Icons
In order to help you navigate this manual and set up your system, we have
added several icons to our format.
This icon alerts you to particularly important details regarding the
setup or maintenance of your system. This icon often appears next
to information that may keep you from damaging your board or
system. While we will often point out the most vital paragraphs in a
chapter, you should always read every word in the text. Failing to do so can
lead to exasperation and expense.
Wherever possible, we have included step-by-step instructions for
setting up your system, which are indicated by this icon. However, it
is in your best interest to read an entire section (and perhaps the
entire manual) before you begin to fiddle with your motherboard.
While we have alerted you to potential dangers in several places in
the manual with this icon, these warnings should not be regarded as
the whole of your safety regimen. Never forget that computers are
electrical devices, and are capable of delivering a shock. Prevent
damage to yourself and to your board: always ensure that your system is
turned off and unplugged whenever you are working with it, and that you are
equipped with a static safety device.

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
expensive consequences).

Installation
You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of
the S2054 matches the micro-ATX system board specifications. Your chassis
should support a standard micro-ATX mainboard form factor.
How to install our products right...the first time.
What’s the first thing I should do?
The first thing you should do is read this users manual. It contains important
information which will make configuration and setup much easier.
Here are some precautions you should follow when installing your mother-
board:

INSTALL
(1) Ground yourself properly before removing your motherboard
from the antistatic bag. Unplug the power from your computer
and then touch any metal part on the computer case. (Or 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 mother-
board out of the cardboard box and static bag, hold it by its edges, and place it
on a grounded antistatic surface, component side up. Inspect the board for
damage.
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED!
Press down on any of the socket ICs if it appears that they are not properly
seated (the board should still be on an antistatic mat). 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 install it into the computer case. If you do
not ground yourself, you risk zapping the motherboard or adapter card.
Subsequent problems may not arise immediately because electrostatic dis-
charge damage, unlike physical damage, causes the device to fail over time.

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. The square pin in the diagram is Pin 1.
Jumpers and pins are connected by slipping the blue plastic jumper connector
overtop of two adjacent jumper pins (indicated by 1-2 or 2-3). The metal rod
inside the plastic shell bridges the gap between the two pins, completing the
circuit. See Figure 2-2 for more example of pin connections.
Figure 2-1 Figure 2-2
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.
A full-page map of the motherboard can be found on the next two pages.

1-L. Frontside USB Header (J38)
Certain computer chassis allow for a front-end USB port connection. There-
fore, this board provides a front side USB header should you decide to set up
a USB connector at the front side of your computer. Note: If you use J38, you
will be unable to use the TOP USB port at the back of the motherboard. Both
J38 and USB1 share the same channel.
1-M. Boot Block Jumper (JP3)
By default, this jumper is set to the OFF (locked)
position. Having the Boot Block protection “locked”
will allow system-bootup even if the BIOS bootup fails.
In other words, the boot block acts as a backup in case
your BIOS fails to boot the system. If the jumper is set
to the ON position, this would allow the Boot Block to
refresh its BIOS code at the same time you flash a new
BIOS. Note: If the Boot Block is ‘unlocked’ (jumper
ON) and if failure occurs during a new BIOS Flash,
you run the risk of rendering your entire system un-
bootable. The “backup” protection of the Boot Block
will be lost.
Soft Power Connector
The Soft Power Connector is part of jumper block J9 (pins 6-8). The Tomcat
i810 uses the chipset for power management, including turning on and off the
system. If the Power Button Function option in the BIOS Power Management
Menu is set to On/Off (which is the default), pressing the power button once
after the BIOS has booted up will turn the system on and off. If the Power
Button Function option is set to Suspend, pressing the power button once will
wake the system or send it to Suspend mode. In this case, you cannot turn the
system off unless you shut down through the Windows operating system or
you hold the power button down for four seconds.
Hardware Reset Switch Connector Installation
The Reset switch on your case’s display panel provides you with the Hard-
ware Reset function, which is the same as power on/off. The system will do a
cold start after the Reset button is pushed.
CMOS RTC

system is integrated into the 810 chipset. If the external battery for the RTC is
low, it will prevent your system from POSTing, and you will not get a display.
Normally the life span of an external battery is 2 years. If yours is running low,
you will need to replace it with a new 3V lithium battery (Sony CR2032).
Flash EEPROM
The Tomcat i810 uses flash memory to store BIOS firmware. It can be updated
as new versions of the BIOS become available. You can upgrade your BIOS
easily using the flash utility (see page 59).
2. Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis
Follow the instructions provided by the case manufacturer for proper installa-
tion guidelines. TYAN recommends that you make use of all mounting holes to
screw down the motherboard. The adapter cards and the screws holding them
down will keep your board flat. The fastening screw should not short any of
the traces on the motherboard. Make certain that you do not overtighten the
screw, as it will damage the motherboard and possibly break internal traces in
the surrounding area. The hole you should use is located at the top-center of
the board where the adapter cards are fastened to the case.
3. Installing Memory
Since TYAN boards are manufactured with performance in mind, you should
use add-in components that match. 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 meet the
critical tolerances our products require. Because of this, your memory may not
work correctly in a TYAN board though it may work well in a competitors
board. This is because many of our competitors do not adhere to the strict
tolerances required for high performance. If you buy a TYAN board, you are
getting the best system available. To make installation easy and trouble free,
get high quality parts. For a list of recommended memory vendors, please visit
Tyan’s website at www.tyan.com - go to the “Memory Support” area in the
Support Section. The website memory compatibility lists include DIMMs that
have proven to be very stable on our boards and perform extremely well.

INSTALL
Figure 2-3
*Note: The image above is used to illustrate a concept and may not represent the actual
image of your motherboard.
To install your DIMMs, line your module up so that the pins fit into the slot.
There is only one way that your DIMM can fit properly. Make sure that the
short row of pins is lined up with the short gap in the DIMM slot. Figure 2-3
shows how to sit the DIMM into its slot. To insert the DIMM, push down
vertically on the module with even force, as shown in the photo. Do not shove
one end in first; doing so will bend the DIMM pins.
To lock the DIMM into place, push the plastic clips on either end of the slot
onto the notches in the ends of the DIMM (see Figure 2-4 on the next page). In
some cases, pushing the memory module into the DIMM slot will move the
plastic clips inward, automatically locking the module into place. To remove
your DIMM, simply pull the clips back, and pull up on the module.
Place the DIMMs in an anti-static bag as soon as you remove them to avoid
static damage.

The Tomcat i810 uses a 64-bit data path from memory to CPU and can accom-
modate up to 512MB of SDRAM. The 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory
Modules) must be of the 3.3V, unbuffered variety. The position of the notch in
the SDRAM key position will tell you whether or not a DIMM is unbuffered
(see the Figure 2-5 below). All installed memory will be automatically detected,
so there is no need to set any jumpers.
Figure 2-5
Some details of memory installation:
The mainboard supports 32MB, 64MB, 128MB SDRAM; and supports
256MB registered SDRAM DIMM modules*, but not in combination with
non-registered modules.
