The Tsunami AT has both AT and ATX power supply connectors. The soft power on/off functions of Windows 9x and Wake on LAN are only supported with ATX power supplies. The photos on the next page show the ATX power connector before (Figure 1) and after (Figure 2) it has been plugged in.
- Page 11 After connecting the power, make sure the connector is seated firmly into its socket so it will not become loose or fall off when the computer is jostled or moved. Note: Tyan recommends using an ATX power impor- tant! supply that conforms to industry standard revision 2.01.

- Page 15 On most TYAN cables, there should be a pin missing on the motherboard. This is normal since it lines up with a key pin on the I/O connectors.
- Page 16 Because of this, your memory may not work correctly in a TYAN board though it may work well in a competitor’s board. This is because many of our competitors do not adhere to the strict tolerances required for high performance.
