  • 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 17 These studs are usually metal and are gold in color. Usually, the chassis manufacturer will pre-install the support studs. - Memory Type: The S2707 Trinity GC-SL only supports Registered DDR memory with ECC. Non-registered or non-ECC DDR memory modules will NOT be supported.
  • Page 18: Installing The Memory

    The following diagram shows the types of RAM modules you may encounter depending on your board: Here are a few key points to note before installing memory into your Trinity GC-SL: At least ONE Registered DDR module with ECC must be installed for the system...
  • Page 19 To avoid bending and damaging your motherboard, place it on its anti-static bag and onto a flat surface, and then proceed with memory installation. YOU MUST unplug the power connector to the motherboard before performing NOTE system hardware changes, to avoid damaging the board or expansion device. http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 20: Installing The Processor & Heatsink

    Pentium 4 processors are supported by this motherboard. Check www.TYAN.com for CPU compatibility information. NOTE: Tyan is not liable for damage as a result of operating an unsupported configuration. The processor you choose may not look exactly like the one pictured above, nor will the socket look exactly the same.
  • Page 21 Once the bracket is aligned, press down on the four white pegs on the bracket until they insert securely, locking bracket onto motherboard. Then proceed to installing the heatsink. Instructions on how to install heatsinks should be provided with the heatsink itself. http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 22: 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 23 Usually signifies that the cable on the drive is on backwards, which is a common issue. Drive activity light is constantly on Reverse the cable at the floppy drive end and try again. http://www.tyan.com...

    Before continuing onto the next section on connecting External Devices, make sure everything is properly connected. Typically, jumpers and case wiring are the most common causes of troubleshooting frustration, http://www.tyan.com...

  • Page 27: Finishing Up

    In the rare circumstance that you have experienced difficulty, even though the instructions herein were followed, you can find help by asking your vendor for assistance. If they are not available for assistance, please find setup information and documentation online at our website or by calling your vendor’s support line. http://www.tyan.com...

    (hard drive, CD-ROM, etc). If one is found, the BIOS will launch that operating system and hand control over to it. You can enter the BIOS setup by pressing the [Delete ] key when the machine boots up and begins to show the memory count. http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 29 Chipset section unless you are absolutely sure of the outcome. The Chipset defaults were carefully chosen by Tyan or your system manufacturer for the best performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup options may cause the system to become unstable or unusable.

  • Page 33: Chapter 4: Diagnostics

    Please check our website for memory compatibility. Before calling your vendor or calling TYAN Tech Support, be sure that you know how many beeps your board made, and how long the beeps were. Also have other information such as your attached add-in cards, drives and OS to help speed up the support process and come to a possible solution faster.

    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 35 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 36 PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect): a 32 or 64-bit local bus (data pathway) which is faster than the ISA bus. Local buses are those which operate within a single system (as opposed to a network bus, which connects multiple systems). http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 37 Serial port: called as such because it transmits the eight bits of a byte of data along one wire, and receives data on another single wire (that is, the data is transmitted in serial form, one bit after another). Sleep/Suspend mode: in this mode, all devices except the CPU shut down. http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 38 ZIF Socket (Zero Insertion Force socket): these sockets make it possible to insert CPUs without damaging the sensitive CPU pins. 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...

    Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA number should be prominently displayed on the outside of the shipping carton and the package should be mailed prepaid. Tyan will pay to have the board shipped back to you. http://www.tyan.com...
