Chapter 2: Board Installation
You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of the
S5501 matches the EATX specification. Before continuing with installation, confirm
that your chassis supports an EATX 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, MiTAC 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.

2.4 Installing the Processor
Processor Installation (LGA1156 Socket)
The processor should be installed carefully. Make sure you are wearing an antistatic
strap and handle the processor as little as possible. If your mainboard has dual
CPU sockets, please note that both processors of the same type and frequency
are required for optimal system performance.
The S5501 supported Intel
®
processors are listed in section 1.2 Hardware
Specifications on page 5. Check our website at http://www.tyan.com
for the latest
processor support.
MiTAC is not liable for damage as a result of operating an unsupported
configuration.
The diagram is provided as a visual guide to help you to install the socket processor
and may not be an exact representation of the processor you have.
Step1:
Locate the processor socket
and open the socket lever
Step 2: Open the load plate
25
http://www.tyan.com
Step3: Remove the socket protective
cover
Step4: Align the processor cutouts to
match the two socket pins, and insert
the processor into the socket
Step5: Close the load plate (see letter
“A”), close the socket lever, and
ensure the load plate tab engages
under the socket lever when fully
closed (see letter “B” and “C”).
26
http://www.tyan.com
Notes
Make sure the alignment triangle mark and the alignment triangle
cutout align correctly.
27
http://www.tyan.com
2.5 Installing the Heatsink
Heatsink Installation
After installing the processor, you should proceed to install the heat sink. The CPU
heat sink will ensure that the processor do not overheat and continue to operate at
maximum performance for as long as you own them. The overheated processor is
dangerous to the motherboard.
For the safest method of installation and information on choosing the appropriate
heat sink, using heat sinks validated by Intel
®
. Please refer to Intel’ ®s website at
www.Intel.com
.
The following diagram illustrates how to install heat sink onto the CPU of S5501.
1. If a protective film covers the thermal interface
material (TIM) on the underside of the heatsink,
remove the protective film.
2. Align heatsink fins to the front and back of the
chassis for correct airflow. Airflow goes from frontto-back of chassis.
3. Each heatsink has four captive fasteners and
should be tightened as shown
4. Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, finger-tighten
each fastener diagonally, according to the whitecircled numbers.
5. Securely re-tighten each fastener again in the
same order as performed in Step 4.
6. Attach fan power cable to server board as
shown.
7. Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed
or disconnected to reach the processor sockets.
2U Reference Heatsink Assembly 8. Replace the server's cover and reconnect the
AC power cord. Refer to the documentation that
came with your server chassis for instructions on
installing the server's cover.
28
http://www.tyan.com
2.6 Finishing Installing the Heatsink
After you have finished installing the heat sink onto the processor and socket,
attach the end wire of the fan (which should already be attached to the heat sink) to
the motherboard. The following diagram illustrates how to connect fans onto the
motherboard.
Once you have finished installing all the fans you can connect your drives (hard
drives, CD-ROM drives, etc.) to your motherboard.
NOTE
Adequate system airflow is required to ensure SAS controller
and attached drives work properly. It is the responsibility of the
system builder to ensure adequate system airflow by choosing
the correct chassis and system components.
29
http://www.tyan.com
2.7 Thermal Interface Material
There are two types of
thermal interface materials
designed for use with the
processors.
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:
Always 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.
