Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1 Congratulations!

You are now the owner of the TYAN Tomcat i815ef motherboard. The TYAN Tomcat i815ef

provides leading edge features and performance for systems based on the Flex ATX form factor.

Utilizing the Intel 815e (B-Step) chipset, this system board supports Intel’s Celeron, Pentium III as

In addition to flexible processor support, the Tomcat i815ef features dual LAN ports, perfect for

supporting simultaneous connections to a network and a broadband communications device. This

platform also features two DIMM sockets, two PCI slots, dual-channel UltraDMA-100, USB and

more! *Please see TYAN’s website for updates and information concerning CPU information and

support:

http://www.TYAN.com

While the Tomcat i815ef is designed to fit into tight quarters, it also offers expansion options via

two PCI slots. However, with all critical devices and tool built onboard already, the Tomcat i815ef

cuts down on costs as well as time.

Chapter 2: Board Installation

Installation

You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of the Tomcat i815ef

matches the ATX system board specifications. Your chassis should support a standard ATX

motherboard form factor.

How to install our products right… the first time

The first thing you should do is read this user’s manual. It contains important information which 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 the power supply.

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.

(3) Avoid touching the motherboard components, IC chips, connectors, and leads.

(4) Avoid touching memory module contacts and IC chips

(5) Place the motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the antistatic bag from

which it came in.

Having reviewed the precautions above, the next step is to take the motherboard 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.

NOTE DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED

2.1 – Jumper Section

Pin outs for certain connectors are available on the Tyan website: http://www.tyan.com

2.1a Front Panel Connector (J15)

Your chassis will usually come with connectors to install onto the motherboard, such as HDD and

Power LEDs. The Front Panel Connector (J80) has been implemented for such purposes.

17 15 13 11 9 7 5 3 1

18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 1,3: HD LED

2,4: Power LED

5,7: Reset Switch

6,8: Power Switch

11-17: Infra Red (IR) On/Off

2.6b – CMOS Reset (JP1)

1 2 3 1,2: Connect these two pins together to reset the CMOS settings in case an

incorrect setting causes system instability or you have forgotten your system/setup

password of have just flashed your BIOS.

-Power off the system and disconnect the power supply.

-Close pins 2 and 3 on JP1

-Wait about 5 seconds

-Close pins 1 and 2 on JP1

-Reconnect the power supply and power on the system

2.6c – Disable/Enable LAN1 (JP5)

1 2 Closed (default): LAN1 port is disabled.

Open: LAN1 port is enabled.

http://www.tyan.com

2.6d – Disable/Enable LAN2 (JP4)

Closed (default): LAN1 port is disabled.

Open: LAN1 port is enabled.

2.6e – Hard drive activity LED (J12)

Use this jumper to connect your chassis’ hard drive LED.

2.6f – Flash Open (JP2)

1 2 Closed (default): Allows you to upgrade the onboard CMOS

Open: Prevents onboard CMOS from being upgraded

2.6g – COM2 connector (PJ2)

This connector allows you to use the supplied serial extension cable if you need to use more than

1 serial devices.

2.6h – Chassis Intrusion header (J7) [optional]

1 2 Use these connectors if your chassis has intrusion detection, otherwise, leave it as is.

2.6i–USB connector (J18)

This connector allows you to use your chassis’ front panel USB connector if it comes with one.

If 3 and 4 are connected (default), the motherboard will use the onboard speaker for

audio related purposes. If 3 and 4 are not connected, you may use you chassis’

internal speaker. Either one will be fine.

2.6k –ACPI LED (J33)

Use this connector if your chassis has front LEDs for notification for sleep or suspend

modes.

2.7 Mounting the motherboard

Your chassis may include mounting hardware. If mounting hardware was included, you can use

the following examples to help you in stalling your motherboard into the chassis.

If your chassis has the studs integrated into the chasses wall, then you would only need to use

screws (possibly included with your chassis) to install the motherboard. See examples (Figure 2.0,

shown below for more details.

If the chassis includes mounting hardware without the studs pre-installed, then you will need to

install the motherboard using the mounting hardware as shown in the examples below.

Remember not to over tighten any of the screws, or you may risk breaking internal traces in the

surrounding area, or damage the motherboard in some other way.

Other examples of how to install your motherboard using other hardware (that may or may not

have been included with your chassis) are shown below.

One solution for installing motherboardType of hardware Another solution

NOTE The diagrams above are only representative of a few solutions for installing a

motherboard into the chassis. The installation procedure for installing your

motherboard into the chassis may differ.

2.8 Installing Memory

Please keep in mind that although some memory modules may appear to be high-quality, they

may contain inferior or substandard parts. The type of memory you choose to install should be

checked against the memory compatibility list, which is available from Tyan’s website at

http://www.tyan.com.

Here are some details of memory installation for this board:

-At least one SDRAM DIMM must be installed for the system to POST.

-Supports 128MB, 256MB, and 512MB PC133/100 SDRAM.

-All installed memory will be automatically detected.

-The motherboard supports up to 512MB of PC133 unregistered/unbuffered SDRAM

memory.

Memory Installation Procedure

Step1: Line your module up so that the pins fit into the socket. There is only one way your DIMM

can fit properly. Make sure that the short row of pins is lined up with the short gap in the DIMM

socket, just as the long row of pins should line up with the long gap in the DIMM socket.

Step2: Insert the DIMM by pushing the module into the socket with even force Do not insert one

end and then the other: install the whole module at once or you might bend the DIMM pins. Make

sure the DIMM is securely seated.

NOTE Your memory modules may not look like those in the above diagram; they are

used simply as examples.

Look the DIMM into place by pushing the clips back on either end of the socket onto the notches

in the ends of the DIMM (see pictures above details).
