Flexibility and expandability have been designed into the Tomcat i810e.

With I/O and drive controller support built onboard (along with the many

onboard features previously mentioned), the four PCI slots are free for more

add-on expansion cards.

Remember to take a look at TYAN Computers web site located at

http://www.tyan.com. There you can find information on all of TYANs

products along with FAQs, distributors list, drivers, and BIOS setting explana-

tions.

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).

INSTALL

Here are some precautions you should follow when installing your mother-

board:

(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.

1-G. Clear CMOS and Reset Password (JP2)

If you have been locked out of your system because you forgot your pass-

word or set the CMOS incorrectly, follow the instructions below.

1. Power off the system

2. Set jumper JP2 to pins 2 and 3

3. Wait for 10 seconds, then return jumper JP2 to pins 1 and 2.

4. Power on the system again.

By following this procedure, you will erase your password and reset the

1-M. 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-N. 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.

1-O. Reserved Jumper (JP5)

This jumper setting is reserved for future use and enhancement for your

motherboard. At this point, it should be left open and and remain unused.

1-P. SCSI LED (J22)

This is the SCSI LED connector.

Soft Power Connector

The Soft Power Connector is part of jumper block J9 (pins 6-8). The Tomcat

i810e 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

The Real Time Clock (RTC) circuit, which provides the date and time for the

system is integrated into the 810e 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 i810e 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 66).

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 competitors

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

S2056 Tomcat i810e

19

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

Figure 2-3

*Note: The image above is used to illustrate a concept and may not represent the actual

image of your motherboard.

Support Section. The website memory compatibility lists include DIMMs that

have proven to be very stable on our boards and perform extremely well.

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.

Note: The image above is used to illustrate a concept and may not represent the actual

image of your motherboard.

The Tomcat i810e uses a 64-bit data path from memory to CPU and can

accommodate 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 automati-

cally detected, so there is no need to set any jumpers.

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.
