Page 27: 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 28: Installing The Memory
•All installed memory will be automatically detected and no jumpers or settings need to be set. •The Tomcat K8E supports up to 4GB of memory. •Registered Memory is not supported. * Not validated at the time of print and subject to change. - Page 29 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 motherboard before performing system hardware changes. NOTE Otherwise you may damage the board and/or expansion device. http://www.TYAN.com...

Page 30: Attaching Drive Cables
Attaching Serial ATA Cables The Tomcat K8E is 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. - Page 31 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. The following pictures illustrate how to connect an SATA drive 1.SATA drive cable connection 2.
