SAFETY INFORMATION

Before installing and using TYAN YR190-B8238, take note of the
following precautions:

·Read all instructions carefully.

·Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.

·Do not block the slots and opening on the unit, which are provided for

ventilation.

·Only use the power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure,
contact the power company.

·The unit uses a three-wire ground cable, which is equipped with a third pin to
ground the unit and prevent electric shock. Do not defeat the purpose of this
pin. If you outlet does not support this kind of plug, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet.

·Do not place anything on the power cord. Place the power cord where it will not
be in the way of foot traffic.

·Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual and on the unit case.

·Do not push objects in the ventilation slots as they may touch high voltage

components and result in shock and damage to the components.

· When replacing parts, ensure that you use parts specified by the

manufacturer.

·When service or repairs have been done, perform routine safety checks
to verify that the system is operating correctly.

·Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating device.

·Cover the unit when not in use.

·Please separate HDD during shipment, and install HDD after system set
up completely and prior to power up.

Chapter 2: Setting Up

2.0.1 Before you Begin

This chapter explains how to install the CPUs, CPU heatsinks,
memory modules, and hard drives. Instructions on inserting add on
cards are also given.

2.0.2 Work Area

Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and
dirt can get into components and cause malfunctions. Use
containers to keep small components separated. Putting all small
components in separate containers prevents them from becoming
lost. Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from
accidentally damaging the internal components.

2.0.3 Tools

The following procedures require only a few tools, including the
following:

 A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver

 A grounding strap or an anti-static pad

Most of the electrical and mechanical connections can be
disconnected with your hands. It is recommended that you do not
use pliers to remove connectors as it may damage the soft metal or
plastic parts of the connectors.

24

http://www.tyan.com

2.0.4 Precautions

Components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by
discharges of static electricity. Working on a system that is connected
to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the guidelines
below to avoid damage to YR190-B8238 or injury to yourself.

 Ground yourself properly before removing the top cover of the

system. Unplug the power from the power supply and then
touch a safely grounded object to release static charge (i.e.
power supply case). If available, wear a grounded wrist strap.
Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching the
bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body of
any other grounded appliance.

 Avoid touching motherboard components, IC chips, connectors,

memory modules, and leads.

 The motherboard is pre-installed in the system. When

removing the motherboard, always place it on a grounded
anti-static surface until you are ready to reinstall it.

 Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch

the components on the board unless it is necessary to do so.
Do not flex or stress circuit boards.

 Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that

they ship with until they are ready for installation.

 After replacing optional devices, make sure all screws, springs,

or other small parts are in place and are not left loose inside
the case. Metallic parts or metal flakes can cause electrical
shorts.

Note:

All connectors are keyed to only attach one way.

All use the correct screw size as indicated in the procedures.

2.1.3 Installing the Memory

Follow these instructions to install the memory modules onto the
motherboard.

1. Locate the memory slots on the motherboard.

2. Press the memory slot locking levers in the direction of the
arrows as shown in the following illustration.

3. Align the memory module with the slot. When inserted
properly, the memory slot locking levers lock automatically
onto the indentations at the ends of the module.

CPU1_DIMM(9)A0 √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √

NOTE:

1. √ indicates a populated DIMM slot.

2. Paired memory installation for Max performance.

3. Populate the same DIMM type in each channel, specifically

- Use the same DIMM size

- Use the same # of ranks per DIMM

4. Dual-rank DIMMs are recommended over single-rank DIMMs

5. Un-buffered DIMM can offer slightly better performance than registerd

DIMM if populating only a single DIMM per channel

6. We don't suggest other memory installation.

7. AMD 6100 & 6200 series CPU doesn't support Quad-ranks U-DIMM.

Appendix III: Technical Support

If a problem arises with your system, you should first turn to your dealer for direct
support. Your system has most likely been configured or designed by them and
they should have the best idea of what hardware and software your system
contains. Hence, they should be of the most assistance for you. Furthermore, if
you purchased your system from a dealer near you, take the system to them
directly to have it serviced instead of attempting to do so yourself (which can
have expensive consequence).

If these options are not available for you then MiTAC International Corporation
can help. Besides designing innovative and quality products for over a decade,
MiTAC has continuously offered customers service beyond their expectations.
TYAN’s website (http://www.tyan.com) provides easy-to-access resources such
as in-depth Linux Online Support sections with downloadable Linux drivers and
comprehensive compatibility reports for chassis, memory and much more. With
all these convenient resources just a few keystrokes away, users can easily find
their latest software and operating system components to keep their systems
running as powerful and productive as possible. MiTAC also ranks high for its
commitment to fast and friendly customer support through email. By offering
plenty of options for users, MiTAC serves multiple market segments with the
industry’s most competitive services to support them.

TYAN's tech support is some of the most impressive we've seen, with great
response time and exceptional organization in general.” — Anandtech.com

Please feel free to contact us directly for this service at [e-mail]

Help Resources:

1. See the beep codes section of this manual.

2. See the TYAN’s website for FAQ’s, bulletins, driver updates, and other
information: http://www.tyan.com

3. Contact your dealer for help before calling TYAN.

Returning Merchandise for Service

During the warranty period, contact your distributor or system vendor FIRST for
any product problems. This warranty only covers normal customer use and does
not cover damages incurred during shipping or failure due to the alteration,
misuse, abuse, or improper maintenance of products.

Note:

A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of
purchase is required before any warranty service can be
rendered. You may obtain service by calling the
manufacturer for a Return Merchandise Authorization
(RMA) number. The RMA number should be prominently
displayed on the outside of the shipping carton and the
package should be mailed prepaid.

TYAN will pay to have the board shipped back to you.
