Hello,
anybody an idea why Corsair DDR2-400 1024 reg. Memory (CM73DD1024R-400/S)
doesn't work in the board Thunder i7525. CM73DD1024R-400/M ist recommended
by Tyan, but the only difference is the Manufacturer of the Chips (in their
case Micron, in my case Samsung).
Beep code without memory is 4-4-1-2 with the memory installed nothing
happens! So I believe the board and the CPUs are working...
regards,
Clemens |

May we assume you've installed a pair of memory DIMMs...? The board won't
boot w/o a pair installed.
Beyond that, it might be a chip density, or board density issue. Are your
DIMMs populated on both sides with chips, or only one? Here's the Samsung
chip spec. page (scroll down to "Registered DIMM"):
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.samsung.com/Products/Semiconductor/DRAM/DDR2SDRAM/index.htm" target="_blank">http://www.samsung.com/Products/Semiconductor/DRAM/DDR2SDRAM/index.htm</a>
Here's Micron's:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.micron.com/products/modules/ddr2sdram/partlist.aspx?pincount=240-pin&version=Registered&package=DIMM" target="_blank">http://www.micron.com/products/modules/ddr2sdram/partlist.aspx?pincoun...40-pin&</a>
Corsair ironically doesn't list a /M or /S version of the CM73DD1024R-400
which leads me to believe the PCB for both offerings is the same. If in fact
the PCB is the same, a logical conclusion might be that chip densities are
also alike. That being the case, I can't imagine why your DIMMs won't work
unless there's a subtle difference in power consumption between the Micron
and Samsung chips...one that's taxing your PSU.

According to the manual the board will boot up with 1,2,4,6,8 installed
modules... I tried with 1, 2 and 4 identical modules.

The modules are constructed with chips "K4T51043QB" on both sides 9 each +

The modules are 1 rank modules. Does someody know whether the Modules sold
by Corsair with Micron modules are also 1 rank modules (single row on each
side) or 2 rank modules (double row on each side = total of 36 chips)?
....
Can follow your argument concerning the organisation but I have also seen
some changes years ago with Kingston 256MB SD-RAM - First double sided later
single sided with the same type number!!!
Does sombody know whether I can use DDR2-533 modules with the board so that
I can verify which bios is on the board (if these chips are working)?

I stand corrected, you're absolutely right.

Considering the problems you're experiencing with RAM of the same part
number (though different chip mfr.), I'd make sure I had the ability to
return any "test" RAM in case of incompatibility.
Keep us posted.

Hi Clemens,
i have the same problem with my new Tyan S2676 Mainboard!
With 1x or 2x Xeon CPUs and 1x or 2x Kingston 1GB RAM Modules in Bank
1 (KVR400D2R3/1G) there is no Beep code, but Xeons will become hot.
Without RAM i got Beep code: 4-4-1-2 (same like you)
With RAM in Bank 2,3 or 4 i get this Beep code: 4-3-4-4
I tested the System with and without Nvidia Quadro FX3400 (PCIe) and
an older PCI ATI GPU --> only black Screen, no "normal" System
Beep!
Then i tested my Kingston RAM within a new HP XW8200 Workstation
--> HP System boots fine!!!
My Nvidia Quadro runs fine too --> RAM and GPU is OK!
I am very confused with this Mainboard...
I don´t belive that all two CPUs are damaged or something like that.
Does anybody knows more about this strange Mainboard ?
Or could it be the Power Unit ?!?
Greetings from Austria

Solution:
Get working memory (i.e. 512MB modules), format a boot-disk and copy the
bios update on the disk.
Start the S2676 with this disk, perform the update!
After that you can swap to the new memory modules.
If you are not able to get a working module call your local Tyan support for
assistance.

Clemens >> Stay informed about: S2676 (Thunder i7525) Memory issue |

Clemens, DDR2-533?? I'm afraid u can only use DDR2-400 RAM modules for
your motherboard. 533 is for video cards. Hope u only mistyped.
Good luck,

Hi Wawa,
Hope u've already resolved your problem. If not, just put one of your
Kingston modules and upgrade the BIOS to 2.01 first & see whether this
fix your problem.

I have exactly the same problem (same RAM, same PSU): The screen stays blank
and no beep code with one or two modules installed. If I remove both modules
I get 4-4-1-2. I currently only have an old PCI graphics card (nVidia Riva
128) installed. Is using only a PCI graphics card supported with this board?
The sticker on the BIOS chip says version 1.03. I assume I have to contact
Tyan to get the current BIOS version to get things running. Was anyone able
to solve this problem, yet?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: S2676 (Thunder i7525) Memory issue |

I believe there is no problem!

Yes, I was! Upgrade your BIOS to 2,01 (you have to get working RAM - below
1GB modules - first or call tyan for assistance (new BIOS)!
Note: The BIOS chip is an SMT type socket - be carefull if you swap it with
the one you get from tyan.

I just received a new BIOS chip from Tyan, however it is still not working.
Also with the new BIOS chip I do not even get a beep code when no RAM is
installed.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: S2676 (Thunder i7525) Memory issue |

It is now working  Tyan asked me to send in the board for RMA and sent it
back with a working 2.01 BIOS.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: S2676 (Thunder i7525) Memory issue |
