Chapter 2
Board Installation
This is because many of our competitors do not adhere to the strict tolerances
required for high performance. If you buy a Tyan board, you are getting the
best system available. To make installation easy and trouble free, get high
quality parts. For a list of recommended memory vendors, please visit Tyans
website at
www.tyan.com
- go to the Memory Support area in the
Support Section. The website memory compatibility lists include DIMMs that
have proven to be very stable on our boards and perform extremely well.
To install your DIMMs, line your module up so that the pins fit into the slot.
There is only one way that your DIMM can fit properly. Make sure that the
short row of pins is lined up with the short gap in the DIMM slot.
Figure 2-3
(see previous page) shows how to sit the DIMM into its slot. To insert the
DIMM, push down vertically on the module with even force, as shown in the
photo.
Do not shove one end in first; doing so will bend the DIMM pins.
