Chapter 2: Board Installation

You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of
the Thunder n3600M S2932-E matches the EATX specification. Before
continuing with installation, confirm that your chassis supports an ATX
motherboard.

How to install our products right… the first time

The first thing you should do is reading 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, TYAN 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.

NOTE

DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN
DAMAGED.

Processor

Back plate Assembly

The back plate is mounted on the backside of the motherboard and enhances
local stiffness to support shock and vibration loads acting on the heat sink. The
back plate assembly prevents excessive motherboard warpage in the area near
the processor. Without a back plate, excessive warpage could cause serious
damage to electrical connections of the processor socket and integrated circuit
packages surrounding the processor. The back plate also serves as a stiffener
plate for the LGA socket.

While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components. Follow these
instructions to install your back plate:

1. Remove the release liner from the back plate.

2. Align the PEM nuts on the back plate to the holes on the reverse side
of the PCB.

3. First, insert the taller upper & lower middle PEM nuts through the
holes of the PCB. The remaining four shorter PEM nuts should
automatically fit the 4 holes on the PCB as shown in the following
pictures.

Let 2 upper &
lower-middle
PEM nuts pass
through the
holes.

23

4 PEM nuts
should fit 4
holes.

4

4. Locate four screw holes on socket and screw the socket to the PCB
board.

NOTE: Do not assemble CPU before securing socket with screws.

5. Inspect Socket F assembly to PCB. The Socket F must be tightly
attached onto the PCB. There must NOT be any gap between stand
off the PCB.

2

Processor Installation

The processor should be installed carefully. Make sure you are wearing an
antistatic strap and handle the processor as little as possible.
Follow these instructions to install your processor:

1. Place the PCB such that the socket cam side faces you. Make sure
the lever hook is on your top-left side.

2. Use your left thumb and forefinger to hold the lever hook, then pull it
to the left side to clear the retention tab.

3. Rotate the lever to a fully open position.

4. Lift the load plate to a fully open position.

5. Locate the Pin 1 indicator of the package. Align the package with the
socket and carefully insert the package into the socket with vertical
motion only. Vertically check if the CPU is seated well in the socket
housing. If not, take out the CPU, with vertical motion only, and
repeat the above steps.

NOTE: The alignment keys must be located in the notches of the package.

25

6. Remove the PnP cap. Use your left hand to hold the load plate.
Then use your right thumb to remove the PnP cap from the load plate.
With the package in the socket, the PnP cap removal process will not
damage the contacts.

7. Close the socket. Rotate the load plate onto the package lid.
Engage the load lever while pressing down lightly onto the load plate.
Secure the lever near the hook end under the retention tab.

8. Repeat this procedure for the second processor if necessary.

CPU VRD Heat Dispersion Notice

INSTALL FAN INTO CHASSIS TO LET AIR FLOW IN!!!

-To ensure that the board runs efficiently and does not overheat, make sure
there is air flow around the CPU VRD (as shown) to help disperse the heat
generated around the CPU.

2.5 - 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 are gold in color. Usually, the chassis manufacturer will pre-install
the support studs. If you are unsure of stud placement, simply lay the
motherboard 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 be
securely installed.

Some chassis’ include plastic studs instead of metal. Although the plastic
studs are usable, TYAN 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 and how they should be installed.

27

2.6 - Installing the Memory

Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible
with the motherboard and processor. Only DDR2 register ECC/non-ECC
memory modules are required. Check the TYAN Web site at:

www.tyan.com

The following diagram shows common types of DDR2 memory modules.

• All installed memory will automatically be detected and no jumpers or

settings need changing.
