ATX form factor. While this ensures general compatibility, your TYAN product is specialized and may require you to install a few extra studs. If you’re not sure which stud goes where, simply lay the motherboard inside the chassis, aligning the screw holes of the motherboard to the studs inside the case. - Page 12 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 website at: www.tyan.com...

– to push the modules into their socket. To avoid bending and damaging your motherboard, place it on its anti-static bag and onto a flat surface, and then proceed to install the memory modules. This way you’ll avoid motherboard damage even if you use too much force. http://www.tyan.com... - Page 14 However, only the following processors are certified and supported in dual processor configuration: Athlon MP processors up to Athlon MP 1900+ (check www.tyan.com for updates) Duron processors, Athlon C (Thunderbird), and Athlon XP processors are only supported in single mode and therefore only one of each processor can be installed at any given time.

Before Continuing onto section 2.15, make sure everything is properly connected. Things like jumpers and case wiring are the most common causes of troubleshooting frustrations, both for the end-user and for any company doing technical support. http://www.tyan.com... - Page 18 By utilizing an Auxiliary drive power connector, you can use virtually any existing ATX 2.01/2.03 standard power supply to operate the Tiger MPX. Simply attach the connectors and proceed forward. Also, it is not necessary to connect all three and there is no harm in doing so. http://www.tyan.com...

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 29 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 ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data): a format for storing information about Plug-n- Play devices in the system BIOS.
- Page 30 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 32 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...
