device.
• NEVER force a card into a slot. If it doesn’t fit, look at the socket on the
computer to make sure there are no wires or other obstructions to the slot.
• NEVER plug an ISA card into a PCI slot or a PCI card in an ISA slot. You
will void your warranty and damage your system board if you do this.
• When plugging the card in, especially when installing long cards, try to
push the entire card in at one time. Don’t force one end of the card into
the socket first and then the other. This will create a rocking motion
between the card and the slot and it will damage the pins within the
socket.
• Make sure that the cards are seated securely into the slots.
• Before turning on the system, make sure no cards are touching each other
or are shorting.
If you follow these basic guidelines, there shouldn’t be any problems with
installation. However, if you do encounter any problems, have a qualified
professional install your cards for you or contact your card manufacturer.
Remember, always read the manuals and installation notes that come with the
adapter cards. They contain important information which will help you install
the components right, the first time.
Next, you need to install your 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
getting the best system available. To make installation easy and trouble free,
get high quality parts. Some brands we recommend are Advantage Memory,
Corsair Microsystems, Millenium, Kingston Memory, QesTec Incorporated,
Unigen, Micron Technology, and Crucial Technology. These DIMMs have
proven to be very stable on our boards and perform extremely well.
