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: The diagram is provided as a visual guide to help you install socket processors and may not be an exact representation of the processors you have. - Page 22 Tomcat i875PR S5102-P Chapter 2: Board Installation Heatsink Installation After you are done installing the processor, you should proceed to installing the heatsink. The heatsink will ensure that the processor does not overheat, and will continue to operate at maximum performance. An overheated processor is also dangerous to the long-term reliability of the motherboard.

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 Tomcat i875PR S5102-P Chapter 2: Board Installation Serial ATA Attaching Serial ATA cables to the Serial ATA connectors is illustrated below: Se rial ATA Hard drive Serial ATA Cable Serial ATA Connector Serial ATA Cable Power Cable Simply plug in the BLACK END of the Serial ATA cable into the motherboard Serial ATA connector, and the other end(s) into the drive(s).

Devices not in use can be turned off, reducing unnecessary power expenditure. - Page 69 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...
- Page 70 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 71 Tomcat i875PR S5102-P Appendix I: Glossary Latency: the amount of time that one part of a system spends waiting for another part to catch up. This is most common when the system sends data out to a peripheral device, and it waiting for the peripheral to send some data back (peripherals tend to be slower than onboard system components).
- Page 72 Tomcat i875PR S5102-P Appendix I: Glossary RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks): a way for the same data to be stored in different places on many hard drives. By using this method, the data is stored redundantly, also the multiple hard drives will appear as a single drive to the operating system. RAID level 0 is known as striping, where data is striped (or overlapped) across multiple hard drives, but offers no fault-tolerance.
