How to install our products right...the first time.
Whats the first thing I should do?
The first thing you should do is read this users manual. It contains important
information which will make configuration and setup much easier.
The next step is to properly ground yourself. First, unplug the power from your
computer case and then touch the metal casing of the power supply or any
metal part on the computer case. This will discharge any electricity from your
body. Take the motherboard out of the cardboard box and static bag, holding it
by its edges, and place it on a grounded anti-static surface, component side
up. Inspect the board for damage.
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN
DAMAGED!
Press down on any of the socket ICs if it appears that they are not properly
seated (the board should still be on an anti-static mat). Do not touch the
bottom of the board. Remember, dont take any electronic device out of its
protective bag until you are ready to actually install it into the computer case.
If you dont ground yourself, you risk zapping the motherboard or adapter
card. Subsequent problems may not arise immediately because electrostatic
discharge damage, unlike physical damage, causes the device to fail over time.
Install the motherboard into your case.
Follow the instructions provided by the case manufacturer for proper installa-
tion guidelines. TYAN recommends that you use only one screw to hold down
the motherboard. The rest of the mounting holes should be used for the plastic
standoffs. If your case does not have a hole for a standoff, simply cut off the
bottom of the plastic standoff so that the flat portion rests on the metal. The
adapter cards and the screws holding them down will keep your board flat. The
fastening screw should not short any of the traces on the motherboard. Make
certain that you do not overtighten the screw, as it will damage the mother-
board 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.
