Page 6: Chapter 2: Board Installation
(1) Ground yourself properly before removing your motherboard from the antistatic bag. Unplug the power from your computer power supply and then touch a safely grounded object to release static charge (i.e. power supply case). For the safest conditions, TYAN recommends wearing a static safety wrist strap. -

Page 16: 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 17: Installing The Memory
133MHz. For this, PC2100 DDR modules are required. 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. The following diagram shows the types of RAM modules you may encounter. -
Page 18: Installing The Processor And Heatsink
2.16 – Installing the Processor and Heatsink Your brand new Tomcat K7M supports the latest processor technologies from AMD. Check TYAN’s website for latest processor support: http://www.TYAN.com The following diagrams will detail how to install your processor: The processor you choose to use may not look exactly like the one pictured above, nor will the socket look exactly the same. -
Page 19: Attaching Drive Cables
2.17 – Attaching Drive Cables Attaching IDE cables to your drives is simple because they only go in one way. TYAN motherboards have two on-board IDE channels for you to use, each supporting two drives. There is a white and a black IDE connector on your motherboard. - Page 20 Drive A:). Refer to your floppy drive’s installation instructions (if available), or contact your dealer if you are unsure about how to attach the floppy drive(s). Remember, you can only have 2 floppy drives connected at any given time. http://www.TYAN.com...

SRAM instead of in the slower DRAM. Note that the cache is also much smaller than your system memory: a typical cache size is 512KB, while you may have as much as 4GB or more of system memory. http://www.TYAN.com... - Page 57 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 replace the BIOS chip. TYAN’s BIOS updates can be found at http://www.TYAN.com.
- Page 58 (peripherals tend to be slower than onboard system components). Mirroring: see RAID. NVRAM: ROM and EEPROM are both examples of Non-Volatile RAM, memory that holds its data without power. DRAM, in contrast, is volatile. http://www.TYAN.com...

The CPU is lightly placed in an open ZIF socket, and a lever is pulled down. This shifts the processor over and down, guiding into the board and locking it into place. http://www.TYAN.com...
