that your chassis supports a standard Flex ATX motherboard
.
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) 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
