Chapter 2: Board Installation

Installation

You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of the Tiger i7500
S2722 matches the ATX specification. Before continuing with installation, confirm that your
chassis supports a standard ATX 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, 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

You can reset the CMOS settings in case an incorrect
setting causes system instability or you have forgotten

your system/setup password or have just flashed your
BIOS by using these jumpers.

- Power off system, disconnect power supply from
motherboard

- Set jumper J21 to C lear CMOS

- Wait about 5 seconds

- Set jumper J21 to Normal

Front Panel Connector (J40)

Your chassis will usually come with connectors to
install onto the motherboard, such as HD and Power
LEDs. The Front Panel Connector (J40) has been
implemented for such purposes.

HD LED Header = Pin 1 & 3
Power LED Header = Pin 2 & 4

Power-On Switch = Pin 6 & 8
Reset Switch = Pin 5 & 7
Chassis Intrusion Header = Pin 17 & 18

Fan # Fan Description Functions Amp Rated (Maximum)

1 CPU 2 Fan RPM Read and controlled 1.2A
2 CPU 1 Fan RPM Read and controlled 1.2A
3 Chassis Fan 3 RPM Read and controlled* 1.2A or 2A*
4 Chassis Fan 4 RPM Read 1.2A
5 Chassis Fan 5 RPM Read 1.2A
6 Chassis Fan 6 RPM Read 1.2A
7 Chassis Fan 7 None 2A

* Fan3 can support a fan up to 2 Amperes current by setting JP3 jumper.

FAN3 Current Rate Select (JP3)

FAN connectors

Normal Up to 2 Amp on FAN3

Jumper open = FAN3 supports RPM read and fan
control. FAN3 current rate is up to 1.3 Amperes.

Jumper closed = FAN3 supports RPM read, but no
fan control. FAN3 current rate is up to 2 Amperes.

Use these headers to connect cooling fans, both chassis and
processor fans, to your motherboard. Cooling fans help keep the

system more stable and operating reliably for its product life.

+12V fans supported

2.7 – PCI Setup

Slot (1, 2): 64-bit 133/100/66MHz (3.3V) PCI-X / PCI

- 3.3 volt cards accepted

Slot (3): 32-bit 33MHz (5V) PCI

- 5 volt and 3.3 volt cards accepted

The PCI slots on the Tiger i7500 S2722 operate on independent PCI buses, which gives you
maximum bandwidth.

2.8 – Mounting the Motherboard

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’re 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.

TIP: Use metal studs if possible, as they hold the motherboard into place more securely than
plastic standoffs.
