Board Installation
rocking motion between the card and the slot and it will damage the
pins within the socket.
•
Make sure that the cards are seated securely into the slots.
•
Before turning on the system, make sure no cards are touching
each other or are shorting.
If you follow these basic guidelines, there shouldn't be any problems
with installation. However, if you do encounter any problems, have a
qualified professional install your cards for you or contact your card
manufacturer.
Remember, always read the manuals and installation notes that come
with the adapter cards. They contain important information which will
help you install the components right, the first time.
Next, you need to install your memory.
Since TYAN boards are manufactured with performance in mind, you
should use add-in components that match. Some DIMM modules may
seem to be high quality because of name or feel but that does not
guarantee real-world usability. Some cheaper or OEM memory may
have brand-name components, but they may be on inferior or substan-
dard parts which do not meet the critical tolerances our products
require. 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. If you buy a TYAN board, you are
getting the best system available. To make installation easy and trouble
free, get high quality parts. Some brands we recommend are Advantage
Memory, Corsair Microsystems, Millenium, Kingston Memory, QesTec
Incorporated, Unigen, Micron Technology, and Crucial Technology.
These DIMMs have proven to be very stable on our boards and perform
extremely well.
