Chapter 2: Board Installation

Precaution: The Tiger K8W supports EPS12V power supplies (24-pin/8-pin) and will not

operate with any other types.
DO NOT USE ATX 2.x, ATX12V or ATXGES power supplies as they will damage the

board and void your warranty.

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

- Power off system and disconnect

both power connectors from
the motherboard

- Use jumper cap to close Pin_2
and Pin_3 for several seconds to
Clear CMOS

- Put jumper cap back to Pin_1 and
Pin_2 (default setting)

Reconnect power & power on system

2.23 – Installing the Processor(s)

Your brand new T iger K8W supports the latest 64-bit processor technologies from AMD.
Only AMD Opteron™ processor 200 series are certified and supported with this
motherboard.

Check our website for latest processor support. http://www.tyan.com

NOTE

If using a single processor, it MUST be installed in socket CPU1.
When using a single processor only CPU1 memory banks are
addressable.

TYAN is not liable for damage as a result of operating an unsupported configuration.

The diagram is provided as a visual guide to help you install socket processors and may
not be an exact representation of the processors you have.

Lift the lever on the socket until it is approximately 90o or as far back as possible to the
socket.
Align the processor with the socket. There are keyed pins unde rneath the processor to
ensure that the processor’s installed correctly.
Seat the processor firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until the processor sits
flush with the socket.

Place the socket lever back down until it locks into place.
Your processor is installed.
Repeat these steps for the second processor if you are using two processors.

Take care when installing processors as they have very fragile connector pins below the
processor and can bend and break if inserted improperly.

http://www.TYAN.com

21

2.24 - Heatsink Retention Frame Installation

After you are done installing the processor(s), you should proceed to installing the
retention frame and heatsink. The CPU heatsink will ensure that the processors do not
overheat and continue to operate at maximum performance for as long as you own them.

Overheated processors are also dangerous to the health of the motherboard.
The backplate assembly prevents excessive motherboard flexing in the area near the

processor and provides a base for the installation of the heatsink retention bracket and
heatsink.

Because there are many different types of heatsinks available from many different
manufacturers, a lot of them have their own method of installation. For the safest method

of installation and information on choosing the appropriate heatsink, use heatsinks
validated by AMD. Please refer to AMD’s website at www.amd.com.
The following diagram will illustrate how to install the most common CPU back plates:

Mounting screws
Heatsink retention frame
CPU socket
Motherboard PCB
Adhesive insulator material
Backplate assembly

NOTE: Please see next section
for specific instructions on how
to install mounting bracket.

http://www.TYAN.com

2.25 -- Thermal Interface Material

There are two types of thermal
interface materials designed for
use with the AMD Opteron
processor.

The most common material
comes as a small pad attached
to the heatsink 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 heatsink 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

Al ways check with the manufacturer of the heatsink & processor to
ensure the Thermal Interface material is compatible with the

processor & meets the manufacturer’s warranty requirements
