Page 20: Installing The Power Supply
2.20– Installing the Power Supply There are three power connectors on your Tiger i7505 S2668. By default, the Tiger i7505 S2668 requires that you have an EPS12V power supply that has a 24-pin and an 8-pin power connector. However, the Tiger i7505 S2668 is also ATX12V compatible. All 3 power connectors need to be used if you plan on using the ATX12V power. -
Page 21: Attaching Ide And Floppy 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. -

SRAM instead of slower 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 48 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. 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 49 RAID level 1 also allows for faster access time and fault-tolerance, since either hard drive can be read at the same time. RAID level 0+1 is both striping and mirroring, providing fault-tolerance, striping, and faster access all at the same time. RAIDIOS: RAID I/O Steering (Intel) http://www.TYAN.com...
- Page 50 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 shifts the processor over and down, guiding it into the board and locking it into place. http://www.TYAN.com...
