Chapter 1 Introduction 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 you, you can actually bring your system in to them to have it serviced, instead of attempting to do so yourself (which can have exp

Chapter 2 Board Installation Quick References for 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. See the Figure 2-1 for examples of on and off pins and jumpers. Jumpers and pins are connected by slipping the plastic jumper connector overtop of two adjacent jumper pins (indicated by 1-2 or 2-3). The metal rod inside the plastic she

Chapter 2 Board Installation 1. Setting Jumpers 1-A. CPU Speed Settings (Jumpers JP10, JP11, JP12, JP13) ! There are two steps to set the CPU speed. First, set the clock multiplier with important! jumpers JP10 -13 according to the specification of your CPU using the chart below. After the system is ready to boot the BUS Speed is auto-detected. Presently all Celeron CPUs use a 66MHz bus speed. (Tyan does not recom- mend operating CPUs, memory, or PCI Bus at higher than rated speed. Tyan takes

Chapter 2 Board Installation 3. Installing Memory Since TYAN boards are manufactured with performance in mind, you should use add-in components that match. It is highly recommended that the memory DIMMs are installed prior to connecting the power supply. 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 contain inferior or substandard parts which do not
