Chapter 2: Hardware Installation
2.0 Introduction
You are now ready to install your system.
The first thing you should do is read this user’s manual. It contains important
information that will make installation and setup much easier. Here are some
precautions you should take when installing your system:
(1) Ground yourself properly before removing the top cover of the system. 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) Avoid touching the motherboard components, IC chips, connectors, memory
modules, and leads.
(3) Motherboard is pre-installed in the system, if, under any circumstances, it is
removed from the system, place the motherboard on a grounded antistatic
surface.
(4) Inspect the board and system for damage.
The following pages include details on how to install the processor, memory, disk drive
and cables.
NOTE
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE SYSTEM IF ANY PART OF THE
SYSTEM COMPONENTS HAS BEEN DAMAGED
