Page 16: Installing Memory
Please keep in mind that although some memory modules may appear to be high-quality, they may con- tain inferior or substandard parts. The type of memory you choose to install should be checked against the memory compatibility list, which is available from Tyan’s website at http://www.tyan.com Memory Installation Procedure Here are some details of memory installation for this board: At least two registered DIMMs must be installed for the system to POST. - Page 17 Your memory configuration may differ from one or more of the combinations shown below. 4GB Total Memory Possible 64MBx1 256MBx1 512MBx1 512MBx1 512MBx1 1024MBx1 128MBx1 512MBx1 512MBx1 1024MBx1 1024MBx1 64MBx1 256MBx1 512MBx1 512MBx1 512MBx1 1024MBx1 128MBx1 512MBx1 512MBx1 1024MBx1 1024MBx1 128MB 256MB 512MB 1024MB 1024MB 2048MB 3072MB 4096MB Thunder HEsl S2567...

Page 18: Installing The Cpu And Cooling Fan
2.9 Installing the CPU and Cooling Fan Intel Pentium III FC-PGA processors* (500 MHz through 1 GHz) can be used on this board. For more information on CPU compatibility, check Tyan’s website at: http://www.tyan.com. When installing your CPU, remember the following:... - Page 19 CPU socket. Also pay attention to the shape of the bottom of the CPU fan(s): some are built specifically to fit only one way. Tyan highly recommends that you use some type of thermal compound (available from computer retail stores), between the CPU and heat sink, to maximize distribution of heat away from the CPU.

Page 25: Connecting The Power Supply
2.13 Connecting the power supply This motherboard requires an ATX power supply. Tyan recommends using a 250W or higher power sup- ply that also conforms to industry standard Revision 2.01. The images below show the ATX power con- nector before (Figure 2.8a) and after (Figure 2.8b) it has been plugged in. The clip on the power connector should lock over the tab on the onboard connector. -
Page 26: Frequently Asked Questions (Faq)
A: Contact the place of purchase or your distributor for assistance to return the motherboard for service. RMA issues will NOT be handled via e-mail by Tyan Tech Support. Please refer to the URL link here for more details: http://www.tyan.com/support/html/rma_faq.html Q: How do I upgrade my BIOS? A: Check the section about the Flash Utility (see p.38) for information on upgrading your BIOS. -
