Instructions on inserting a PCI card are also given. Take note of the precautions mentioned in this section when installing your system. 2.0.2 Work Area Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into components and cause malfunctions. Use containers to keep small components separated. Putting all small components in separate containers prevents them from becoming lost. Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components. 2.0.3 Tools The following procedures require only a few tools, including the following: • • A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver A grounding strap or an anti-static pad Most of the electrical and mechanical connections can be disconnected using your fingers. It is recommended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to remove connectors as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors. Chapter 2: Setting Up 21 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. 22 Chapter 2: Setting Up 2.1 Rack Mounting After installing the necessary components, the Tank GT25 can be mounted in a rack using the supplied rack mounting kit.

Chapter 2: Setting Up 43 NOTE 44 Chapter 2: Setting Up Chapter 3: Replacing Pre-Installed Components 3.1 Introduction This chapter explains how to replace pre-installed components including the motherboard, LED control board, HDD, and DVD-ROM drive. Take note of the precautions in this section when installing your system. 3.1.1 Work Area Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into components and cause malfunctions. Use containers to keep small components separated. Putting all small components in separate containers keeps them from becoming lost. Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components. 3.1.2 Tools The procedures that follow require only a few tools, including the following: • • A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver A grounding strap or an anti-static pad Most of the electrical and mechanical connections can be disconnected using your fingers. It is recommended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to remove connectors as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors. Chapter 3: Replacing Pre-Installed Components 45 3.1.3 Precautions Components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by 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 GT25 or injury to yourself. • Ground yourself properly before removing the top cover of the system. Unplug the power from your computer 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. 46 Chapter 3: Replacing Pre-Installed Components 3.2 Disassembly Flowchart The following flowchart outlines the disassembly procedure.

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. 4.1.1 Setup Basics The table below shows how to navigate in the setup program using the keyboard. Ke y Function Tab Moves from one selection to the next Left/Right Arrow Keys Changes from one m enu to the next Up/Down Arrow Keys Moves between selections Enter Opens highlighted section PgUp/PgDn Keys Chapter 4: BIOS Setup Changes settings. 67 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 information of BIOS updating. 68 Chapter 4: BIOS Setup 4.2 BIOS Main Menu In this section, you can alter general features such as the date and time, as well as access to the IDE configuration options. Note that the options listed below are for options that can directly be changed within the Main Setup screen. System Time / Date setup System Time: Adjusts the system clock. HH Hours (24hr. format) MM Minutes SS Seconds System Date: Adjusts the system date. MM Months DD Days YYYY Years Legacy Diskette A Defines the floppy drive type NONE / 360K, 5.25 in / 1.2 M, 5.25 in / 720 K, 3.5 in / 1.44 M, 3.5 in / 2.88 M, 3.5 in Chapter 4: BIOS Setup 69 System Memory This display allows you to change the amount of system memory present on the system. Extended Memory This displays/allows you to change the amount of extended memory present on the system. 4.2.1 IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave Setup Computer detects IDE drive type from drive C to drive F. Press Enter on any of the Primary/Master, Primary/Slave, Secondary/Master, Secondary/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. 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: Type Selects the type of device connected to the system. Auto / CD/DVD / Not Installed / ARMD 70 Chapter 4: BIOS Setup Multi-Sector Transfers This option allows you to specify the number of sectors per block for multiple sector transfers. 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. 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. Disabled / Mode 0 / Mode 1 / Mode 2 / Mode 3 / Mode 4 / Mode 5 Chapter 4: BIOS Setup 71 4.2.2 Boot Features This option allows setting boot parameters. Press Enter to view the Boot Features screen. Floppy Check This feature is used to verify floppy type on boot. Selecting “Disabled” will speed the boot process. Disabled / Enabled Summary Screen Enables or disables the display of the summary screen during boot up. When Summary Screen is Enabled (the default), a Phoenix BIOS Setup Utility summary 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. Disabled / Enabled Boot-time Diagnostic Screen This feature is used to display the diagnostic screen during the boot process. Enabled / Disabled Quick Boot Mode This BIOS feature allows you to decrease the time it takes to boot up the 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. Enabled / Disabled Extended Memory Testing Determines the tests that will be run on extended memory (memory above 1MB) during boot up. Normal / Just zero it / None POST Errors Select [Disable] if users don’t want to stop POST with any error. Enabled / Disabled Chapter 4: BIOS Setup 73 4.3 Advanced Menu This section facilitates configuring advanced BIOS options for your system. Installed OS Select the operating system installed on the PC. Note: An incorrect setting can cause the operating system to behave unpredictably. Win OS / Other 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 Chapter 4: BIOS Setup ally disable this feature after rebooting. Yes / No Large Disk Access Mode This option determines whether a hard drive with more than 1024 cylinders, more than 16 heads and or more than 64 tracks per sector is present on the system. Set this option to DOS if such a hard drive is present. Else, set this option to Other. Virtually, all modern hard disks have these characters so leave this option at DOS, unless you know otherwise.

Enabled / Disabled Legacy USB Support When Enabled, the BIOS takes the control of the USB ports. Enable this only if you run an OS that does not support USB (e.g. DOS) or when you have USB hardware like USB mice that you want to use even before the operating system loads. Enabled / Disabled 80 Chapter 4: BIOS Setup 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.

Chapter 4: BIOS Setup 93 NOTE 94 Chapter 4: BIOS Setup Chapter 5: Diagnostics 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.

Chapter 6: Setting Up SMDC 105 6.2 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 Chapter 6: Setting Up SMDC 107 6.2.2 Features of TYAN® Server Management Monitor various system components remotely - such as fans, processor temperature, and more 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. 108 Chapter 6: Setting Up SMDC Appendix I: Cable Connection Tables SAS / SATA Cables Table 1: B5381(with LSI SAS controller) M1210 Adapter Board Connect to Motherboard SAS 1 (J21) Æ SAS Connector (SAS2) SAS 2 (J22) SAS 3 (J23) SAS 4 (J24) Table 2: B5381 (without LSI SAS controller) M1210 Adapter Board Connect to Motherboard SAS 1 (J21) Æ SATA Connector (J8) SAS 2 (J22) SAS 3 (J23) SAS 4 (J24) Power Supply Cables Table 3: Power Supply to Motherboard Power Supply Connect to Motherboard P1 24-pin power cable Æ CN5 24-pin connector P2 8-pin power cable Æ CN6 8-pin connector Table 4: Power Supply to M1210 Adapter Board Power Supply Connect to M1210 P4 4-pin power cable Æ PW1 4-pin connector P5 4-pin power cable Æ PW2 4-pin connector Appendix I 109 Other Cables Table 5: M1210 Adapter Board to Motherboard M1210 Connect to Motherboard J16 (FPIO_140) connector Æ J1 Table 6: M1003 Front Panel Control Board Related Cable M1003 J1 USB connector M1210 J15 connector Æ Table 7: DVD-ROM Related Cable M1210 IDE1 (DVD-ROM) connector Æ DVD-ROM Backplane M1210 J11 power connector Æ DVD-ROM Backplane Table 8: FDD Related Cable (Optional) M1210 J2 (FDD) connector 110 Æ Slim FDD drive Appendix I Appendix II: How to Make a Driver Diskette Follow the steps below to make a driver diskette from the TYAN® driver CD provided 1.
