· Ensure that the voltage and frequency of your power source match the
voltage and frequency inscribed on the electrical rating label of the
equipment.

· Do not install the system in or near a plenum, air duct, radiator, or heat
register.

· Never use the product in a wet location.

Equipment Chassis

· Do not block or cover the openings to the system.

· Never push objects of any kind through openings in the equipment.

Dangerous voltages might be present.

· Conductive foreign objects can produce a short circuit and cause fire,
electric shock, or damage to your equipment.

· Lift equipment using both hands and with your knees bent.

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 cable
management.

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

· The rack cannot have solid or restricted airflow doors. You must use a
mesh door on the front and back of the rack or remove the doors to ensure
adequate air flow to the system.

· If you install the Model in a rack, do not place equipment on top of the unit.
It will cause restricted airflow and might cause damage to the equipment.

·

Make sure the product is properly matted with the rails. Products that are

improperly matted with the rails might be unstable.

·

Verify that the AC power supply branch circuit that provides power to the

rack is not overloaded. This will reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or
damage to the equipment. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent
of the branch circuit rating. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction
over your facility wiring and installation requirements.

Equipment Power Cords

· Use only the power cords and power supply units provided with your
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 electrical outlet,
grasp the cord by the plug.

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

Equipment Batteries

· The system battery contains lithium manganese dioxide. If the battery pack
is not handled properly, there is risk of fire and burns.

· Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of
the battery in fire or water.

· Do not expose the battery to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F).

· The system battery is not replaceable. If the battery is replaced by an

incorrect type, there is danger of explosion. Replace the battery only with a
spare designated for your product.

· Do not attempt to recharge the battery.

· Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions of the manufacturer.

Do not dispose of batteries with the general household waste. To forward
them to recycling or proper disposal, use the public collection system or return
them to TYAN, your authorized TYAN partner, or their agents.

Chapter 2: Setting Up

2.0.1 Before you Begin

This chapter explains how to install the CPUs, CPU heatsinks, 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 environment. 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-static pad

 A T20 Security Torx screwdriver

 A Hex screwdriver

Most of the electrical and mechanical connections can be disconnected
using your fingers. It is recommended that you do 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 motherboard 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

32

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 GA88-B8021 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 bare 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 grounded 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 screws, 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.

Chapter 5: 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 antistatic

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 motherboard 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.
