Safety Information
Before installing and using the FT48-B4985, 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 or openings on the unit which are
provided for ventilation.
•Only use the power source indicated on the marking label.
If you are not sure about your power source, contact the
power company.
•The unit uses a three-wire grounded cable, which is sup-
plied with a third pin to ground the unit and prevent electric
shock. Do not defeat the purpose of this pin. If your outlet
does not support this type of plug, contact an electrician to
replace the obsolete outlet.
•Do not place anything on the power cord. Place the power
cord where it will not be stepped on.
•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 carried out, 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.
•Disassembly of this unit should not be attempted by
unqualified persons. When the chassis cover is removed
there is a danger of electric shock and risk of damage to
the system.
•Do not attempt to lift or move this product alone. When
moving this product, at least two people should lift it onto a
suitable trolley or cart. When bolting the product into a
rack, two people should hold the device in place while a
third person bolts the device securely to the rack.

This chapter explains how to install motherboard components, including CPUs, CPU heatsinks, memory modules,
and PCI cards. There are also instructions in this section for
installing SATA/SAS hard drives.
Take note of the precautions mentioned in this section when
installing your system.
2.1.1 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 cont ainers prevents
them from becoming lost. Adequate lighting and proper tools
can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal
components.
2.1.2 Tools
The following tools will be required to complete the installations described in this chapter.
Chapter 2: Setting Up
•A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver
•A grounding strap and/or anti-static pad
Most of the electrical and mechanical connectors in your system can be disconnected using your fingers. It is recommended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to remove
connectors as these can damage the soft metal or plastic
parts of the connectors.
Chapter 2: Setting Up19
2.1.3 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 the T ransport
FT48-B4985 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, or 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 read y 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 packag-
ing that they ship with until they are ready for installation.
•After replacing optional devices, make sure all
screws, springs, or other small part s are in pl ace and
are not left loose inside the case. Metallic parts or
metal flakes can cause electrical shorts.
•Always use the correct size screws and fixings when
installing or replacing components.
Notes:
•All connectors are keyed to only attach one way.
•Always use the correct screw size as indicated in the
procedures.

Chapter 3: Replacing Pre-installed
3.1Introduction
This chapter describes how to replace all the pre-installed
components of your FT48-B4985, including the mo therboard,
SAS/SA TA backplane, LED control board, DVD-ROM, power
supply, cooling fans, and fan control board.
Take note of the precautions in this section when installing
your system.
3.1.1 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 keeps them from becoming lost. Adequate lighting
and proper tools can prevent you from accident ally damaging
the internal components.
3.1.2 Tools
The procedures that follow require only a few tools, including
the following:
Components
•A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver
•A grounding strap or an anti-static pad
Most of the electrical and mechanical connections can be
disconnected using your fingers. It is recommended that you
do not use needle-nosed pliers to remove connectors as
these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the
connectors.

3.1.3 Precautions
Components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged
by 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 the FT48-B4985 or
injury to yourself.
•Ground yourself properly before removing the top
cover of the system. Unplug the power from your
computer 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 read y 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 part s are in pl ace and
are not left loose inside the case. Metallic parts or
metal flakes can cause electrical shorts.
Notes:
•All connectors are keyed to only attach one way.
•Always use the correct screw size as indicated in the
procedures.

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 consequences).
If these options are not available for you then TYAN Computer Corporation can help.Besides designing innovative and
quality products for over a decade, TYAN has continuously
offered customers service beyond their expect ations. TYAN's
website
