Chapter 2: Board Installation
2.1 Installation
Once you’ve checked that everything is i nside the box (see p. 4 for details), you will then be r eady to
install your mo therbo ard. T he m ounting hole p att ern o f the m other board match es the ATX board specifications, so your chassis must be cap able of suppor ting an Ext ended ATX board (check the mo therboard
dimensions provided on p. 7).
2.2 How to install our products right.. the first time.
Question: what’s the first thing I should do?
The first thing you should do is read the user’s manual. It contains important information which will make
configuration and setup much easier, as well as provide information on device installation and component
setup. By reading through the manual completely before installing your motherboard, you will have a
complete overview on the installation.
2.3 Here are some safety tips:
(1) Ground yourself properly before removing your motherboard from the antistatic bag. Unplug
the power from your computer power supply and touch any metal part on the computer case. (You
might also want to wear a grounded wrist strap.)
(2) Hold the motherboard by its edges and do not touch the bottom of the board.
(3) Avoid touching motherboard components, IC chips, connectors, and leads.
(4) Avoid touching pins of me mory modules and chips.
(5) Place motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the antistatic bag.
Having reviewed the precautions above, the next step is to take the motherboard out of the cardboard box
and static bag, hold it by its edges, and place it on a grounded antistatic surface (such as the bag it came
in), component side up. Then, inspect the board for damage.
NOTE: DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED!
Press down on any of the socketed ICs if it appears that they are not properly seated (the board should
still be on an antistatic mat or on top of the bag it came in). 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 start installing
it into the computer case (e.g. setting jumpers, etc.) If you do not ground yourself, you risk zapping the
motherboard or adapter card. Subsequent problems may not arise immediately because electrostatic discharge, unlike physical damage, causes the device to fail over time.

2.4 Quick References for Jumpers
In this manual, the term “closed” and “on” are used when referring to jump ers (or jumper pins) th at are
active; “open” a nd “off” a re u sed whe n re fer ri ng to ju mp ers (or jumper pin s) th at a re inactive. See Figure
2.0a and Figure 2.0c for examples of “on” and “off” pins and jumpers.
Jumpers and pins are con nected by slipping the plasti c jumper connector over the top of two adjacent
jumper pins ( indicated by 1- 2 or 2-3). The met al rod inside t he plastic sh ell b ridges the ga p betw een the
two pins, completin g the circuit. See Figure 2 .0b and Figure 2.0d for more examples of 3-pin jumper
connections. NOTE: The small number “1” indicates pin 1.
The tables and maps on the following pages 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. Full page maps of the motherboard can be found on the next two pages.

If you have been locked out o f your system beca use you forgot your password or set the CMOS incorrectly, or have just finished flashing your BIOS follow the instructions below.
1. Power off the system
2. Close pins 2-3 on JP1
3. Wait about three seconds
4. Close pins 1-2 on JP1, then power on the system again
By following this procedure, you will erase your password and reset the CMOS.

This is a 2-pin connector for connecting external LED devices such as SCSI or HDD devices that have
connectors for LED output.

2.6-J. Soft Power Connector
The soft power connector is part of jumper block J15 (pins 6 and 8). This board uses the chipset for power
management, inclu ding turning on and off the system. If the power button function option in the BIOS
Power Managemen t menu i s set to “On/ Off” (which is t he defaul t), pressin g the power button on ce after
the BIOS has booted up will turn the syste m on and off. If the power button function is set to Suspend,
pressing the power button once will wa ke up the system or send it to Suspend mode. In this case, you
cannot turn the syste m off unless you sh ut down t hrough the Windows op erating system o r you hold the
power button down for four seconds (BIOS-dependent feature).
2.6-K. Hardware Reset Switch Connector Installation
The reset switch on your chassis case provides you with the Hardware Reset function, which is the same
as power on/off, except that the system will immediately execu te a cold start after the reset button is
pushed. The reset switch needs to be connected to jumper block J15 (pins 5 and 7).

You can upgrade the BIOS of this motherboard by using the Flash Utility (see p.47). Check the Tyan website for more details: http://www.tyan.com

2.7 Mounting the Motherboard into the Chassis
Your chassis may include m ounting hardw are. If mounti ng hardwa re was included, yo u can use the fo llowing examples to help you in installing your motherboard into the chassis.
The chassis may h ave com e with th e studs integrated into t he chassis wall, so in those ca ses you wou ld
only need to us e scre ws (possib ly inclu ded wi th you r chass is) to i nstall th e mot herboa rd. S ee the examples (Figure 2.0, shown below) for more details.
If the chassis includes mounting hardware without the studs pre-installed, then you will need to install the
motherboard usin g the mounting hardware as sho wn in the examples below. Remember not to overtighten any of th e screws, or you migh t risk breaki ng intern al traces i n the surroun ding ar ea, or dam age
the motherboard in some other way.
Other examples of how to install your motherboard using other hardware (that may or may not have been
included with your chassis) are shown below.

2.8 Installing Memory
Please keep in m i nd t hat a lthough some mem or y m od ules m ay appear to b e high-quality, they may contain inferior or substandard p arts. The type o f memory you ch oose to instal l should be checke d against
the memory compatibility list, which is available from Tyan’s website at http://www.tyan.com
Here are some details of memory installation for this board:
At least one non-registered, unbuffered DIMM must be installed in order to POST.
Supports 128MB, 256MB, 512MB* non-registered, unbuffered DIMMs ONLY.
PC100 supported in a three DIMM setup. PC133 only supported in a two DIMM setup.
The motherboard supports up to 512MB* of PC100/133 SDRAM.
Memory Installation Procedure
Step
Step
Line your module up so that the pins fit into the socket. There is only one way your DIMM can
1
fit properly. Make sure that the short row of pins is lined up with the short gap in the DIMM
socket, just as the long row of pins should line up with the long gap in the DIMM socket.
short row of pins long row of pins
Insert the DIMM by p ushing the module into the socket with even force. Do not insert one
2
end and then the other: install the whole module at once or you might bend the DIMM pins.
Make sure the DIMM is securely seated.
