Chapter 2: Board Installation

Installation

You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting holes pattern of the Tomcat

i7230A S5160 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 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

2.4 – Mounting the Motherboard

Before installing your motherboard, ensure that your chassis is fully compatible. The Tomcat

i7221 S5150 motherboard conforms fully to the ATX specification. Your chassis should include

preinstalled mounting posts that match exactly with the mounting holes in the motherboard.

Lay the motherboard on top of the mounting holes to ensure that all the necessary mounting

posts exist in your chassis and that they match the mounting holes on the motherboard.

Some chassis’ include plastic studs instead of metal. Although the plastic studs are usable,

TYAN recommends using metal studs with screws that will fasten the motherboard more

securely in place.

See the diagram below for some examples of typical motherboard fixing studs.

TIP: Use metal studs if possible, as they hold the motherboard into place more securely than

plastic standoffs.

Tomcat i7230A S5160 Chapter 2: Board Installation

2.5 – Installing Memory

Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the

motherboard and processor. DDR-II 533/667 modules are required. Check the TYAN Web site

at: www.tyan.com

for details of the type of memory recommended for your motherboard.

The following diagram shows common types of memory modules.

DDR Unbuffered ECC

DDR Unbuffered

Key points to note before installing memory:

• 128MB, 256MB, 512MB ,1GB and 2GB Non-Reg/ECC or Non-Reg/Non-ECC DDR-

II 533/667

memory modules are supported

• All installed memory will be automatically detected and no jumpers or settings need

to be set.

• The Tomcat i7230A S5160 supports up to 8GB of memory

• Registered Memory is NOT supported.

• You can install either single or double-sided modules on this motherboard. Each

DIMM can work in single-channel mode or dual-channel mode. Please note that

memory modules of the same type and density are required while using dual-

channel DDR. Mismatched memory may cause system instability.

Refer to the following table for details of dual-channel DDR.

- Same DRAM bus width, eg x8 or x16

- Matched Sided DIMMs (Single Sided or Double Sided)

2.5.1 Memory Installation Procedure

Follow these instructions to install memory modules into the Tomcat i7230A S5160.

1. Press the locking levers in the direction shown in the following illustration.

Tomcat i7230A S5160 Chapter 2: Board Installation

http://www.tyan.com

2. Align the memory module with the socket. The memory module is keyed to fit only one

way in the socket.

3. Seat the module firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until it sits flush with the

socket. The locking levers pop up into place.

2.6 – Installing the Processor and Cooling Fan

Your Tomcat i7230A S5160 supports the latest processor technologies from Intel. Check the

TYAN website for latest processor support:

http://www.tyan.com

Processor Installation

The processor should be installed carefully. Make sure you are wearing an antistatic strap and

handle the processor as little as possible.

Follow these instructions to install your processor

1. Locate the processor socket on the motherboard and lift the protective cover off as

shown.

Key slot

Tomcat i7230A S5160 Chapter 2: Board Installation

http://www.tyan.com

WARNING:

This new processor socket designed by

Intel is easily damaged. The processor has

to be installed very carefully to prevent the

contact pins of the socket from breaking. It

is strongly recommended that the

processor installation job to be handled by

an experienced technician.

2. Pull the locking lever out of it’s locked position and let it spring into the open position.

3. Lift the metal cover to expose the socket interior and place the socket in as shown.

4. Close the cover and return the locking lever to its locked position.

Cooling Fan Installation

After you have installed the processor, the heatsink should be installed to ensure that the

processor runs efficiently and does not overheat. Use the heatsink supplied for best results.

Follow these instructions to install the heatsink shown.

Pin 1

Tomcat i7230A S5160 Chapter 2: Board Installation

http://www.tyan.com

1. Apply some thermal compound (also called heatsink compound or thermal grease) to

the top of the processor. Try and apply a thin, even layer over the top of the processor.

2. Align the heatsink with the four holes around the processor socket.

3. Press the heatsink down until the four white, plastic pegs are securely seated in the

holes.

4. Press down the black pegs until they click to lock the heatsink in place.

To remove the heatsink you will need to twist each of the black locking pegs until they spring

up and unlock the heatsink from the motherboard.

Remember to connect the power supply for the fan to complete the installation.

Some heat sinks require a bracket to be installed beneath the motherboard before the heat

sink is placed on the top side of the motherboard. To install a heat sink like this:

1 Turn the motherboard upside down and place the rear bracket in position with the

mounting posts poking through the corresponding holes in the motherboard.

2 Turn the motherboard the right way up, holding the bracket in place.

3 Place the heat sink assembly on top of the processor.

It should match up with the mounting holes on the rear bracket.

4 Screw the heat sink assembly into place.
