Chapter 2: Board Installation

Installation

You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of the Trinity i845GL matches the FlexATX system board specifications. Your chassis should support a standard FlexATX motherboard form factor.

How to install our products right…. the first time!

The first thing you should do is read this user’s manual. It contains important information that will make configuration and setup much easier. Here are some precautions you should take when installing your motherboard:

(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.

(2) Hold the motherboard by its edges and do not touch the bottom of the board, or flex the

board in any way.

(3) Avoid touching the motherboard components, IC chips, connectors, memory modules,

and leads.

(4) Place the motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the antistatic bag that the

board was shipped in.

(5) Inspect the board for damage.

The following pages include details on how to install your motherboard into your chassis, as well as installing the processor, memory, disk drives and cables.

NOTE DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED

2.1 – Board The following is an image of the Trinity i845GL S2098.

The above photograph is purely representative. Due to engineering updates and new board revisions, certain components may change and or be repositioned. The picture above may or may not look exactly like the board you received.

The following page includes details on the vital components of this motherboard.

2.2 – Board Jumpers

This jumper diagram is representative of the latest board revision available at the time of publishing. The board you receive may or may not look exactly like the above diagram.

2.3 – Fan Connectors

Use these headers to connect cooling fans, both chassis and processor fans, to your motherboard. Cooling fans help keep the

system more stable and operating reliably for its product life.

2.4 – CMOS Reset (JP3)

Clear CMOS

Default

2,3: Clear CMOS 1,2: Default

Connect pins 2 and 3 together to reset the CMOS settings in case an incorrect setting causes system instability or you have forgotten your system/setup password or have just flashed your BIOS.

Power off the system and disconnect the power supply.

- Close pins 2 and 3 on JP1

- Wait about 5 seconds

- Close pins 1 and 2 on JP1

- Reconnect the power supply and power on the system

2.5 – Front Panel Connector (J9)

Your chassis will usually come with connectors to install onto the motherboard, such as HDD and Power LEDs. The Front Panel Connector has been implemented for such purposes.

2.6 – Wake-On-LAN (J10)

Plugging your LAN card cable into J10 enables the Wake-On-LAN feature. This automatically resumes the system power when the LAN port receives an incoming signal during power-saving mode.

2.7 – Wake-On-Ring (J12)

Similarly to the Wake-On-LAN, plugging your modem into J12 enables the Wake-On-Ring feature. This automatically resumes the system power when the

modem receives an incoming signal during power-saving mode.

2.9 – Mounting the Motherboard Before installing your motherboard, make sure your chassis has the necessary motherboard

support studs installed. These studs are usually metal and are gold in color. Usually, the chassis manufacturer will pre-install the support studs. If you’re unsure of stud placement, simply lay the motherboard inside the chassis and align the screw holes of the motherboard to the studs inside

the case. 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.

Below is a chart detailing what the most common motherboard studs look like and how they should be installed.

TIP: Use metal studs if possible, as they hold the motherboard into place more securely than plastic standoffs.

2.10 – Installing the Memory

Before attempting to install any memory, make sure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard as well as the processor. For example, while PC1600 DDR modules are compatible with all DDR based motherboards, they will not work if you are required to run the motherboard and processor buses at 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.

Use only 184-pin unbuffered non-ECC memory for S2098.

Unbuffered Non-ECC = 8 Chips

Unbuffered ECC = 9 Chips

Note: The Trinity i845GL has two DIMM sockets, which supports a maximum of four banks of DDR memory (only supports 64 Mb, 128 Mb, 256 Mb, and 512 Mb technologies for x8 and x16 devices.)

http://www.TYAN.com

2.11 – Memory Installation Procedure

When you install the memory modules, make sure the module aligns properly with the memory slot. The modules are keyed to ensure that it is inserted only one way. The method of installing memory modules are detailed by the following diagrams.

Once the memory modules are firmly seated in the slot, two latches on either side will close and secure the module into the slot. Sometimes you may need to close the latches yourself.

To remove the memory module, simply push the latches outwards until the memory module pops up. Then simply remove the module.

NOTE

Due to the PCI v2.2 specifications, you MUST unplug the power connector to the motherboard before performing system hardware changes to avoid having your

motherboard boot-up automatically.
