Page 18: Installing The Memory
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 19 The following diagram shows the common types of RAM modules you may encounter depending on your board: Here are a few key points to note before installing memory into your Tomcat K8SH: • AMD Opteron processors support 64bit (non-interleaved) or 128bit (interleaved) memory configurations •...

Page 25: Attaching Drive Cables
IDE Drives Attaching IDE drive cabling is simple. The cable is “keyed” to only allow it to be connected in the correct manner. Tyan motherboards have one on-board IDE channel, and it supporting two drives. Attaching IDE cables to the IDE connectors is illustrated below: Simply plug in the BLUE END of the IDE cable into the motherboard IDE connector, and the other end(s) into the drive(s). - Page 26 SATA Drivers The Tomcat K8SH may be also equipped with 4 Serial ATA (SATA) channels. 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 for boards equipped with SATA"...
