TI-810+ Motherboard
Chapter 1
Introduction
1.1 Product Features
The TI-810+ highest performance motherboard is based on the all new Intel
810 chipset with Baby AT form factor to support the latest Socket 370
including Intel Pentium III FCPGA, Celeron FCPGA / PPGA as well as
Cyrix III processors. This chipset incorporates with AGP 3D Graphics
Support and an optional Crystal AC97 Audio. This motherboard is also
fully software configurable via AMI BIOS setup and supports high-speed
UDMA/66 IDE devices. The motherboard supports either an AT or ATX
Power Supply.
1.2 Full Software Configurable
TIGA motherboards are full software configurable. There is no jumper or
DIP switch on board and all the necessary hardware settings are made
through CMOS setup. This motherboard auto-detects the CPU brand and
core voltage, where as the CPU speed is selected in CMOS setup menu by
the instruction of users.
In addition, TIGA motherboard employs AMI BIOS which provides two
start-up hot keys “J”and “F”to give a way out of stability problems due to
improper CMOS settings. That is, to press “J”key at the same time to
switch on the system, which re-detects CPU brand and allows user to
select again in the CMOS setup. To press “F”key at the same time to
switch on the system clearing all CMOS settings (except BIOS passwords).

2.3 Function & Installation Instructions
2.3.1 AT Power Supply Connector (12-Pin)
This connector connects to a standard 5V power supply. To connect the leads from
the power supply, ensure first that the power supply is not power on. Most power
supplies provide two plugs, and each plug contains six wires. Two of six wires are
black and please orient the plugs to the connector so that 4 black wires are together.
AT Power Connector
At a slight angle, align the plastic guide pins on the lead to their receptacles on
the connector. Once aligned, press the lead onto the connector until the lead locks
into place.
2.3.2 ATX Power Supply Connector (20-Pin)
This connector connects to an ATX power supply. The plug from ATX power
supply will only insert in one orientation because of the different hole sizes. Find
the proper orientation and push down firmly making sure that the pins are aligned.
The system power can be turned off through software control, like the shut down
in Windows 2000 / ME / 98 / 95 start menu. Power management must be enabled in
the system BIOS in order to activate this soft-off feature. Once the system BIOS
receives the power management command from the OS, it will switch the system
power off.

optional USB/MIR connector set. You may use the bundled PS/2 mouse/parallel
port connector set if you just want to use a PS/2 mouse. Either connector set
connects to the 20-pin block and mounts to an open slot on your system’s chassis.
The system will direct IRQ12 to the PS/2 mouse if one is detected. If not detected,
expansion cards can use IRQ12.

EXPANSIONCARDSINSTALLATION
Before adding or removing any expansion cards or system components, confirm
that you already unplugged your power supply. Otherwise, it may severely
damage to your motherboard and expansion cards. Please follow the installation
procedures as below:
1. Check carefully if those hardware or software settings for your expansion cards
are in the proper position as shown in their User’s Manual.
2. Remove your computer case’s cover and unscrew the bracket plate for those
slots needed to insert.
3. Those expansion cards must be aligned on the slots firmly with good connection.
4. Put on the computer case cover.
5. If needed, set up the BIOS configuration and install the required drivers for your
expansion cards.
2.3.7 SDRAM Sockets
There are two SDRAM sockets on-board to provide more flexibility for your system
memory upgrade. Because the number of pins are different on either side of the

If you install two IDE devices on the same cable, you must configure the second
device to slave mode by setting its jumper accordingly. (Refer to your IDE device
document for the jumper settings. Pin 20 is removed to prevent inserting in the
wrong orientation when using ribbon cables with pin 20 plugged.)

2.3.15 PGA370S CPU Socket
The motherboard provides a ZIF Socket 370. The CPU that comes with the
motherboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If it is not so,
purchase a fan before you turn on your system.
Notice!!! Be sure that there is a sufficient air circulation across the processor’s
heatsink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working. Without sufficient
circulation, the processor could be overheated and it may damage both the processor
and the motherboard. You may install an auxiliary fan, if necessary.
Installation step:
1. Turn off the power of your system and remove its cover;
2. Locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from
the socket then upwards to a 90-degree angle;
3. Insert the CPU with correct orientation
(The CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, that the CPU only fit in the
orientation.)
4. Once completely inserted, pull down the socket’s lever to horizontal and make
sure the CPU is firmly locked in the socket.

Software Installation
Note:
Before installation, you must already have Windows 95/98/2000/ME
or Windows NT4.0 install on your computer.
The installation procedure is as below:
1. Make sure that Auto-insert detection is enabled for your CDROM drive.
It should be enabled by default.
2. Insert this CD disk into your CDROM drive.
3. The Explorer screen will then appear, that gives you instructions for
installation.
4. There may require restarts of Windows during some software setup. In
these cases, you can just eject then close the CD-tray in order to get
