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) scre wdriver  A grounding strap or an anti-static pad

Most of the electrical and mechanical connections can be disconnected with your hands. It is recommended that you do not use pliers to remove connectors as it may damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

http://www.tyan.com

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 GT86A-B7051 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 loos e inside the case. Metallic parts or metal flakes can cause electrical shorts.
