Installation
You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of the Tiger
i7501R S2735 matches the ATX specification. Before continuing with installation, confirm
that your chassis supports a standard ATX motherboard
.
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
