Chapter 2: Board Installation
Installation
You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting holes pattern of the Tomcat
i7230A S5160 matches the ATX specificatio n. Bef ore conti nuing with installat ion, conf irm that
your chassis supports a standard ATX motherboard.
How to install our products right…. the first time!
The first thing you should do re ad this user’s manual. It contains important infor mation that
will make configuration and setu p much easier. Here are some precautions you should take
when installing your motherboard:
(1) Ground yourself properly before removing your motherbo ard from the ant istatic 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 ba g that
the board was shipped in.
(5) Inspect the board for damage.
The following pages include details on how to install your m otherboard 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 – Mounting the Motherboard
Before installing your m otherboard, ensure that your chas sis is fully compatible. The Tomc at
i7221 S5150 motherboard conforms fully to the ATX specification. Your chassis should include
preinstalled mounting posts that match exactly with the mounting holes in the motherboard.
Lay the motherboard on top of the mounting holes to ensure that all the necessary m ounting
posts exist in your chassis and that they match the mounting holes on the motherboard.
Some chassis’ include plastic studs instead of metal. Although the plastic studs are usab le,
TYAN recommends using metal studs with screws that will fasten the motherboard more
securely in place.
See the diagram below for some examples of typical motherboard fixing studs.
TIP: Use metal s tuds if possible, as they hold the motherboard into place more se curely than
plastic standoffs.

2.5 – Install ing Memory
Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the
motherboard and processor. DDR -II 533/6 67 modu les are requ ire d. Check the TYAN Web site
at: www.tyan.com
The following diagram shows common types of memory modules.
for details of the type of memory recommended for your motherboard.
DDR Unbuffered
DDR Unbuffered ECC
Key points to note before installing memory:
• 128MB, 256MB, 512MB ,1GB and 2GB Non-Reg/ECC or Non-Reg/Non-ECC DDR-
II 533/667
memory modules are supported
• All installed memory will be automatically detected and no jumpers or settings need
to be set.
• The Tomcat i7230A S5160 supports up to 8GB of memory
• Registered Memory is NOT supported.
• You can install either single or double-sided modules on this motherboard. Each
DIMM can work in single-channel mode or dual-channel mode. Please note that
memory modules of the same type and density are required while using dualchannel DDR. Mismatched memory may cause system instability.
Refer to the following table for details of dual-channel DDR.
