  • Page 15: Mounting The Motherboard

    If there are any studs missing, you will know right away since the motherboard will not be able to be securely installed. 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.
  • Page 16: Installing The Memory

    Before attempting to install any memory, make sure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard as well as the processor. Critically important is whether you’re using the recommended memory for the current board you have. For this information, please check Tyan’s web site at: www.tyan.com...
  • Page 17 Memory Installation Procedure The Tiger i7501 S2723 requires that memory modules be installed in pairs. Please check T yan’s website for updates to memory config uration. Please refer to the next page for exact details on installing memory modules correctly.
  • Page 18 Use ONLY x8 or x4 type memory modules. Mixing memory types may affect stability. 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB Registered ECC PC2100/PC1600 DDR SDRAM memory modules are supported in x4 or x8 configuration. The Tiger i7501 S2723 supports up to 8GB of memory with 2GB registered DDR modules. http://www.TYAN.com...
  • Page 19: Installing The Processors & Heatsinks

    2.11 – Installing the Processor and Heatsink Your Tiger i7501 S2723 supports the latest processor technologies from Intel. Check the following page on TYAN’s website for latest processor support: http://www.Tyan.com The following diagrams will detail how to install your processor(s): The processors you choose to use may not look exactly like the one pictured above, nor will the socket look exactly the same.
  • Page 20 NOTE: The back-plates must be installed prior to installing the motherboard into a chassis. (Certain 1U chassis may not require the back-plates.) Align the heatsink mounting bracket to the holes around the processor socket Insert screws into bracket holes http://www.TYAN.com...
  • Page 21: Installing Cpu Backplates

    NOTE: The hexagonal nut MUST be on the viewable side of the CPU back-plate as shown below! After installing the CPU, seat the heatsink between brackets on processor Attach heatsink retaining arms by locking them in the hook as shown below. http://www.TYAN.com...
  • Page 22 Finishing Installing the Heatsink After you finish installing the heatsink, attach the end wire of the fan (already be attached to the heatsink) to the motherboard. This diagram illustrates how to connect fans onto the motherboard. http://www.TYAN.com...
  • Page 23: Attaching Drive Cables

    Attaching IDE drive cabling 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 24 Usually signifies that the cable on the drive is on backwards, which is a common issue. Drive activity light is constantly on Reverse the cable at the floppy drive end and try again. http://www.TYAN.com...
  • Page 25: Installing Add-In Cards

    This allows air to more easily circulate within the chassis, providing improved cooling for all installed devices. YOU MUST unplug the power connector to the motherboard before performing NOTE system hardware changes, to avoid damaging the board or expansion device. http://www.TYAN.com...
  • Page 26: Connecting External Devices

    The following diagram will detail the ATX port stack for the following board: Tiger i7501 S2723 Besides being used primarily to connect printers, the Printer Port is also used for devices such as Zip drive, some external CD-RW drives and or other external devices.

    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 BIO S updates can be found at http://www.TYAN.com EMRL: Embedded RAID Logic.
  • 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...
  • Page 47: Appendix Iii: Smdc Information

    Tyan SMDC is not a peripheral card. Unlike regular peripheral card such as AGP card, Network card or SCSI card, SMDC does not require any hardware specific driver. As long as a standby power comes into the system, SMDC will begin looking after the system.
