Every BIOS file is unique for the motherboard it was designed for. Always check to see if you have the newest BIOS available for your motherboard. For Flash Utilities, the newest BIOS downloads, and infor- mation on how to properly use the Flash Utility with your motherboard, you must check the Tyan website: http://www.tyan.com Please be aware that by flashing your BIOS, you agree that in the event of a BIOS flash failure, you must contact your dealer for a replacement BIOS. -
Page 44: Appendix I: Raid Installation
Visual concepts of RAID 0 (striping) and RAID 1 (mirroring) Concept of striping FastTrak100 1..2..3..4..5..6 HDDs controller Data Concept of mirroring FastTrak100 HDDs controller 1..2..3 Data * Promise recommends using identical drives ** performance varies depending on drives and systems http://www.tyan.com... - Page 45 By matching drives, you ensure compatibility as well. If you are planning to use an UDMA-66 or 100 drive, you must use an UltraDMA-66/100 cable (Tyan has included that cable with the motherboard). Also, if you are planning to use striping (RAID 0), we recommend you use two new drives. For mirroring (RAID 1), you should either use two new drives, or your old drive and a new drive (of the same size or larger than your current drive).

Page 50: Appendix Ii: Glossary
Information stored in a buffer is temporarily stored, not perma- nently saved. 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. http://www.tyan.com... - Page 51 As with IRQs, it is vital that you do not double up devices on a single line. Plug- n-Play devices will take care of this for you. Doze mode: in this mode, only the CPU’s speed is slowed. Tiger 200T S2505T...
- Page 52 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 53 Pipeline burst SRAM: a fast secondary cache. It is used as a secondary cache because SRAM is slower than SDRAM, but usually larger. Data is cached first to the faster primary cache, and then, when the pri- mary cache is full, to the slower secondary cache. Tiger 200T S2505T...
- Page 54 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). http://www.tyan.com...
- Page 55 ZIF socket (Zero Insertion Force socket): these sockets make it possible to insert CPUs without damag- ing the sensitive CPU pins. The CPU is lightly placed in an open ZIF socket, and the metal level is pulled down. This shifts the processor over and down, guiding it into place on the board. Tiger 200T S2505T...

You may obtain service by calling the manufacturer for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA number should be prominently dis- played 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. - Page 57 Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by manufacturer.
