How to install our products right...the first time. procedure What’s the first thing I should do? The first thing you should do is read this user’s manual. It contains important information which will make configuration and setup much easier. The next step is to properly ground yourself. First, unplug the power from your computer case and then touch the metal casing of the power supply or any metal part on the computer case.

Page 23
Installing the Passive Processor The installation of the passive processor differs only slightly from that of the active processor. Your passive CPU package should contain one CPU retention module, one heat sink retention bracket with mounting locks, two mounting attachments, and one heat sink lock.Install the retention module as explained in the active processor section.

Chapter 2 Board Installation the heat sink mounting bracket, gently press the ends of the locks inward and pull. Lock the heat sink mount to the board by inserting the two mounting locks (Figure 19) into the pins of the heat sink mounting bracket which are now below the mainboard.
Setting Jumpers In this manual, the terms “closed” and “on” are used when referring to jumpers (or jumper pins) that are active; “open” and “off” are used when referring to jumpers (or jumper pins) that are inactive. Jumpers and pins are connected by slipping the blue plastic jumper connector overtop of two adjacent jumper pins.
Chapter 3 Onboard Resource Settings Onboard Resource Settings Quick References for Jumpers The tables on the pages which follow will help you set the jumpers for CPU speed, InfraRed, and external connector pin assignments, among others. The miniature motherboard maps will help you locate the jumpers on your board.
CPU Settings for 66MHz Bus CPU Settings for 100MHz Bus The above clock speed settings control only the clock multiplier. 233MHz corresponds to 3.5x; 266MHz corresponds to 4x, etc. The bus speed is BIOS selectable. Tyan does not recommend operating CPUs, memory or the PCI bus at higher than rated speed.

Hardware CMOS & Password Reset If you have been locked out of your system because you forgot your password or set the CMOS incorrectly, follow the instructions below. 1. Power off the system 2. Set jumper JP3 to pins 2 and 3 (see previous page for procedure location of JP3).
Chapter 3 Onboard Resource Settings Cache Memory Penitum II processors have the L2 (Level 2) cache built into their architecture, so there is no need for an L2 cache on the motherboard. The Pentium II processor has a physical L2 cache size of 512KB and a cacheable memory area of 512MB.
Frequently Asked Questions Q: Why don’t I get a display after I put in my old DIMM module? A: The 440BX chipset requires the memory manufacturer to program an EEPROM chip with SPD (Serial Presence Detection) on the module in order for the BIOS to program the 440BX’s timing registers properly.

Chapter 3 Onboard Resource Settings bypassing the PCI interface and accessing the system memory directly. Currently, the AGP supports 1X and 2X modes, which yield bandwidths of 264MB/s (at 33MHz bus speed) and 533MB/s (at 66MHz bus speed), respectively. Compare this with the mere 132MB/s (at 33MHz bus speed) that you get with the PCI bus.
