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.

NOTE

DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED.

2.4 - Installing the Processor

Your brand new S4992 supports the latest 64-bit processor technology from AMD®. Only AMD® Opteron™ Rev. F 8000 series processors are certified and supported with this motherboard. Check our website for latest processor support. http://www.TYAN.com

is not liable for damage as a result of operating an unsupported

TYAN configuration.

The diagram is provided as a visual guide to help you install the socket processor and may not be an exact representation of the processor you have.

Step 1: Take off the CPU protection cap. Step 2: Pull the CPU lever up to unlock the CPU socket (A). Then open the

socket in the direction as shown (B). Step 3: Place the CPU on the CPU socket, ensuring that pin 1 is located in the right direction. Step 4: Close the CPU socket cover (A) and press the CPU socket lever down to secure the CPU (B).

Take care when installing the processor as it has very fragile connector pins below the processor and can bend and break if inserted improperly.

http://www.TYAN.com

2.5 - 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 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, use heat sinks validated by AMD. Please refer to AMD’s website at http://www.amd.com.

The following diagram illustrates how to install heat sink onto the CPU of S4992.

Place the heat sink on top of the CPU and secure it to the motherboard using two screws clockwise.

http://www.TYAN.com

2.6 - Thermal Interface Material

Always check with the manufacturer of the heat sink &

NOTE

processor to ensure the Thermal Interface material is compatible with the processor & meets the manufacturer’s warranty requirements

There are two types of thermal interface materials designed for use with the AMD® Opteron™ 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).

http://www.TYAN.com

2.7 - Finishing Installing the Heat sink

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.

http://www.TYAN.com

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.

http://www.TYAN.com

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

2.9 - Installing the Memory

Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard and processor. Check the TYAN® Web site at:

http://www.TYAN.com

your motherboard.

The following diagram shows common types of DDR2 memory modules.

for details of the type of memory recommended for

• AMD Opteron™ processors support 64bit (non-interleaved) or 128bit

(interleaved) memory configuration.

• ECC Registered DDRII-400/533/667/800 memory modules are

supported. But over 4 DIMM per CPU will cause the memory speed to clock down to a slower speed at 800MHz, so you cannot have 800MHz when full load test.

• All installed memory will automatically be detected and no jumpers or

settings need changing.

• S4992 supports up to 256GB of memory.

NOTE:

1). Refer to the memory population option table for detailed memory configuration instruction.

2). For the DIMM number please refer to the motherboard placement in “2.3 Board Parts, Jumpers and Connectors” for memory installation.

Memory Population Option Table

To correctly install the memory in pairs (DIMMA# + DIMMB#), refer to the table for supported population options. Start installing Memory modules from DIMM7 and DIMM8.
