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. -

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 11 TIP: Use metal studs if possible, as they hold the motherboard into place more securely than plastic standoffs. http://www.TYAN.com...

Page 12: 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. -
Page 13: Memory Installation Procedure
To remove the memory module, simply push the latches outwards until the memory module pops up. Then simply remove the module. Due to the PCI v2.2 specifications, you MUST unplug the power connector to the NOTE motherboard before performing system hardware changes to avoid having your motherboard boot-up automatically. http://www.TYAN.com... -
Page 14: Installing The Processors/Heatsink
Because there are many different types of heatsinks available from many different manufacturers, many have their own method of installation. For the safest method of installation and information on choosing the appropriate heatsink, please refer to TYAN’s website: http://www.TYAN.com. http://www.TYAN.com... -
Page 15: Attaching Drive Cables
2.13 – Attaching Drive Cables Attaching IDE cables to your drives is simple because they only go in one way. TYAN motherboards have two on-board IDE channels for you to use, each supporting two drives. There is a white and a black IDE connector on your motherboard. - Page 16 Connectors are the same on both ends. Before continuing onto Connecting External Devices, make sure everything is properly connected. Things like jumpers and case wiring are the most common NOTE causes of troubleshooting frustrations, both for the end-user and for any company doing technical support. http://www.TYAN.com...

Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in CMOS – a special section of memory that stays on after you turn your system off. The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your system according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving the values the system is restarted again. http://www.TYAN.com... -
Page 34: 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. -
Page 35: Appendix I: Glossary
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 36 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 37 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 38 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 39 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... - Page 41 Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by manufacturer. Dispose of used battery according to manufacturer instructions and in accordance with your local regulations.
