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.

Modifying the memory configuration for a S4882 is fairly simple by following a few basic steps. - Page 28 Bank 0, low 64, even DIMM1 Not Used Bank 0, high 64 Bank 0, high 64, even DIMM2 Bank 1 Bank 1, low 64 Bank 0, low 64, DIMM3 Not Used Bank 1, high 64 Bank 0, high 64, http://www.TYAN.com...
- Page 29 To remove the memory module, simply push the latches outwards until the memory module pops up. Then remove the module. YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector from the NOTE motherboard before performing system hardware changes. Otherwise you may damage the board and/or expansion device. http://www.TYAN.com...

Page 30: Attaching Drive Cables
2.26 – Attaching Drive Cables Attaching the IDE drive cable is simple. These cables are “keyed” to only allow them to be connected in the correct manner. TYAN motherboards have two on-board IDE channels, each supporting two drives. The black connector designates the Primary channel, while the white connector designates the Secondary channel. - Page 31 Connections for these drives are also very simple. There is no need to set Master/Slave jumpers on SATA drives. Tyan has supplied four SATA cables and two SATA power adapter. If you are in need of other cables or power adapters please contact your place of purchase.
