Chapter 3: BIOS Setup Hyper Threading Technology 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 thread-level-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. Enabled / Disabled Thermal Management 2 Thermal Management throttles the processor back as it reaches its maximum operating temperature. Throttling reduces the number of processing cycles, thereby diminishing the heat dissipation of the CPU. Once the CPU has reached a safe operating temperature, thermal throttling is automatically disabled, and normal full speed processing begins again. The BIOS supports two types of thermal management. · Thermal Monitor 1: Thermal Monitor 1 uses a highly accurate on-die temperature sensing circuit in the CPU that has the ability to act quickly upon any thermal issues (~50ns). This circuitry keeps an eye on the most taxed areas of the CPU-die at all times and will quickly act upon temperatures going over the safety limits. The 3-13 http://www. tyan. com Tiger i7320 / Tiger i7320R Chapter 3: BIOS Setup · thermal monitor's control circuit, when active, lowers the CPU temperature by throttling the internal CPU clock speed. This is done with a 50% duty-cycle, which means that a 2GHz CPU will then effectively run at a 1GHz clock speed. Due to the fast response time of the thermal monitor circuit (~50ns) the CPU will only be `throttled' for a very brief period. [. . . ] PCI card that allows a RAID card to use the onboard SCSI chip, thus lowering cost of RAID solution ZIF Socket (Zero Insertion Force socket): these sockets make it possible to insert CPUs without damaging the sensitive CPU pins. The CPU is lightly placed in an open ZIF socket, and a lever is pulled down. This shift the processor over and down, guiding into the board and locking it into place. 6-6 http://www. tyan. com Tiger i7320 S5350 / Tiger i7320R S5350-1U Technical Support Technical Support If a problem arises with your system, you should turn to your dealer for help first. Your system has most likely been configured by them, and they should have the best idea of what hardware and software your system contains. [. . . ]
