Chapter 2: Board Installation
2.1 Installation
Once you’ve checked th at everything is ins ide the box (see p. 4 for details), you will then be ready to
install your mothe rboard . The m ounti ng ho le patt ern o f the m other board match es t he ATX board specif ications, so your chassis must be capable of suppor ting an Extended ATX board (check the mo therbo ard
dimensions provided on p. 8).
2.2 How to install our products right.. the first time.
Question: what’s the first thing I should do?
The first thing you should do is read the user’s manual. It contains important information which will make
configuration and setup much easier, as well as provide information on device installation and component
setup. By reading through the manual completely before installing your motherboard, you will have a
complete overview on the installation.
2.3 Here are some safety tips:
(1) Ground yourself properly before removing your motherboard from the antistatic bag. Unplug
the power from your computer power supply and touch any metal part on the computer case. (You
might also want to wear a grounded wrist strap.)
(2) Hold the motherboard by its edges and do not touch the bottom of the board.
(3) Avoid touching motherboard components, IC chips, connectors, and leads.
(4) Avoid touching pins of memory modules and chips.
(5) Place motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the antistatic bag.
Having reviewed the precautions above, the next step is to take the motherboard out of the cardboard box
and static bag, hold it by its edges, and place it on a grounded antistatic surface (such as the bag it came
in), component side up. Then, inspect the board for damage.
NOTE: DO NOT APPLY POWER T O THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED!
Press down on any of the socketed ICs if it appears that they are not properly seated (the board should
still be on an antistatic mat or on top of the bag it came in). Do not touch the bottom of the board. Remember, don’t take any electronic device out of its protective bag until you are ready to actually start installing
it into the computer case (e.g. setting jumpers, etc.) If you do not ground yourself, you risk zapping the
motherboard or adapter card. Subsequent problems may not arise immediately because electrostatic discharge, unlike physical damage, causes the device to fail over time.

2.4 Quick References for Jumpers
In this manual, the term “close d” and “on” are used wh en referring to jumpers (or jumper pins) that are
active; “open” and “off” a re u s ed whe n re fer ring to j u mp ers (or j um per pin s) that are inactive. See Figure
2.0a and Figure 2.0c for examples of “on” and “off” pins and jumpers.
Jumpers and pins are connec ted by slipping the plastic jum per connector over the top of tw o adjacent
jumper pins (indica ted b y 1-2 or 2-3 ). Th e met al r od insid e the plast ic shell bridg es the gap b etween the
two pins, completing the circ uit. See Figure 2.0b and Figure 2.0d for more examples of 3-pin jumper
connections. NOTE: The small number “1” indicates pin 1.
The tables and maps on the following pages will help you set the jumpers for CPU speed, infrared, and
external connector pin assignments, among others. The miniature motherboard maps will help you locate
the jumpers on your board. Full page maps of the motherboard can be found on the next two pages.

2.6-N. Soft Power Connector
The soft power c onnector is pa rt of jump er block J12 (pins 13 and 15) . This board uses the ch ipset for
power management, including turning on and off the system. If the power butto n function option in the
BIOS Power Management m enu is set to “On/Off” (wh ich is the d efault), pressing th e power bu tton once
after the BIOS has booted up will turn the system on and off. If the power button function is set to Suspend, pressing the power button once will wake up the system or send it to Suspend mode. In this case,
you cannot turn the syste m o ff unless you shu t d own thr oug h t he Windo ws op er ating syst em or you ho ld
the power button down for four seconds (BIOS-dependent feature).
2.6-O. Hardware Reset Switch Connector Installation
The reset switch on your chassis case provides you with the Hardware Reset function, which is the same
as power on/off, except that the system will immediately execute a cold start afte r the reset button is
pushed. The reset switch needs to be connected to jumper block J12 (pins 7 and 9).
2.6-P. Flash Utility
You can upgrade the BIOS of this motherboard by using the Flash Utility (see p. 46). Check the Tyan
website for more details: http://www.tyan.com

2.7 Mounting the Motherboard into the Chassis
Your chassis may include mounting hardware. If mounting hardware w as included, yo u can use the fo llowing examples to help you in installing your motherboard into the chassis.
The chassis may have com e wit h th e stud s int egr ate d in to t he cha ssis wa ll, so in t hose ca ses you wou ld
only need to use scre ws (p ossibly i nclude d with you r chass is) to instal l the m other board . See the ex amples (Figure 2.0, shown below) for more details.
If the chassis includes mounting hardware without the studs pre-installed, then you will need to install the
motherboard using the mounting hardware as shown in t he examples below. Remember not to overtighten any of the sc rews, or you might risk breaking i nternal tr aces in the su rroundi ng area, or damage
the motherboard in some other way.
Other examples of how to install your motherboard using other hardware (that may or may not have been
included with your chassis) are shown below.
