2.16 Installing the CPU and Cooling Fan Intel Pentium III processors up to 1.2GHz can be used on this board. For more information on CPU compatibility, check TYAN’s website at http://www.TYAN.com/ When installing your CPU, remember the following:... - Page 14 +12V 0.3A Speed The FAN connector has a 12V, 0.3A limitation. TYAN takes no responsibility and NOTE will not be held liable for damage related to the misuse of any FAN jumper. Alternatively, if you wish to also install chassis fans for increased cooling, headers are provided to power those fans as well.
- Page 15 Only TYAN-approved cables are recommended for this motherboard. If you are using an existing configuration with older cables, your system might not function NOTE properly.

RAID controller. For best performance, we recommend that you use drives of identical model and capacity. By matching drives, you ensure compatibility as well. If you are planning to use an UDMA-66 or 100 drive, you must use an UltraDMA-66/100 cable (TYAN has included that cable with the motherboard). - Page 28 ATA-66 cable connects to Pin 1 of the IDE connector (see p. 10 for location).

BIOS is having difficulty initializing the video display. Any other beep sequences that may or may not occur are probably due to memory problems. If calling TYAN Tech Support, be sure that you know how many beeps your board made, and how long the beeps were. Also have other information such as your attached add-in cards, drives and OS to help speed up the support process and come to a possible solution faster. - Page 40 Pentium II PIID1 VRM Temp Set sensor Reading in type to 2N3904 +12V Main +12V Resistor Reading * divider 0.016 * ratio: 28, 10 (28+10)/10 Main +5V Direct input Reading * 0.016 +3.3V Main +3.3V Direct input Reading * 0.016 http://www.TYAN.com...

- Page 42 SRAM instead of in the slow DRAM. Note that the cache is also much smaller than your regular memory: a typical cache size is 512KB, while you may have as much as 4GB of regular memory. http://www.TYAN.com...
- Page 43 EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM): also called Flash BIOS, 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. TYAN’s BIOS updates can be found at http://www.TYAN.com ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data): a format for storing information about Plug-n- Play devices in the system BIOS.
- Page 44 Form factor: an industry term for the size, shape, power supply type, and external connector type of the Personal Computer Board (PCB) or motherboard. The standard form factors are the AT and ATX, although TYAN also makes some Baby-AT and ATX Footprint boards. Global timer: onboard hardware timer, such as the Real-Time Clock (RTC).
- Page 45 SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic RAM): called as such because it can keep two sets of memory addresses open simultaneously. By transferring data alternately from one set of addresses and then the other, SDRAM cuts down on the delays associated with non-synchronous RAM, which must close one address bank before opening the next. http://www.TYAN.com...
- Page 46 ZIF Socket (Zero Insertion Force socket): these sockets make it possible to insert CPUs without damaging the sensitive CPU pins. The CPU is lightly placed in an open ZIF socket, and a lever is pulled down. This shift the processor over and down, guiding into the board and locking it into place. http://www.TYAN.com...
