Board Installation
not overtighten the screw, as it will damage the motherboard and
possibly break internal traces in the surrounding area. The hole you
should use is located at the top-center of the board where the adapter
cards are fastened to the case.
Plug in the power connector as shown.
The photos below show the ATX power connector before (Figure 1) and
after (Figure 2) it has been plugged in.
The plastic clip on the power connector should lock over the plastic tab
on the onboard connector. You shouldn’t be able to plug the power
connector in any other way but just to be safe, make sure it looks like
Figure 2 above. Make absolutely certain that you do not miss any pins
because, if you do, you will void your warranty and cause damage to
yourself or your motherboard when you turn the system on. After
connecting the power, make sure the connector is seated firmly into its
socket so it will not become loose or fall off when the computer is
jostled or moved. Note: Tyan recommends using an ATX power supply
that conforms to industry standard revision 2.01.
