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 13: Mounting The Motherboard
If there are any studs missing, you will know right away since the motherboard will not be able to be securely installed. 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. -
Page 14: Installing The Memory
133MHz. For this, PC2100 DDR modules are required. Critically important is whether you’re using the recommended memory for the current board you have. For this information, please check Tyan’s web site at: www.tyan.com The following diagram shows the types of RAM modules you may encounter depending on your board: http://www.TYAN.com... - Page 15 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 16 When installing modules, install them in this order: A1, B1, A2, B2, etc. 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB Registered PC2100/PC1600 DDR SDRAM memory modules are supported in x4 or x8 configuration.

Page 20: 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 21 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...

(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 26 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.

SRAM instead of in the slow DRAM. Note that the cache is also much smaller than your regular memory: a typical cache size is 512KB, while you may have as much as 4GB of regular memory. http://www.TYAN.com... - Page 39 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 EMRL: Embedded RAID Logic.
- Page 40 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 41 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). http://www.TYAN.com...
- Page 42 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 shift the processor over and down, guiding into the board and locking it into place. http://www.TYAN.com...
