Tomcat i875P S5102 Chapter 2: Board Installation
Chapter 2: Board Installation
Installation
You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting holes pattern of the Tomcat
i875P S5102 matches the ATX specification. Before continuing with installation, confirm that
your chassis supports a standard ATX motherboard.
How to install our products right…. the first time!
The first thing you should do 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

2.6 – 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.
- Memory Type
Below is a chart detailing what the most common motherboard studs look like and how they
should be installed it.
: The Tomcat i875P S5102 supports unbuffered ECC and non-ECC type
memory modules. Registered Memory is NOT supported.
2-12
http://www.tyan.com
Tomcat i875P S5102 Chapter 2: Board Installation
TIP: Use metal studs if possible, as they hold the motherboard into place more securely than
plastic standoffs.

2.7 – 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
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:
The following diagram shows the types of RAM modules you may encounter depending on
your board:

DDR Unbuffered ECC
Here are a few key points to note before installing memory into your Tomcat i875P S5102:
• 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB unbuffered ECC and non-ECC
PC2100/PC2700/PC3200
DDR memory modules are supported
• All installed memory will be automatically detected - no need to set any jumpers
• The Tomcat i875P S5102 supports up to 4GB of memory
• Registered Memory is NOT supported.
• You can install either single- or double-sided modules on this board. Each DIMM
can work respectively for single-channel mode and dual-channel mode. Please note
that the same type and density memory modules are necessary while using dualchannel DDR, otherwise it may cause system instability.
Please refer to the following table for detailed dual-channel DDR.

2. Symmetrical DIMMs must be identical
- Same DRAM Technology, eg 128M-bit, 256-bit, etc.
- Same DRAM bus width, eg x8 or x16
- Matched Sided DIMMs (Single Sided or Double Sided)

When using 800MHz CPU FSB, PC2700 DDR DIMMS may run only at 320MHz (not 333MHz) due
*
to chipset limitations.
Note:
While using ECC type memory, it will take longer time to post. Due to the manner in which it
counts the memory and has to write zero’s to every bit of the stick before progressing through

When installing memory modules, make sure the modules align properly with the memory
socket. There should be keys (small indents) on your memory modules that fit according to the
keys in the memory socket. DDR modules and sockets have only one key, which is slightly
near the center of the module/socket. The method of installing memory modules is detailed in
the following diagrams.
Once the memory modules are firmly seated in the socket, two clamps on either side will close
and secure the module into the socket. Sometimes you may need to close the clamps
manually.
To remove the memory module, simply push the clamps outwards until the memory module
pops up. Then simply remove the module.
When installing memory, a module may require a considerable amount of force to seat
TIP:
properly, although this is very rare. To avoid bending and damaging your motherboard, place
it on its anti-static bag and onto a flat surface, and then proceed with memory installation.

2.9 – Installing the Processor and Heatsink
Your Tomcat i875P S5102 supports the latest processor technologies from Intel. Check the
following page on TYAN’s website for latest processor support:
http://www.tyan.com
The following diagrams will detail how to install your processor:
The diagram is provided as a visual guide to help you install socket processors and may not
be an exact representation of the processors you have.
1. Lift the lever on the socket until it is approximately 90
possible to the socket.
2. Align the processor with the socket. There are keyed pins underneath the processor
to ensure that the processor’s installed correctly.
3. Seat the processor firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until the processor
sits flush with the socket.
4. Place the socket lever back down until it locks into place.
5. Your processor is installed.
Take care when installing the processor as it has very fragile connector pins below the
processor that can bend and break if inserted improperly.
Heatsink Installation
After you are done installing the processor, you should proceed to installing the heatsink.
Heatsink will ensure that the processor not overheat and continue to operate at maximum
performance for as long as you own them. An overheated processor is dangerous to the
health of the motherboard.
Because there are many different types of heatsinks available from many different
manufacturers, a lot of them have their own method of installation. For the safest method of
installation and information on choosing the appropriate heatsink, please refer to INTEL’s
website at www.Intel.com.

Heatsink Installation
After you are done installing the processor, you should proceed to installing the heatsink. The
heatsink will ensure that the processor does not overheat, and will continue to operate at
maximum performance. An overheated processor is also dangerous to the long-term reliability
of the motherboard.
The following diagram will illustrate how to install the most common heatsinks:
Install the mounting bracket onto the
motherboard by aligning the bracket with the four
holes around the processor socket. Once the
bracket is aligned, press down on the four white
pegs on the bracket until they insert securely,
locking the bracket onto the motherboard. Then
proceed to installing the heatsink. Instructions on
how to install heatsinks should be provided with
the heatsink itself.
First, use thermal compound (also
called heatsink compound or thermal
grease) and apply a small amount on
to the processor’s core – the small
shiny square in the center of the
processor.
You may then use a small soft plastic
tool, like a credit card to gently smear
a thin layer of heatsink compound as
evenly as you can across the core. In
most cases, you don’t need to do this
but it may help.
Then, at an angle, clip one side of the
heatsink onto the socket and then lay
the heatsink flat onto the processor.
Then clip the other end of the heatsink
down either with your finger or by
using a flathead screwdriver.
Some heatsinks have a small clip on
the inside of one of the clips which you
can insert a small flathead screw
driver into to secure the heatsink.
In most cases, either side of the
heatsink can be clipped down last, but
usually, the side of the socket where it
is raised, secures last.
Because one side of the socket is
raised (and usually has “SOCKET”
imprinted into it) heatsinks have an
indent on one side to secure flush with
the raised side of the socket.
Be sure to carefully observe which
side your heatsink is seated before
securing it down to avoid damaging
the processor, the heatsink or both.

Finishing Installing the Heatsink
After you finish installing the heatsink onto the processor and socket, attach the end wire of
the fan (which should already be attached to the heatsink) to the motherboard. The following
diagram illustrates how to connect fans onto the motherboard.
After you’re finished installing all the fans you can connect your drives (hard drives, CD-ROM
drives, etc.) to your motherboard.
2.10 – Attaching Drive Cables
Attaching IDE drive cabling is simple. These cables are “keyed” to only allow them to be
connected in the correct manner. TYAN motherboards have two on-board IDE channels, each
supporting two drives.

Attaching IDE cables to the IDE connectors is illustrated below:
The black connector designates the Primary channel, while the
Simply plug in the BLUE END of the IDE cable into the motherboard IDE connector, and the
other end(s) into the drive(s). Each standard IDE cable has three connectors, two of which are
closer together. The BLUE connector that is furthest away from the other two is the end that
connects to the motherboard. The other two connectors are used to connect to drives.
Pin 1 on the IDE cable (usually designated by a colored wire) faces the drive’s power

Attaching Serial ATA cables to the Serial ATA connectors is illustrated below:
Se ria l ATA Hard dr ive
Serial ATA Cable
Serial ATA Connector
Serial ATA Cable
Power Cable
Simply plug in the BLACK END of the Serial ATA cable into the motherboard Serial ATA
connector, and the other end(s) into the drive(s). Each standard Serial ATA cable has two
connectors. Both BLACK ENDS of the Serial ATA cable are the same that are used to connect
to drives or motherboard.
Floppy Drives
Attaching a floppy drive can be done in a similar manner to an IDE drive. See the diagram
below for an example of a floppy cable. Most of the current floppy drives on the market require
that the cable be installed with the colored stripe positioned next to the power connector. In
most cases, there will be a key pin on the cable which will force proper connection of the cable.
The first floppy drive (commonly denoted
as A:) is usually attached to the end of
the cable with the twist in it. Drive B: is
usually connected to the second or third
connector in the cable (the second or
third connector after you install Drive A:).
Refer to your floppy drive’s installation
instructions (if available), or contact your
dealer if you are unsure about how to
attach the floppy drive(s). Remember,
you can only have 2 floppy drives
connected at any given time.
