I finaly got around to testing/setting up the Tyan Tiger 100 from overstock.com and I can't seem to get power to the mobo I've looked at the documentation from Tyan.com but I can't figure out where the Power LED goes and as well as the other ones. I've tried but still a no go situation does anybody have any ideas?

Haha! I looked at the damned motherboard like it had fangs as well. You see all the gold pins grouped together? There are two rows of 9 I believe. The top rows are odd numbers (1,3,5,7,etc.) and the bottom evens. The paper that comes with the mobo says that the power connector should be connected at 1-3, that means that it connects the first two pins on the top. Don't quote me on the actual numbers or what's supposed to be plugged in there, but you get the idea. And the number 1 starts on the right side if you're looking at the pins head on. That should get you going.
 
well got power to the board, little yellow light on, and cpu fan running, so should be only a matter of time before the rest is going.
thanks from wellcky
 
Thanks guys I had put the LED stuff, sorry but I don't remember the technical term, on the other end never really dawned upon me to try the other end.. Thanks for all your help, you too Russ!! 😀
 
board is lit up fans running but can't get video.
have tried two different video cards--nothing.
any suggestions?
 
can any one help?
this board will post and i can enter bios, it finds the hard drive and cd rom but will not boot!
the floppy does not seem to be found but gets power as when the ribbon is attached backwards it lights all the time, but when put on correctly it wont do anything.
as i said it will run through the ram check, find HDD, find CDROM, nothing on floppy, then go to a blank screen with the curser blinking in the upper left hand corner.
Any suggestions will be more than welcomed and a week of your favorite Distributed computing project will be run on it (@your email) for helping
thanks
 
The *** is being retured 🙁 I'll just have to see what deals Gen. Nanosys. has...
but I do want to thank you all that helped at least we go it to post 🙂!!!

Orange Kid - Sounfs like something is not seated right or something's up with the CMOS.

Have you reset the CMOS to default settings?

Are you auto detecting the IDE drives and the floppy?

What are you trying to boot from? The Floppy? The CD-ROM? What is it set at in the bios?

Do you have the bare minimum cards in slots (basically just a video card)?

<< Have you reset the CMOS to default settings? >>


On numerous ocasions; Default, safe, and many other combos. Cleared the settings(jumper) many times too.



<< Are you auto detecting the IDE drives and the floppy? >>


everything is set to auto, also tried user.



<< What are you trying to boot from? The Floppy? The CD-ROM? What is it set at in the bios? >>


it is set to; 1st floppy, 2nd HDD, 3rdCDROM, and then anything else,
tried plugging in only one at a time to get it to boot NADA
tried nothing plugged in NADA
i should at least get a no OS or something but NADA



<< Do you have the bare minimum cards in slots (basically just a video card)? >>


that is all that is in there. a video card-no sound ,no nic , no nothing extra

its going back. has to be something with the cmos or bios and with no floppy activity i cant flash it. a hard boot with ctrl+home does nothing. i'm totally stumped.

thanks all for your help
 
Last item - have you tried swapping in different memory. I had the same problem and it turned out the memory was bad. It would post but not boot. Very similar to the problem you're now having.

I would try one more stick of memory (who knows, maybe it got &quot;zapped&quot😉. Otherwise, I'm fresh out of ideas.
