Technical Support
If a problem arises with your system, you should turn to your dealer for help
first. Your system has most likely been configured by them, and they should
have the best idea of what hardware and software your system contains.
Hence, they should be of the most assistance. Further, if you purchased your
system from a dealer near to you, you can actually bring your system in to
them to have it serviced, instead of attempting to do so yourself (which can
have expensive consequences).
If your dealer is unable to assist you,

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.
Here are some precautions you should follow when installing your motherboard:
(1) Ground yourself properly before removing your motherboard
from the antistatic bag. Unplug the power from your computer
and then touch any metal part on the computer case. (Or wear a
grounded wrist strap.)
(2) Hold the motherboard by its edges and do not touch the bottom of
the board.
(3) A void touching motherboard components, IC chips, connectors,
and leads.
(4) A void touching pins of memory modules and chips.
(5) Place motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the
antistatic bag.
DO NOT APPL Y POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED!
!
Press down on any of the socket ICs if it appears that they are not properly

seated (the board should still be on an anti-static mat). Do not touch the
bottom of the board. Remember, don’t take any electronic device out of its
protective bag until you are ready to actually install it into the computer case.
If you do not ground yourself, you risk zapping the motherboard or adapter
card. Subsequent problems may not arise immediately because electrostatic
discharge damage, unlike physical damage, causes the device to fail over time.
INSTALL
Install the motherboard into your case.
Follow the instructions provided by the case manufacturer for proper installation guidelines. TYAN recommends that you use only one screw to hold down
the motherboard. The rest of the mounting holes should be used for the plastic
standoffs. If your case does not have a hole for a standoff, simply cut off the
bottom of the plastic standoff so that the flat portion rests on the metal. The
adapter cards and the screws holding them down will keep your board flat. The
fastening screw should not short any of the traces on the motherboard. Make
certain that you do not overtighten the screw , as it will damage the motherboard and possibly break internal traces in the surrounding area. The hole you
http://www.tyan.com
11

should use is located at the top-center of the board where the adapter cards
are fastened to the case.
Plug in the power connector as shown.
The photos below show the ATX power connector before (Figure 1) and after
(Figure 2) it has been plugged in.
Figure 1
Figure 2
The plastic clip on the power connector should lock over the plastic tab on the
onboard connector. You shouldn’t be able to plug the power connector in any
other way but just to be safe, make sure it looks like Figure 2 above. Make
warning
certain that you do not miss any pins because, if you do, you will void your
warranty and cause damage to yourself or your motherboard when you turn
the system on. After connecting the power, make sure the connector is seated
firmly into its socket so it will not become loose or fall off when the computer
is jostled or moved. Note: Tyan r ecommends using an A TX power supply that
conforms to industry standard revision 2.01.

Next, connect your IDE cables (if you’re using IDE hard drives).
Figure 3
The colored stripe on the cable should face toward the top of your chassis, or
toward the big white B printed on the motherboard.
In Figure 3 you can see
how the IDE cables should
look when they are
connected to your hard
drive. Notice how Pin 1
(denoted by a red stripe) is
connected so that it is next
to the power connector of
the drive. In most cases,
this is the proper way of
connecting your IDE cable
to the hard drive. Figure 4
shows the IDE cable
properly connected to the
motherboard.

Some symptoms of incorrectly installed HDDs are:
• Hard disk drives are not auto-detected: may be a Master/Slave
problem or a bad IDE cable. Contact your vendor.
• Hard Disk Drive Fail message at bootup: may be a bad cable or
lack of power going to the drive.
• No video or beeps on bootup: usually means the cable is on
backwards.
• Hard drive lights are constantly on: bad IDE cable or defective
drives/motherboard. Try another HDD.
• Hard drives do not power up: check power cables and cabling.
May also be a bad power supply or IDE drive.
Now that you have installed your IDE drives, your floppies are next.
Figure 5
Pin 1 on the floppy cable is usually denoted by a red or colored stripe down
one side of the cable (see Figure 5). Most of the current floppy drives on the
market require that the colored stripe be positioned so that it is right next to
the power connector. In most cases, there will be a key pin on the cable which
will force you to connect the cable properly .
Drive A: is usually attached to the end of the cable with the twist in it. Drive B:
is usually connected to the middle of the cable. Refer to your installation
instructions or call your dealer if you are unsure about attaching floppy drives.
http://www.tyan.com
14
Refer to Figure 5 on the previous page for a detailed anatomy of the floppy
cable. Remember, you can only have 2 floppy drives connected at any given
time.
The color stripe on the cable should face toward the top of your chassis, or
toward the big white B printed on the motherboard. Please refer to your
documentation for proper installation, or see Figure 4 on page 13.
Some symptoms of incorrectly installed floppies are:
• Floppy drives are not detected: usually caused by faulty cables,
backward cables, or a bad floppy or motherboard. Try another
single floppy drive to verify the problem or try another cable. Also,
check to see if the onboard floppy is enabled in the BIOS.
• Floppy Drive Fail message at bootup: the cable, floppy, or
motherboard may be faulty. Try another cable or floppy drive to
verify .
• Light on the floppy is on constantly: a dead give-away that the
cable is on backwards. Reverse the cable at the motherboard end
and try again.
Next are the Com and Printer ports.
Warning: When plugging in your keyboard and mouse, or when plugging
anything into a serial or Com port, make sure that the power is off. Connecting

Note: Only TY AN cables will work on this motherboard. If you are using an
existing case with old cables, your system will not function properly . Use only
TYAN-approved cables.
Connecting the USB and PS/2 ports.
This board includes ports for USB, PS/2 mouse, and PS/2 keyboard devices.
The location of these ports is shown in Figure 6 above. Note that, for this
board, the PS/2 mouse port is the upper PS/2 port, and the PS/2 keyboard port
is the lower PS/2 port.
The PS/2 connectors are probably quite familiar to you. The USB connectors,
however, may be foreign. The USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a versatile port.
This one port type can function as a serial, parallel, mouse, keyboard, or
joystick port. It is fast enough to support video transfer, and is capable of
supporting up to 127 daisy-chained peripheral devices. Close-ups of the USB
connector, as well as of the USB and PS/2 ports, are on the following page.

Installing your add-in cards is relatively simple but...
there are a few rules you need to follow when plugging in a card. In order to
assure proper operation and a quick installation, adhere to these guidelines:
• If you are going to install a PCI-Bus interface card on your system,
be aware that any one of the two PCI slots can support a Master
or Slave device.
• NEVER force a card into a slot. If it doesn’t fit, look at the socket
!
important!
on the computer to make sure there are no wires or other
obstructions to the slot.
• NEVER plug an ISA card into a PCI slot or a PCI card in an ISA
slot. You will void your warranty and damage your system board if
you do this.
• When plugging the card in, especially when installing long cards,
try to push the entire card in at one time. Don’t force one end of
the card into the socket first and then the other. This will create a
rocking motion between the card and the slot and it will damage the
pins within the socket.
• Make sure that the cards are seated securely into the slots.
INSTALL
http://www.tyan.com
17
Chapter 2
Board Installation
• Before turning on the system, make sure no cards are touching
each other or are shorting.
If you follow these basic guidelines, there shouldn’t be any problems with
installation. However, if you do encounter any problems, have a qualified
professional install your cards for you or contact your card manufacturer.
Remember, always read the manuals and installation notes that come with the
adapter cards. They contain important information which will help you install
the components right, the first time.
Next, you need to install your memory.
Since TYAN boards are manufactured with performance in mind, you should
use add-in components that match. Some DIMM modules may seem to be high
quality because of name or feel but that does not guarantee real-world
usability. Some cheaper or OEM memory may have brand-name components,
but they may be on inferior or substandard parts which do not meet the critical
tolerances our products require. Because of this, your memory may not work
correctly in a TY AN board though it may work well in a competitor’ s board.
This is because many of our competitors do not adhere to the strict tolerances
required for high performance. If you buy a TYAN board, you are getting the
best system available. T o make installation easy and trouble free, get high
quality parts. Some brands we recommend are Advantage Memory, Corsair
Microsystems, Millenium, Kingston Memory, QesTec Incorporated, Unigen,
Micron Technology, and Crucial Technology. These DIMMs have proven to
be very stable on our boards and perform extremely well.
18
http://www.tyan.com
Figure 9
To install your DIMMs, line your module up so that the pins fit into the slot.
There is only one way that your DIMM can fit properly . Make sure that the
short row of pins is lined up with the short gap in the DIMM slot. Figure 9
shows how to sit the DIMM into its slot. To insert the DIMM, push down
vertically on the module with even force, as shown in the photo. Do not shove
one end in first; doing so will bend the DIMM pins.
!
important!
T o lock the DIMM into place, push the plastic clips on either end of the slot
onto the notches in the ends of the DIMM (see Figure 10 on the following
page). T o remove your DIMM, simply pull the clips back, and pull up on the
module.

Figure 10
Place the DIMMs in an anti-static bag as soon as you remove them to avoid
static damage.
Finally , install your CPU.
Pentium II processors (233 through 450MHz) can be used on the Tiger 100.
Please refer to pages 29-30 for the correct CPU jumper settings for your board.
!
Remember:
important!
• The CPU is a sensitive electronic component and it can easily be damaged
by static electricity. Do not touch the CPU pins with your fingers.
• Before the CPU is installed, the motherboard must be placed on a
flat surface. Y ou should be able to insert the CPU with minimal, but
firm, pressure. Do not press down hard on the CPU.
Currently , Intel produces two types of Pentium II processors: the active (or
boxed) processor and the passive processor (see Figures 11 and 12 on the next
page). These two types of processors are essentially the same in design; the
only difference lies in their cooling methods. The active processor is equipped
with a cooling fan and heat sink, while the passive processor is equipped with
a heat sink alone. Both types of CPUs provide the user with the same performance, and both types can be installed in the Pentium II slot on the Tiger 100
board.

Installing CPU Retention Modules
Installation of a Pentium II processor requires a CPU retention module, which
is first secured onto the motherboard.
T o attach the retention module, place the motherboard on a flat surface. Locate
the key pin on one end of the Pentium II slot on the board. Then carefully line
up the key notch on the
retention module with the key
pin on the Pentium II slot (the
Figure 13

indicates the correct
orientation of the CPU).
INSTALL
Drop the retention module
(Figure 14 on the following
page) down over the Pentium
II slot so that the retention
module sits flat against the
motherboard. Tighten the
screws in a clockwise manner
to secure the module to the
board. Warning: Do not
overtighten the screws as you

Installing the Active Processor
When the retention module is securely installed, you are ready to plug in the
CPU. Press down firmly on the CPU until you hear a “click” (see Figure 15 ). This

clicking sound indicates that the CPU is fully locked into the retention module. If
you have an active processor, you will also need to connect the CPU’s cooling
fan cable to the cooling fan power connector on the board.
Figure 14
Figure 15
Locate the cooling fan connector (e.g. FAN1) on the motherboard. Plug the
CPU’s cooling fan cable into the cooling fan connector on the board. There will
be a plastic clip assembly similar to that of the ATX power connector that will
force you to connect the fan cable correctly (see Figure 16 below).
Figure 16

http://www.tyan.com
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.
The heat sink mount (Figure 17)
has two pins on the bottom and
four pins on the top. Notice that
the bottom two pins are of
different sizes. The size of the

top will be right next to the Pentium II CPU slot.
Insert the heat sink mount into the holes on the motherboard. When the
bracket is properly inserted into the holes on the motherboard, you will hear a
clicking noise.
Align the CPU with the CPU retention module. Make sure the heat sink is lined
up with the heat sink mount bracket. If you put the CPU in the wrong way , you
may damage the CPU, the motherboard, and/or the CPU socket. Slowly press
down on the CPU module until the CPU locks into place. Y ou will hear a

You are done.
Other than checking the jumper settings and cable connections and putting
the case back on, you are done. Installing a new motherboard may sound
difficult, but by following these directions, you should have a fairly uneventful
time installing our products. If you do encounter problems, your dealer will be
able to help you, or you can consult one of our many technical support
resources (see page 8).
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. The metal rod inside the plastic shell bridges the gap between the two
pins, completing the circuit. See the drawings below for examples of “on” and
