Safety Precautions

l Use the type of power indicated on the marking label.
l Ensure electrical circuits are not overloaded; consider the nameplate ratings of all the

connected equipment and ensure you have over current protection.

l Do not disable the power cord ground feature. This equipment was designed to connect to a

grounded (earthed) power outlet. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.

l Ensure that the power outlet is located or installed near the equipment and is easily

accessible.

l Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where persons

will walk on the cord.

l Ensure the ambient temperature around the equipment (which may be higher than the room

temperature) is within the limits specified in section 1.3.

l Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. Do not block or cover these

openings. Do not push objects of any kind into cabinet slots or openings.

l Do not allow USB devices to be hot plugged during installation of the Linux operating

system.

l Use the command ‘expert’ to start Linux installation during ‘boot:’ when prompted, if

you want to use the RAID function on your system. Insert the RAID driver diskette for
Linux when prompted into the USB floppy drive, and follow the onscreen instructions to
complete the installation process.

2.1 System Assembly

When installing a device, be sure to read the instructions accompanying the device together with
the relevant section in this chapter.

Opening the Cover

CAUTION:

l Static electricity can destroy electronic devices. Whenever you handle an option outside

of its protective packaging, first discharge any static electricity from your body by
touching a protective grounding device or unpainted metal on the rear panel of the
system before unplugging the power cord.

l Before you install any option, turn all power switches off. Unplug all power cords from

the system and all peripherals. Leaving the power on can cause serious damage to your
system.

l If the system is mounted on an equipment rack, remove the system from the rack and

take it to a service area. Do not attempt to disassemble the system while it is still in the

1. Remove two screws from the back of the system. Pull the cover backward to detach it.

2. To replace the cover, slide the cover forward and replace t he two screws.

equipment rack.

WARNING: Before you remove or install these modules, make sure that the system is not
turned on or connected to AC power.

Installing the CPU

Your system supports Socket 478 Intel Pentium 4 processor up to 3.06 GHz.

1. Remove the cabinet cover (see previous section).

2. Remove the air duct from the chassis by unfastening three side screws.

13

http://www.TYAN.com

3. Locate the CPU socket and lift the socket arm up to the vertical position. Align the new CPU

so its Pin 1 corner (beveled corner) is at the Pin 1 corner of the socket.

4. Insert the CPU pins into the socket. Press the arm downward to the horizontal position. You

will feel some resistance while doing so. This is normal as the pressure starts to secure the
CPU in place.

14

5. Align the four points of the heatsink socket and secure with four screws following a diagonal

sequence.

6. Place the air duct back into place and secure with three screws.

7. Replace the cabinet cover.

Installing System Memory

Your system has two 184-pin DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) sockets to support a
maximum of 2 G B. You must follow these requirements for the DIMM to be used with the
system:

l Unbuffered DDR- SDRAM (Double Data Rate Synchronous DRAM) with ECC
l PC1600/PC2100-compliant
l 2.5 V

Follow this procedure to install a DIMM:

1. Open the cabinet cover (see previous section).

2. Locate the DIMM sockets.

15

http://www.TYAN.com

3. To install the DIMM, make sure the retaining clips are in the unlocked position, then align the

DIMM’s notched end with the socket’s corresponding end and firmly insert the DIMM into
the socket. Finally push the retaining clips inwards to lock the DIMM in place.

4. Replace the cabinet cover.

Installing a Hard Disk Drive

NOTE: Make sure that the jumper setting of the hard disk drive is set to “Master.” (See the
hard disk drive’s documentation for information.)

1. Remove the cabinet cover (see previous section).

2. Remove the screw from the hard disk drive bracket and detach the bracket from the cabinet.

16

http://www.TYAN.com

3. Fit a hard disk drive to the bracket and secure with four screws.

4. Fit the bracket with the hard disk driv e back into place and secure with one screw. Connect

the data cable and power cord.

5. Replace the cabinet cover.

6. You can create or rebuild RAID for the hard disk drive (see chapter 7 for information).

Installing a Riser Card

Your system has one PCI slot located on the system board. You need to install a riser card to be
able to install an expansion card for additional or enhanced functions.

1. Remove the cabinet cover (see previous section).
