1.4 Technical Support
If a problem arises with your system, you should turn to your dealer for help first. Your system has most
likely been config ured by them , and they sh ould have the be st idea of what hardw are and so ftware your
system contains. Hence, they sh ou ld be of the mo st assist ance. Furthermore, if you p urch ase d you r system from a dealer n ear you, you can a ctually bring your syste m to them to have it serviced, instead of
attempting to do so yourself (which can have expensive consequences).
Help Resources:
1. See the FAQ and beep codes section of this manual.
2. See the Tyan website for FAQ, bulletins, driver updates, and other
information: http://www.tyan.com
3. Contact your dealer for help BEFORE calling Tyan.
4. Check the Tyan user group: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.tyan
1.5 Returning Merchandise for Service
During the warrant y period, contact you r distributor or syste m vendor FIRST for any product p roblems.
This warranty only cove rs no rm al cust ome r use and does n ot cove r da mag es incu rr ed du ring shi pp ing or
failure due to the alteration, misuse, abuse, or improper maintenance of products.
NOTE: A receipt or co py o f your invoice mark ed wit h the date o f purch ase is requ ired befo re any
warranty service can be rendered. You may obtain service by calling the manufacturer for a
Return Merchan dise Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA number sho uld be prominently displayed on the o ut sid e of the shipp i n g ca rton an d th e p ack ag e sh ou ld be m ail ed prep aid . Tyan will
pay to have the board shipped back to you.

Chapter 2: Board Installation
2.1 Unpacking
The retail motherboard package should contain the following:
Tiger 200 mothe r boa rd
34-pin floppy cable
ATA-66/100 IDE cable (with blue connector)
Tiger 200 I/O shield*
Tiger 200 user’s manual
Tyan driver CD
2.2 Installation
You are now ready to inst all your mother board. Th e mount ing hole patter n of the Tiger 200 match es the
ATX board specifica tion s, so you r cha ssis must be capable of supp ort ing an ATX board (check the m otherboard dimensions provided on p. 6).
2.3 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 info rmation wh ich will make
configuration and setup much easier, as well as provide information on device installation and component
set up.. By reading through the manual complete ly before installing your motherboard, you will have a
complete overview on the installation.
* if you require a different I/O shield solution, please contact your chassis vendor

http://www.tyan.com
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 memory 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, an d place it on a ground ed antistatic surface, component side up.
Inspect the board for damage.
NOTE:DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED!
Press down on any of the socke ted ICs if it appe ars that t hey are not prope rly seated (the board shou ld
still be on an antistatic mat). Do n ot touch th e bottom of the board. Remember, don’t take any electronic
device out o f i ts p ro t ec ti v e bag un t i l y o u a r e r e ad y t o a c t ua ll y i n s tal l it i nto t he c o mp ute r ca s e . If yo u do n ot
ground yourself, yo u ri sk zapping the mo therb oard o r adap ter card . Subseq uent pr oble ms may not ari se
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) that are inactive. S ee Figure
2.0a and Figure 2.0c for examples o f “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 p ages will help you set the jum pers for CPU speed, infr ared, 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.

2.7 Mounting the Motherboard into the Chassis
Your chassis may include moun ting hardwar e. If mounting hardware 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 in to t he cha ssis wa ll, so in t hose 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 ul es m ay ap pe ar to b e hi gh -q uali ty, 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
Memory Installation Procedure
Here are some details of memory installation for this board:
At least one unbuffered DIMM must be installed for the system to POST.
The motherboard supports 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, and 512MB PC100/133* SDRAM.
All installed memory will be automatically detected, so there is no need to set any jumpers.
The motherboard supports up to 1.5 (3 DIMMs)* or 2 GB (4 DIMMs)* of memory.
Insert the DIMM by pushing the modul e into the socket wit h even force. Do not insert one
Step

end and then the ot her: instal l the whole module at onc e or you m ight bend the DIMM pin s.
Make sure the DIMM is securely seated.
Line your module up so that the pins fit into the socket. There is only one way your DIMM can

fit properly. Make sure that the short row of pins is lined up with the short gap in the DIMM
socket.
Lock the DIMM into plac e by pushing the clips back on either end of the socket onto the

notches in the ends of the DIMM (see pictures below for details).

Removing a DIMM
Removing a DIMM is just the reverse : si mply pu l l back the clips fro m the D IM M (see pictur es belo w), and
carefully pull the module straight out. Place the DIMMs in an anti-static bag as soon as you remove them
to avoid static damage.
