Please note that both processors of the same type and frequency are required for optimal system performance. NOTE: TYAN is not liable for damage as a result of operating an unsupported configuration. Follow these instructions to install your processor. - Page 25 Please refer to Intel’s website at The following diagram illustrates how to install heat sink onto the CPU of S7020. Place the heat sink on top of the CPU and secure it to the motherboard using four screws clockwise. http://www.tyan.com...

Page 28: Tips On Installing Motherboard In Chassis
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. -
Page 29: Installing The Memory
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.

While this improves system performance --- reading to or writing from a disk drive a single time is much faster than doing so repeatedly --- there is also the possibility of losing your data should the system crash. Information stored in a buffer is temporarily stored, not permanently saved. http://www.tyan.com... - Page 90 DMA (Direct Memory Access): channels that are similar to IRQs. DMA channels allow hardware devices (like soundcards or keyboards) to access the main memory without involving the CPU. This frees up CPU resources for other tasks. As with http://www.tyan.com...
- Page 91 EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM): also called Flash BIOS, is a ROM chip which can, unlike normal ROM, be updated. This allows you to keep up with changes in the BIOS programs without having to buy a new chip. TYAN’s BIOS updates can be found at http://www.tyan.com ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data): a format for storing information about Plug-n-Play devices in the system BIOS.
- Page 92 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. http://www.tyan.com...
- Page 93 SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic RAM): called as such because it can keep two sets of memory addresses open simultaneously. By transferring data alternately from one set of addresses and then the other, SDRAM cuts down on the delays http://www.tyan.com...
