Chapter 3: Board Installation
How to install our products right…. the first time!
The first thing you should do 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) Inspect the mounting holes pattern of the Thunder i7525 (S2676) to match your chassis
standoff locations and remove the additional standoffs.
(3) Hold the motherboard by its edges and do not touch the bottom of the board, or flex the
board in any way.
(4) Avoid touching the motherboard components, IC chips, connectors, memory modules
and leads.
(5) Place the motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the antistatic bag that the
board was shipped in.
(6) Inspect the board for damage.
(7) Check the jumper settings and connector locations as described in next sections.
In last sections of this chapter, we will cover the 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
