Chapter 2: Board Installation
Installation
You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting holes pattern of the Tomcat i7210 S5112 matches the ATX specification. Before continuing with installation, confirm that your chassis supports a standard ATX motherboard.
How to install our products right…. the first time!
The first thing you should do read 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.

2.4 – Mounting the Motherboard
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’re 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.
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.
- Memory Type: The Tomcat i7210 S5112 supports unbuffered ECC and non-ECC type
Below is a chart detailing what the most common motherboard studs look like and how they should be installed it.
memory modules. Registered Memory is NOT supported.
TIP: Use metal studs if possible, as they hold the motherboard into place more securely than plastic standoffs.

Tomcat i7210 S5112 Chapter 2: Board Installation
2.5 – 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. For example, while PC1600 DDR modules are compatible with all DDR based motherboards, they will not work if you are required to run the motherboard and processor buses at 133MHz. For this, PC2100 DDR modules are required. Critically important is whether you’re using the recommended memory for the current board you have. For this information, please check TYAN’s web site at: www.tyan.com
The following diagram shows the types of RAM modules you may encounter depending on your board:
DDR Unbuffered
DDR Unbuffered ECC
Here are a few key points to note before installing memory into your Tomcat i7210 S5112:
• 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB unbuffered ECC and non-ECC
PC2100/PC2700/PC3200
DDR memory modules are supported
• All installed memory will be automatically detected - no need to set any jumpers
• The Tomcat i7210 S5112 supports up to 4GB of memory
• Registered Memory is NOT supported.
• You can install either single- or double-sided modules on this board. Each DIMM
can work respectively for single-channel mode and dual-channel mode. Please note that the same type and density memory modules are necessary while using dual­channel DDR, otherwise it may cause system instability.
Please refer to the following table for detailed dual-channel DDR.

• Supported System Bus Frequency and Memory Speed Combinations To use this type of DIMM… The processor’s system bus frequency must be…
DDR400 800MHz DDR333 *800MHz or 533MHz
*When using an 800MHz system bus frequency processor, DDR333 memory is clocked at 320MHz. This minimizes system latencies to optimize system throughput.
NOTE:
While using ECC type memory, it will take longer time to post. Due to the manner in which it counts the memory and has to write zero’s to every bit of the DDR module before progressing through the POST.
2.6 – Memory Installation Procedure
When installing memory modules, make sure the modules align properly with the memory socket. There should be keys (small indents) on your memory modules that fit according to the keys in the memory socket. DDR modules and sockets have only one key, which is slightly near the center of the module/socket. The method of installing memory modules is detailed in the following diagrams.
Once the memory modules are firmly seated in the socket, two clamps on either side will close and secure the module into the socket. Sometimes you may need to close the clamps manually.
To remove the memory module, simply push the clamps outwards until the memory module pops up. Then simply remove the module.
TIP: When installing memory, a module may require a considerable amount of force to seat properly, although this is very rare. To avoid bending and damaging your motherboard, place it on its anti-static bag and onto a flat surface, and then proceed with memory installation.
Note: You MUST unplug the power connector to the motherboard before performing system hardware changes, to avoid damaging the board or expansion device

2.7 – Installing the Processor and Heatsink
Your Tomcat i7210 S5112 supports the latest processor technologies from Intel. Check the following page on TYAN’s website for latest processor support:
http://www.tyan.com
The following diagrams will detail how to install your processor:
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.
1. Lift the lever on the socket until it is approximately 90
possible to the socket.
2. Align the processor with the socket. There are keyed pins underneath the processor
to ensure that the processor’s installed correctly.
3. Seat the processor firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until the processor
sits flush with the socket.
4. Place the socket lever back down until it locks into place.
5. Your processor is installed.
Take care when installing the processor as it h as very fragile connector pins below the processor that can bend and break if inserted improperly.
Heatsink Installation
After you are done installing the processor, you should proceed to installing the heatsink. Heatsink will ensure that the processor not overheat and continue to operate at maximum performance for as long as you own them. An overheated processor is dangerous to the health of the motherboard.
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, please refer to INTEL’s website at www.Intel.com.

Tomcat i7210 S5112 Chapter 2: Board Installation
Heatsink Installation
After you are done installing the processor, you should proceed to installing the heatsink. The heatsink will ensure that the processor does not overheat, and will continue to operate at maximum performance. An overheated processor is also dangerous to the long-term reliability of the motherboard.
The following diagram will illustrate how to install the most common heatsinks:
Install the mounting bracket onto the motherboard by aligning the bracket with the four holes around the processor socket. Once the bracket is aligned, press down on the four white pegs on the bracket until they insert securely, locking the bracket onto the motherboard. Then proceed to installing the heatsink. Instructions on how to install heatsinks should be provided with the heatsink itself.
First, use thermal compound (also called heatsink compound or thermal grease) and apply a small amount on to the processor’s core – the small shiny square in the center of the processor.
You may then use a small soft plastic tool, like a credit card to gently smear a thin layer of heatsink compound as evenly as you can across the core. In most cases, you don’t need to do this but it may help.
Then, at an angle, clip one side of the heatsink onto the socket and then lay the heatsink flat onto the processor. Then clip the other end of the heatsink down either with your finger or by using a flathead screwdriver.
Some heatsinks have a small clip on the inside of one of the clips which you can insert a small flathead screw driver into to secure the heatsink.
In most cases, either side of the heatsink can be clipped down last, but usually, the side of the socket where it is raised, secures last.
Because one side of the socket is raised (and usually has “SOCKET” imprinted into it) heatsinks have an indent on one side to secure flush with the raised side of the socket.
Be sure to carefully observe which side your heatsink is seated before securing it down to avoid damaging the processor, the heatsink or both.
