How to install our products right… the first time
The first thing you should do is read this user’s manual. It contains important
information that will make configuration and setup much easier. Here are some
precautions you should take when installing your motherboard:
(1) Ground yourself properly before removing your motherboard from
the antistatic 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 bag that the board was shipped in.
(5) Inspect the board for damage.
The following pages include details on how to install your motherboard 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
