NOTES:

Chapter 2: Board Installation

Precautions: The Tiger K8WE supports SSI, EPS12V type power supplies (24pin + 8pin) and will not operate with any other types. For proper power supply installation procedures see page 36.

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 Tiger K8WE supports the latest 64-bit processor technology from AMD. Only AMD Opteronprocessor 200 series are certified and 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 CPU1. When using a single processor only CPU1 memory

banks are addressable.

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

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.

2.5 - Heatsink Retention Frame Installation

After you are done installing the processor(s), you should proceed to 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 also 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.
