http://www.tyan.com 25 2.6 Tips on Installing Motherboard in Chassis Before installing your motherboar d, make sure your chassis has the necessar y motherboard support studs in stalle d. These studs are usually metal and a re gold in color. Usually, the chassis manufacturer will pre-install the support studs.
Page 26

http://www.tyan.com 26 Some chassis include plastic studs instead o f metal. Although the plastic studs are usable, MiTAC recommends using metal stu ds with screws that will fasten the motherboard more securely in plac e. Below is a chart detailing what the most common motherboard studs look like and how they should be installed.

http://www.tyan.com 89 Glossary ACPI (Advanced Configu ration and Pow er Interface): a power management specification that allo ws the operating system to cont rol the amount of power distributed to the computer’s devices. Devices not in use can be turned off, reducing unnecessary power expenditure.
Page 90

http://www.tyan.com 90 Bus: a data pathway. The term is used especially to refer to the connectio n between the processor and system memory, and bet ween the processor a nd PCI or ISA local buses. Bus mastering: allo ws peripheral devices and IDEs to access the s ystem memory without going through the CPU (similar to D MA channels).
Page 91

http://www.tyan.com 91 DRAM (Dynamic RAM): widely available, ver y affordable form of RAM which looses data if it is not recharged re gularl y (ever y few milliseconds). This refresh requirement makes DRAM three to ten times slower than non-recharged RAM such as SRAM.
Page 92

http://www.tyan.com 92 I/O (Input/Output): the connection between your computer and another piece of hardware (mouse, keyboard, etc.) IRQ (Interrupt Request): an electronic request that r uns from a hardware device to the CPU.
