Chapter 2: Board Installation

You are now ready to install your motherboard.

How to install our products right… the first time

The first thing you should do is reading 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.

DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN

DAMAGED.

and unlock the

CPU socket.

Step2:

Lift the CPU

protection cap

up and lay the

CPU onto the

2.5 - Heat sink Installation

After installing the processor, you should proceed to install the heat sink. The

CPU heat sink will ensure that the processor do not overheat and continue to

operate at maximum performance for as long as you own them. The

overheated processor is dangerous to the motherboard.

For the safest method of installation and information on choosing the

appropriate heat sink, using heat sinks validated by AMD

®

.

Please refer to the AMD

®

website at www.amd.com

The following diagram illustrates how to install heat sink onto the CPU of

S8228.

Place the heat sink on top of the CPU

and

secure it to the motherboard

using two screws clockwise.
