Chapter 2: Board Installation
Precaution: The Thunder K8W supports EPS12V/SSI type power supplies
(24pin + 8pin + 6pin) and will not operate with any other types. For proper power
supply installation procedures see page 26.
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

2.05 – Installing the Processor(s)
The Thunder 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
NOT If using a single processor, it MUST be installed in socket
CPU0. When using a single processor only CPU0 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 underneath 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.
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.
WWW.TYAN.COM
17
The back- plate assembly prevents excessive motherboard flexing in the area
near the processor and provides a retention bracket for the heatsink.
Because there are many different types of heatsinks available from many
different manufacturers, many have their own method of installation. For the
safest method of installation and information on choosing the appropriate
heatsink, consult the recommended list at www.amd.com .
The following diagram will illustrate how to install back-plate and retention
frame:
(1) Mounting screws
(2) Retention frame
(3) CPU socket
(4) Motherboard PCB
(5) Adhesive insulator material
(6) Back-plate assembly
NOTE: Please see next section for specific instructions on
Thermal Interface Material
Aways check with the manufacturer of the heatsink & processor to
NOTE
ensure the Thermal Interface material is compatible with the
processor & meets the manufacturer’s warranty requirements
how to install mounting bracket.
There are two types of thermal interface materials
designed for use with the AMD Opteron processor.
The most common ma terial 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’ or ‘thermal grease’. Apply a thin,
even layer on to the CPU lid (applying too much will
reduce the effectiveness ).

1. Once you have completed installing the backplate and interface material; align the retention
bracket screw hole with CPU back-plate standoffs.
Tighten screws to secure retention bracket.
Repeat for on other side.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
2. After tightening screws secure metal clip to
plastic retention bracket center tab. Repeat for on
other side of heatsink.
3. After securing metal clip to plastic retention
bracket center tab, push down on plastic clip to
lock plastic clip to side tab.
1. Align the heatsink retention frame screw hole with back plate assembly standoffs. Place heatsink inside retention
bracket. Place metal clip over retention frame tab.
2. Insert screw through metal clip. Check that the
heatsink’s metal clip is and the tab on the retention frame
are as illustrated.
3. Tighten screw through metal clip. Repeat on other side.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
Finishing Installing the Heatsink
WWW.TYAN.COM
19
After you have finished installing the heatsink onto the processor and
socket, attach the end wire of the fan (which should already be attached to
the heatsink) to the motherboard. The following diagram illustrates how to
connect fans onto the motherboard.
2.06 – Installing M otherboard in Chassis
B efore installing your motherboard, make sure your chassis is designed to
support SSI or Extended ATX motherboards. The S2885 has 13 mounting
holes to secure it in the chassis. These mounting holes are highlighted in
the image below.
Be sure to use all of the mounting holes available
NOTE
2.07 – Installing the Memory
Do not overtighten the screws as this can damage the
motherboard
WWW.TYAN.COM
20
Before attempting to install any memory, make sure that the memory you
have is compatible with the motherboard as well as the processor.
The following diagram shows common types of DDR SDRAM modules:
Here are a few key points to note before installing memory into your
Thunder K8 W
•Always install memory beginning with CPU0/ DIMMA1
•In order to access memory on CPU2; both processors must be
installed
•Configure memory symmetrically for each CPU for best
performance
•AMD OpteronTM processors support 64bit (non-interleaved) or
128bit (interleaved) memory configurations (See chart on next
page)
•At least ONE Registered DDR SDRAM module must be installed
for the system to turn on and POST (power on self test)
•128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB* Registered PC2700/
PC2100/PC1600 DDR SDRAM memory modules are supported
•All installed memory will be automatically detected
•The Thunder K8 W supports up to 16GB with two CPU’s installed
*2GB Registered PC2700 modules not available at time of print
