Frequently Asked Questions - TYAN Tsunami S1846S User Manual

Figure 2-26 above shows the ATX double row connectors on this board. The
Com and Printer ports, as well as the other ports, are labeled. The S1846SLA
also has Audio connectors (game, line-in, mic, spkr).
Note: Only TYAN cables will work on this motherboard. If you are using an
existing case with old cables, your system will not function properly.
You are done!
Other than checking the jumper settings and cable connections and putting
the case back on, you are done. Installing a new motherboard may sound
difficult, but by following these directions, you should have had a fairly
uneventful time installing our products. If you did encounter problems, your
dealer will be able to help you, or you can consult one of our many technical
support resources (see page 8).

Frequently Asked Questions

See the Tyan web site for more detailed FAQ.
Q: Why don't I get a display after I put in my old DIMM module?
A: The 440BX chipset requires the memory manufacturer to program an
EEPROM chip with SPD (Serial Presence Detection) on the module in order for
the BIOS to program the 440BX's timing registers properly. Your DIMM may
not have the EEPROM chip on the module, or the EEPROM may not contain
the correct program. Check with your memory vendor for details. The figure
below shows a DIMM module with an EEPROM chip.
Q: My system sometimes becomes unstable. How should I check the system?
A: The first thing to do is to check and see if you have any device conflict in
address, IRQ, or DMA. If you are using Windows 95, the Device Manager is a
good place to start. Please consult your operating system manual for details.
