Equipment Racks

To avoid injury or damage to the equipment:

· Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines
for manual materials handling.

· Do not attempt to move a rack by yourself; a minimum of two people are
needed to move a rack.

· Do not attempt to move a fully loaded rack. Remove equipment from the
rack before moving it.

· Do not attempt to move a rack on an incline that is greater than 10 degrees
from the horizontal.

· Make sure the rack is properly secured to the floor or ceiling.

· Make sure the stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack

installation.

· Make sure racks are coupled together if it is a multiple-rack installation.

· Make sure the rack is level and stable before installing an appliance in the

rack.

· Make sure the leveling jacks are extended to the floor.

9

http://www.tyan.com

· Make sure the full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.

· Always load the rack from the bottom up. Load the heaviest component in

the rack first.

· Make sure the rack is level and stable before pulling a component out of the
rack.

· Make sure only one component is extended at a time. A rack might become
unstable if more than one component is extended.

To avoid damage to the equipment:

· The rack width and depth must allow for proper serviceability and c able
management.

· Ensure that there is adequate airflow in the rack. Improper installation or
restricted airflow can damage the equipment.

system. The system might have one or more power cords.

· Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily
accessible at all times.

· In all European electrical environments, you must ground the Green/Yellow
tab on the power cord. If you do not ground the Green/Yellow tab, it can
cause an electrical shock due to high leakage currents.

·

Do not place objects on AC power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no

10

http://www.tyan.com

one might accidentally step on or trip over them.

· Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from the electric al outlet,
grasp the cord by the plug.

· To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect all power cords before
servicing the appliance.

Chapter 2: Setting Up

2.0.1 Before you Begin

This chapter explains how to install the CPUs, CPU heatsin ks, memory
modules, and hard drives. Instructions on inserting add on cards are
also given.

2.0.2 Work Area

Make sure you have a stable, clean working envir onment. Dust and dirt
can get into components and cause malfunctions. Use containers to
keep small components separated. Putting all small components in
separate containers prevents them from becoming lost. Adequate
lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging
the internal components.

2.0.3 Tools

The following procedures require only a few tools, including the
following:

 A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver
 A grounding strap or an anti-st atic pad
 A T30 Security Torx screwdriver

Most of the electrical and mechanical connec tions can be disconnected
using your fingers. It is recommended that you d o not use needle-nosed
pliers to remove connectors as these can damage the soft metal or
plastic parts of the connectors.

Caution!

1. To avoid damaging the motherboar d and associated

components, use torque force within the range 5~7

kgf/cm (4.35 ~ 6.09 lb/in) on each mounting screw

for motherboard installation.

2. Do not apply power to the board if it has been
damaged.

http://www.tyan.com

40

2.0.4 Precautions

Components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by
discharges of static electricity. Working on a system that is connected to
a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the guidelines
below to avoid damage to FT77D-B7109 or injury to yourself.

 Ground yourself properly before removing the top cover of the

system. Unplug the power from the power supply and then touch a
safely grounded object to release static charge (i.e. power supply
case). If available, wear a grounded wrist strap. Alternatively,
discharge any static electricity by touching the bar e metal chassis
of the unit case, or the bare metal body of any other grounded
appliance.

 Avoid touching motherboard components, IC chips, connectors,

memory modules, and leads.

 The motherboard is pre-installed in the system. When removing

the motherboard, always place it on a groun ded anti-static surface
until you are ready to reinstall it.

 Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the

components on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Do not
flex or stress circuit boards.

 Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they

ship with until they are ready for installation.

 After replacing optional devices, make sure all scre ws, springs, or

other small parts are in place and are not left loose inside the case.
Metallic parts or metal flakes can cause electrical shorts.

44

3. Locate the CPU socket’s gold arrow. Always start with CPU0 first. Remove the
CPU Socket protection cap.

NOTE: A new heatsink comes with pre-applied thermal grease.

Once the heatsink has been removed from the processor, you need to clean the
processor and heatsink using an alcohol solvent. Then apply new thermal grease
before reinstalling the heatsink.

4. Carefully flip the heatsink. Align the heatsink with the CPU socket by the guide
pins and make sure the gold arrow is located in the correct direction. Then place the
heatsink onto the top of the CPU socket.

http://www.tyan.com

Chapter 4: Motherboard Information

You are now ready to install your motherboard.

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 that 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 a safely grounded object to release static charge (i.e. power
supply case). For the safest conditions, MITAC recommends wearing a
static safety wrist strap.

(2) Hold the motherboard by its edges and do not touch the bottom of the

board, or flex the board in any way.

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

memory modules, and leads.

(4) Place the motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the antist ati c

bag that the board was shipped in.

(5) Inspect the board for damage.

The following pages include details on how to install your motherboard into your
chassis, as well as installing the processor, memory, disk drives and cables.

Caution!

1. To avoid damaging the motherboar d and associated

components, use torque force within the range 5~7

kgf/cm (4.35 ~ 6.09 lb/in) on each mounting screw

for motherboard installation.

2. Do not apply power to the board if it has been
damaged.

4.5 Thermal Interface Material

There are two types of
thermal interface materials
designed for use with the
processors.

The most common material
comes as a small pad
attached to the heat sink at
the time of purchase. There
should be a protective cover
over the material. Take care
not to touch this material.
Simply remove the protective
cover and place the heat sink
on the processor.

The second type of interface
material is usually packaged
separately. It is commonly
referred to as ‘thermal
compound’. Simply apply a
thin layer on to the CPU lid
(applying too much will
actually reduce the cooling).

NOTE: Always check with the manufacturer of the heat sink & processor to

ensure that the thermal interface material is compatible with the processor and
meets the manufacturer’s warranty requirements.

4.6 Tips on Installing Motherboard in Chassis

Before installing your motherboard, make sure your chassis has the necessary
motherboard support studs installed. These studs are usually metal and a re gold in
color. Usually, the chassis manufacturer will pre-install the support studs. If you ar e
unsure of stud placement, simply lay the motherb oard inside the chassis and align
the screw holes of the motherboard to the studs inside the case. If there are any
studs missing, you will know right away since the motherboard will not be able to b e
securely installed.

NOTE: Be especially careful to look for extra stand-offs. If there are any stand-offs

present that are not aligned with a mounting hole on the motherboard, it will likely
short components on the back of the motherboard when installed. This will cause
malfunction and/or damage to your motherboard.

http://www.tyan.com

100

Some chassis include plastic studs instead of metal. Although the plastic studs are
usable, MITAC recommends using metal studs with screws that will fasten the
motherboard more securely in place.

Below is a chart detailing what the most common motherboard studs look like an d
how they should be installed.
