Chapter 2: Board Installation
Precautions: The Thunder K8HM supports SSI, EPS12V type power supplies
(24pin + 8pin) and will not operate with any other types. For proper power supply installation procedures see page 37.
DO NOT USE ATX 2.x 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 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.
NOTE
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN
DAMAGED.

2.4 - Installing the Processor(s)
Your brand new Thunder K8HM supports the latest 64-bit processor technology from AMD. Only the AMD Opteron supported with this motherboard. Check our website for latest processor support. http://www.tyan.com
If using a single processor, it MUST be installed in socket
NOTE
TYAN is not liable for damage as a result of operating an unsupported configuration.
CPU1. When using a single processor only CPU1 memory banks are addressable.
processor 200 series are certified and
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.
Step 1: Lift the lever on the socket until it is approximately 90o or as far back as possible to the socket. Step 2: Align the processor with the socket. There are keyed pins underneath the processor to ensure that the processor’s installed correctly. Step 3: Seat the processor firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until the processor sits flush with the socket. Step 4: Place the socket lever back down until it locks into place. The installation is finished. 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
23
2.5 - Heatsink Retention Frame Installation
After you are done installing the processor(s), you should proceed with 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 dangerous to 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:
1. Mounting screws
2. Heatsink retention frame
3. CPU socket
4. Motherboard PCB
5. Adhesive insulator material
6. Backplate assembly
NOTE: Please see next section for specific instructions on how to install mounting bracket.
http://www.tyan.com
24
2.6 - Thermal Interface Material
Always check with the manufacturer of the heatsink &
NOTE
processor to ensure the Thermal Interface material is compatible with the processor & meets the manufacturer’s warranty requirements
http://www.tyan.com
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).
25
2.7 - Heatsink Installation Procedures
Type A: CAM LEVER (TYPE) INSTALLATION
1. After placing backplate and interface material under motherboard place heatsink retention frame on top of motherboard. Align plastic retention bracket screw holes with CPU back­plate standoffs. Tighten screws to secure plastic retention bracket. Repeat for the other side. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
2. After tightening screws secure metal clip to plastic retention bracket center tab. Repeat for the 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.
http://www.tyan.com
26
2. Insert screw through metal clip.
de.
Type B: SCREW RETENTION TYPE HEATSINK
1. After placing CPU back-plate and adhesive interface material under motherboard, place heatsink retention frame on top of motherboard. Align heatsink retention frame screw hole with backplate assembly standoffs. Place heatsink inside plastic retention bracket. Place metal clip over retention frame tab. Repeat for other side.
BE SURE METAL CLIP IS LOCKED ONTO RETENTION FRAME TAB.
3. Tighten screw through metal clip. Repeat on the other si DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
http://www.tyan.com
27
Finishing Installing the Heatsink
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.
Once you have finished installing all the fans you can connect your drives (hard drives, CD-ROM drives, etc.) to your motherboard.
http://www.tyan.com
28
2.8 - 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 pre-install 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.
Pay attention when installing board in chassis. Some components are near the mounting holes and can be damaged.
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.
http://www.tyan.com
29
2.9 - Installing the Memory
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:
Key points to note before installing memory into Thunder K8HM:
For optimal dual-channel DDR operation, always install memory in pairs beginning with CPU1_DIMMA3 and CPU1_DIMMB3. Memory modules of the same type and density are required for dual-channel DDR operation. Mismatched memory may cause system instability.
When the DIMMs are not fully populated, the system can support 256MB, 512MB, 1GB and 2GB of PC2100/2700/ Registered memory modules.
However, if 8 DIMMs and 16 DIMMs are populated for single and dual
CPU operation respectively, the system can only support up to PC2100.
All installed memory will be automatically detected. The Thunder K8HM S3892 supports up to 32GB of memory.
http://www.tyan.com
30
To correctly install the memory in pairs (DIMMA# + DIMMB#), refer to the following table for supported population options.
Population Option 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 CPU1_DIMMA0 x x x x x x CPU1_DIMMB0 x x x x x x CPU1_DIMMA1 x x x x x x CPU1_DIMMB1 x x x x x x CPU1_DIMMA2 x x x x CPU1_DIMMB2 x x x x CPU1_DIMMA3 x x x x CPU1_DIMMB3 x x x x

Single CPU Installed (CPU1 only)
Dual CPU installed (CPU1 and CPU2)
