    2.5 - Installing the Processor(s) Your Tempest i5100W S5376 supports the latest processor technologies from Intel. Check the TYAN website for latest processor support: http://www.tyan.com Processor Installation (LGA771 Socket) The processor should be installed carefully. Make sure you are wearing an antistatic strap and handle the processor as little as possible.
  • Page 24 Lift the metal cover to expose the socket interior and place the socket in as shown. Pin 1 Close the cover and return the locking lever to its locked position. Repeat this procedure for the second processor socket. Turn the board upside down and insert the heat sink spring mechanism as shown.
  • Page 25 Repeat this procedure for the second processor. Cooling Fan Installation After you have installed the processor, the heatsink should be installed to ensure that the processor runs efficiently and does not overheat. Use the heatsink supplied for best results. Follow these instructions to install the heatsink shown. Apply some (a little will work, more doesn’t equal better performance) thermal compound to the top of the processor.

    Chapter 3: BIOS Setup 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.

  • Page 77: Glossary

    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.
  • Page 78 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).
  • Page 79 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 80 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.
  • Page 81 PnP (Plug-n-Play): a design standard that has become ascendant in the industry. Plug-n-Play devices require little set-up to use. Novice end users can simply plug them into a computer that is running on a Plug-n-Play aware operating system (such as Windows 98), and go to work. Devices and operating systems that are not Plug-n-Play require you to reconfigure your system each time you add or change any part of your hardware.
  • Page 82 Serial port: called as such because it transmits the eight bits of a byte of data along one wire, and receives data on another single wire (that is, the data is transmitted in serial form, one bit after another). SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module): formally the most common form of RAM for motherboards.

    Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA number should be prominently displayed on the outside of the shipping carton and the package should be mailed prepaid. TYAN will pay to have the board shipped back to you.
