Once you have finished installing all the fans you can connect your drives (hard drives, CD-ROM drives, etc.) to your motherboard. http://www.TYAN.com... -
Page 25: Tips On Installing Motherboard In Chassis
Some chassis’ include plastic studs instead of metal. Although the plastic studs are usable, TYAN recommends using metal studs with screws that will fasten the motherboard more securely in place. Below is a chart detailing what the most common motherboard studs look like and how they should be installed. -
Page 26: Installing The Memory
The Tiger K8W supports up to 8GB.* * Not validated at the time of print; subject to change. This chart outlines the rules for populating memory (Note: X indicates a populated DIMM Slot) DIMM Slot 128Bit support 64-Bit Support DIMM1 DIMM2 DIMM3 DIMM4 http://www.TYAN.com... - Page 27 To remove the memory module, simply push the latches outwards until the memory module pops up. Then remove the module. YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector from the NOTE motherboard before performing system hardware changes. Otherwise you may damage the board and/or expansion device. http://www.TYAN.com...

Page 28: Attaching Drive Cables
2.30 – Attaching Drive Cables Attaching the IDE drive cable is simple. These cables are “keyed” to only allow them to be connected in the correct manner. TYAN motherboards have two on-board IDE channels, each supporting two drives. The black connector designates the Primary channel, while the white connector designates the Secondary channel. - Page 29 Connections for these drives are also very simple. There is no need to set Master/Slave jumpers on SATA drives. Tyan has supplied two SATA cables and one SATA power adapter. If you are in need of other cables or power adapters please contact your place of purchase.

Page 32: Installing The Power Supply
2.34 – Installing the Power Supply There are three power connectors on your Tiger K8W S2875. By default, the Tiger K8W S2875 requires that you have an EPS12V power supply that has a 24-pin and an 8-pin power connector. However, the Tiger K8W S2875 is also ATX12V compatible. All 3 power connectors need to be used if you plan on using the ATX12V power. -

NOTE exceptions. Tyan does not have a policy for replacing BIOS chips directly with end users. In no event will Tyan be held responsible for damages done by the end user.

This frees up CPU resources for other tasks. 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. http://www.TYAN.com...
- Page 66 EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM): also called Flash BIOS, it 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.
