Chapter 2: Board Installation
You are now ready to install your 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.
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN
DAMAGED.

Processor Installation (G34 1944-pin Socket for AMD CPU)
Follow the steps below to install the processors and heatsinks
Please note that the illustrations are based on a G34 1944-pin Socket
which may be look exactly like the motherboard you purchased.Therefore,
the illustrations should be held for your reference only.

Step 1: Locate the CPU socket.
Step 2: Press the load lever with
your thumb, and then move it to
the right until it released from the
retention tab.
Step 3: Move the load lever to a
fully open position .
http://www.TYAN.com
18
Step 4: Lift the load plate to a fully
open position .
Step 5: Remove the PnP cap
from the CPU socket.
The CPU Socket is illustrated in
the image right.
http://www.TYAN.com
19
Step 6: Position the CPU over the
socket, ensuring that the gold
triangle is on the bottom-left
corner of the socket.
The CPU fits in only one
correct orientation. DO
NOT force the CPU into
the socket to prevent
bending the connectors on
the socket and damaging
the CPU.
Step 7: Close the load lever of the
socket and press the CPU socket
lever down to lock the CPU in
place.
Step 8: Insert the load lever under
the retention tab. Repeat the
same procedures to install the
other CPU.

Heat sink Installation
After installing the processor,you should proceed to install the heat
sink.The CPU heat sink will ensure that the processor do not
overheated and continue to operate at maximum performance for as
long as you own them.The overheated processors is dangerous to the
motherboard.
For the safest method of installation and information on choosing the
appropriate heat sink, using heat sinks validated by AMD website :
http:// www,amd.com
The following diagram illustrates how to install heat sink onto the CPU of
S8028.
Step 9: Place the heat sink on top
of the CPU and secure it to the
motherboard with 2 screws.
http://www.TYAN.com
21
2.5 - 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 heat sink 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 heat
sink 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).
Always check with the manufacturer of the heat sink & processor
to ensure the thermal Interface material is compatible with the
processor and meets the manufacturer’s warranty requirements.

2.6 - 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 preinstall 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.
http://www.TYAN.com
23
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.
24
http://www.TYAN.com
2.7 - Installing the Memory
Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is
compatible with the motherboard and processor.
Overview
The motherboard comes with twelve Double Data Rate 3（DDR3）Dual
Inline
Memory Modules （DIMM）sockets.
The figure illustrate the location of the DDR3 DIMM socket.
Check the TYAN
®
Web site at: www.TYAN.com for details of the type of
memory recommended for your motherboard.
The following diagram shows common types of DDR3 memory modules.
TYAN® S8028 series support up to 96GB Registered and
64GB unbuffered DDR-3 memory.
DDR3 RDIMM, UDIMM are supported up to maximum of
1333MHz
All installed memory will automatically be detected and no
jumpers or settings need changing.
All memory must be of the same type and density.
Always populate the memory starting from P0_DIMMA1
first.
1). For the DIMM number please refer to the motherboard
placement in “2.3 - Board Parts, Jumpers and Connectors” for
memory installation.
2). Refer to the memory population option table for recommended
memory installation instruction.
