  • Page 25: Tips On Installing Motherboard In Chassis

    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. Below is a chart detailing what the most common motherboard studs look like and how they should be installed.

  • Page 26: Installing The Memory

    The following diagram shows common types of DDR SDRAM modules: Here are a few key points to note before installing memory into your Tiger K8W: • Always install memory beginning with DIMM1 •...
  • Page 27 To remove the memory module, simply push the latches outwards until the memory module pops up. Then remove the module. YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector from the NOTE motherboard before performing system hardware changes. Otherwise you may damage the board and/or expansion device. http://www.TYAN.com...

  • Page 28: Attaching Drive Cables

    2.30 – Attaching Drive Cables Attaching the IDE drive cable 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 29 Connections for these drives are also very simple. There is no need to set Master/Slave jumpers on SATA drives. Tyan has supplied two SATA cables and one SATA power adapter. If you are in need of other cables or power adapters please contact your place of purchase.

  • Page 31: Connecting External Devices

    Blink 2.33 – Installing the Power Supply There are three power connectors on your Tiger K8W S2875. By default, the Tiger K8W S2875 requires that you have an EPS12V power supply that has a 24-pin and an 8-pin power connector. However, the Tiger K8W S2875 is also ATX12V compatible. All 3 power connectors need to be used if you plan on using the ATX12V power.

    CPU (similar to DMA channels). Cache: a temporary storage area for data that will be needed often by an application. Using a cache lowers data access times since the information is stored in SRAM instead http://www.TYAN.com...
  • Page 65 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 66 IDE drives. These modes use the CPU for data transfer (in contrast, DMA channels do not). PCI refers to the type of bus used by these modes to communicate with the CPU. PCI-to-PCI bridge: allows you to connect multiple PCI devices onto one PCI slot. http://www.TYAN.com...
  • Page 67 SDRAM (Static RAM): unlike DRAM, this type of RAM does not need to be refreshed in order to prevent data loss. Thus, it is faster and more expensive. Standby mode: in this mode, the video and hard drives shut down; all other devices continue to operate normally. http://www.TYAN.com...
