Page 12: Mounting The Motherboard
If there are any studs missing, you will know right away since the motherboard will not be able to be securely installed. Some chassis’ include plastic studs instead of metal. These are also usable, however Tyan recommends using metal studs with screws to make sure the motherboard stays secure during shipment of while moving the system. -
Page 13: Installing The Memory
133MHz. For this, PC2100 DDR modules are required. Critically important is whether you’re using the recommended memory for the current board you have. For this information, please check Tyan’s web site at: www.tyan.com The following diagram shows the types of RAM modules you may encounter depending on your board. - Page 14 2.12 – Important Memory Module Information The Trinity i845E has four DIMM sockets, but it only supports a maximum of four banks of DDR memory (only support 64-Mb, 128-Mb, 256-Mb and 512-Mb technologies for x 8 and x16 devices ).

Page 16: Installing The Processors/Heatsink
2.14 – Installing the Processor and Heatsink Your brand new Trinity i845E supports the latest processor technologies from Intel. Check TYAN’s website for latest processor support: http://www.tyan.com The following diagrams will detail how to install your processor: The processor you choose to use may not look exactly like the one pictured above, nor will the socket look exactly the same. -
Page 17: Attaching Drive Cables
2.15 – Attaching Drive Cables Attaching IDE cables to your drives is 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 18 Before continuing onto section 2.16 – Connecting External Devices, make sure everything is properly connected. Things like jumpers and case wiring are the NOTE most common causes of troubleshooting frustrations, both for the end-user and for any company doing technical support. http://www.tyan.com...
-
Page 19: Connecting External Devices
The standard devices you should expect to plug into the motherboard are keyboards, mice, and printer cables. The following diagram will detail the ATX port stack for the following board: S2099 Trinity i845E Depending on the individual motherboard design, the PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports may sometimes have their positions swapped. -
Page 20: Installing The Power Supply
2.17 – Installing the Power Supply There are two power connectors on your Trinity i845E. By default, the Trinity i845E requires that you have an ATX 12Vpower supply that has a 20-pin and a 4-pin power connector. Please be aware that EPS 12V and dual AMD (20+4-pin) power supplies are not compatible with the board. -

Page 41: Chapter 5: Diagnostics
Please check our website for memory compatibility. Before calling your vendor or 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. - Page 42 YOU MUST unplug the power connector to the motherboard before performing NOTE system hardware changes, to avoid having your motherboard boot-up automatically, due to the PCI v2.2 spec. http://www.tyan.com...
- Page 43 SRAM instead of in the slower DRA M. Note that the cache is also much smaller than your system memory: a typical cache size is 512KB, while you may have as much as 4GB or more of system memory. http://www.tyan.com...
- Page 44 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 replace the BIOS chip. Tyan’s BIOS updates can be found at http://www.tyan.com.
- Page 45 PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect): a 32 or 64-bit local bus (data pathway) which is faster than the ISA bus. Local buses are those which operate within a single system (as opposed to a network bus, which connects multiple systems). http://www.tyan.com...
- Page 46 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). Sleep/Suspend mode: in this mode, all devices except the CPU shut down. http://www.tyan.com...
- Page 47 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 shifts the processor over and down, guiding into the board and locking it into place. http://www.tyan.com...
