    2. Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis Follow the instructions provided by the case manufacturer for proper installa- tion guidelines. TYAN recommends that you use only one screw to hold down the motherboard. The rest of the mounting holes should be used for the plastic standoffs.
  • Page 20 Chapter 2 Board Installation Figure 2-3 To install your DIMMs, line your module up so that the pins fit into the slot. There is only one way that your DIMM can fit properly. Make sure that the short row of pins is lined up with the short gap in the DIMM slot. Figure 2-3 above shows how to sit the DIMM into its slot.

The 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Modules) must be of the 3.3V, unbuffered variety. The position of the notch in the SDRAM key position will tell you whether or not a DIMM is unbuffered (see the Figure 2-5 below).

  • Page 25 Figure 2-11 Installing the CPU with Passive Cooling The installation of the CPU with passive cooling differs only slightly from that of the active. Your passive cooling package should contain one CPU retention module, one heat sink retention bracket with mounting locks, two mounting attachments, and one heat sink lock.Install the retention module as explained in the previous section.
  • Page 26 Chapter 2 Board Installation Align the CPU with the CPU retention module. Make sure the heat sink is lined up with the heat sink mount bracket. If you put the CPU in the wrong way, you may damage the CPU, the motherboard, and/or the CPU socket. Slowly press down on the CPU module until the CPU locks into place.
  • Page 27 SEC Pentium II SECC-2 Pentium II Figure 2-15 On both sides of the SECC-2 CPU reside the lower tabs of the aluminum heat sink and the bottom corners of the plastic CPU enclosure (see Figure 2-16). These tabs and corners should fit into the retention braces. Warning: DO NOT first screw the retention braces onto the motherboard by warning themselves.
  • Page 28 Chapter 2 Board Installation Currently, the retention module recommended for securing the SECC2 CPU (including P-III & Celeron) is included in the motherboard package. The retention braces consist of two small components that resemble ‘book-ends’. (See Figure 2-17 ) The first installation step is to set the retention braces properly against the sides of the CPU.
  • Page 29 Note: board pictured is used only to illustrate installation of CPU & retention mechanism, and may not be a Tiger 100. Figure 2-19 Be sure to line up the holes of the retention brace with the screws protruding from the motherboard. At the same time, make sure the CPU is lined up with the CPU slot.

    Chapter 2 Board Installation 5. Connecting IDE and Floppy Drives The colored stripe on a ribbon cable should face toward the battery on the motherboard. In Figure 2-21 below, you can see how the IDE cables should look when they are connected to your hard drive. Notice how Pin 1 (denoted by a red stripe) is connected so that it is next to the power connector of the drive.

  • Page 31: Connecting Floppy Drives

    Pin 1 Figure 2-22 Connecting Floppy Drives Pin 1 on the floppy cable is usually denoted by a red or colored stripe down one side of the cable (see Figure 2-23 below). Most of the current floppy drives on the market require that the colored stripe be positioned so that it is right next to the power connector.

In order to assure proper operation and a quick installation, adhere to these guidelines: • If you are going to install a PCI-Bus interface card on your system, be aware that any one of the two PCI slots can support a Master or Slave device.

  • Page 34: Connecting Ps/2, Serial, Parallel & Usb Devices

    Chapter 2 Board Installation 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.

Latency is the amount of time that one part of a system spends waiting for another part to catch up. This is most common when the system sends data out to a peripheral device, and is waiting for the peripheral to send some data back (peripherals tend to be slower than onboard system components).
