Page 6: Chapter 2: Board Installation
Chapter 2: Board Installation Installation You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of the Trinity i845DDR matches the ATX system board specifications. Your chassis should support a standard ATX motherboard form factor. How to install our products right… the first time The first thing you should do is read this user’s manual. -

ATX form factor. While this ensures general compatibility, your TYAN product is specialized and may require you to install a few extra studs. If you’re not sure which stud goes where, simply lay the motherboard inside the chassis, aligning the screw holes of the motherboard to the studs inside the case. -
Page 11: Installing The Memory
The following diagram shows the types of RAM modules you may encounter depending on your board: Here are a few key points to note before installing memory into your Trinity i845DDR: At least ONE DDR SDRAM module mus t be installed for the system to turn on and POST (power on self test). - Page 12 – to push the modules into their socket. To avoid bending and damaging your motherboard, place it on its anti-static bag and onto a flat surface, and then proceed to install the memory modules. This way you’ll avoid motherboard damage even if you use too much force. http://www.tyan.com...

2.9 – Installing the Processor(s) and Heatsinks Your brand new Trinity i845DDR supports the latest processor technologies from Intel. All the latest Pentium 4 (socket 478) processors from 1.5GHz to 2.2GHz (check the Tyan website for updates) can be used on this board. - Page 14 Once the bracket is aligned, press down on the four white pegs on the bracket until they insert securely, locking bracket onto motherboard. Then proceed to installing the heatsink. Instructions on how to install heatsinks should be provided with the heatsink itself. http://www.tyan.com...

Page 15: Attaching Drive Cables
2.10 – Attaching Drive Cables Attaching IDE cables to your drives are simple because they only go in one way. TYAN motherboards have two on-board IDE channels for you to use, each supporting two drives. There is a white and a black IDE connector on your motherboard. -
Page 16: Installing Add-In Cards
NOTE YOU MUST unplug the power connector to the motherboard before performing system hardware changes, to avoid having your motherboard boot-up automatically, due to the PCI v2.2 spec. http://www.tyan.com... -
Page 17: Connecting External Devices
2.13 – Installing the Power Supply. There is one power connector on your Trinity i845DDR. By default, the Trinity i845DDR only requires that you have a standard ATX 2.03 power supply unlike other Pentium 4 boards that require the small 4-pin square connector as well as the standard 20-pin ATX connector. -

BIOS is having difficulty initializing the video display. Any other beep sequences that may or may not occur are probably due to memory problems. If calling TYAN Tech Support, be sure that you know how many beeps your board made, and how long the beeps were. Also have other information such as your attached add-in cards, drives and OS to help speed up the support process and come to a possible solution faster. -

SRAM instead of in the slow DRAM. Note that the cache is also much smaller than your regular memory: a typical cache size is 512KB, while you may have as much as 4GB of regular memory. http://www.tyan.com... - Page 29 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 30 Form factor: an industry term for the size, shape, power supply type, and external connector type of the Personal Computer Board (PCB) or motherboard. The standard form factors are the AT and ATX, although TYAN also makes some Baby-AT and ATX Footprint boards. Global timer: onboard hardware timer, such as the Real-Time Clock (RTC).
- Page 31 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 32 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. http://www.tyan.com...
