menu provided are the most updated ones when this manual is written.
Please visit Tyan’s website at http://www.tyan.com for the

16 Sectors / 2 Sectors / 4 Sectors / 8 Sectors /Disabled
LBA Mode Control
Enables or disables LBA 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.
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.

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.

72
Chapter 4: BIOS Setup
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 SystemConfiguration 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 manu74

ally disable this feature after rebooting.

option to Other. Virtually, all modern hard disks have these characters so
leave this option at DOS, unless you know otherwise.

4.3.2 Advanced Processor Control
This section allows you to fine-tune the processor options.
Hyperthreading
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 threadlevel-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.

NOTE: If you experience problems with setting up your system, always check the folowing things in the following order:
Memory, Video, CPU
By checking these items, you will most likely find out what the
problem might have been when setting up your system. For
more information on troubleshooting, check the TYAN® website at: http://www.tyan.com.
5.1
Beep Codes
Fatal errors, which halt the boot process, are communicated
through two kinds of audible beeps.
•
A single loong beep followed by two short beeps: It
indicates that a video error has occurred and the
BIOS can’t initialize the video screen to display and
any additional info.
•
A single long beep repeatedly: This incidates that a
DRAM error has occurred.
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.

SMDC Information
6.2.1 Overview
TYAN® Server Management Daughter Card (SMDC) is a
powerful yet cost-efficient solution for high-end server management hardware packages. TYAN®’s goal is to provide
remote system monitoring and control even when the operating system is absence of simply fails. This empowers
TYAN®’s server board with advanced industrial-standard features.
TYAN® SMDC is a snap-in card that provides essential
server management solution. It enables any IT Manager by
providing multi-interfaces to access the hardware remotely
and perform monitor, control and diagnose activities effectively.
TYAN® SMDC is not a peripheral card. Unlike regular peripheral card such as AGP card, Network card or SCSI card,
SMDC does not require any hardware specific driver. As long
as a standby power comes into the system, SMDC will begin
looking after the system.
TYAN® SMDC provides diversified methods to communicate
with the hardware. IT manager has the flexibility to choose
among Keyboard Controller Style (KCS), Block Transfer (BT)
style, Intelligent Chassis Management Bus (ICMB), Intelligent
Platform Management Bus (IPMB), emergency Management
Port (EMP) and standard IPMI-Over-LAN communication as
defined in latest IPMI 1.5 specification.
TYAN® SMDC is compatible with all IPMI-compliance software as well as TYAN® System OperatorTM (TSO) software
package.
106
Chapter 6: Setting Up SMDC
By adding SMDC, TYAN®’s server board becomes a highly
manageable and IPMI compatible system with all the
advanced features suggesting in IPMI Spec.
More detailed information on TYAN®’s SMDC can be found
on our web site at: http://www.tyan.com

Remote power on and power off
Console redirect
-the ability to view system remotely
Alert and error actions
-such as audible beep, e-mail, power down and reboot
SMDC runs on stand-by power
-the SMDC will continue to function, even if the system
is not powered on
6.2.3 How SMDC and TSO Work
The brief descriptions below will help explain how these items
function.
Agent – a system with SMDC installed
The SMDC is installed in the Agent system that uses a
compatible/supported Tyan motherboard.
Manager – manages the Agent
The Manger is set up to manage the Agent that has the
SMDC.
The Manager and Agent should be located in the same
place.
Console – communicates with Manager
The Console is used to monitor and control the Agent
through the Manager.

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. Furthermore, if you purchased your system from a
dealer near you, take the system to them directly to have it
serviced instead of attempting to do so yourself (which can
have expensive consequences).
