Chapter 1: Introduction

Thank you for choosing the TYAN Transport GX28 B2880T1S, a rack density Dual

AMD

®

Opteron processor bare-bone system. Based on AMD’s Opteron processor

and AMD-8131 chipset, this Transport GX28 system leverages AMD’s 64-bit processor

architecture with integrated memory controller and Hyper Transport technology to

provide powerful computing capability and optimal I/O bandwidth for demanding

enterprise computing applications.

1.1 – About This Manual

This installation manual is to guide you through the system integration process. The

target audience should be system integrators, or experienced users with basic

computer/server knowledge on system assembly and configuration. You may skip

some parts of the installation guide since the Transport GX28 bare-bone system

has almost been pre-assembled before shipping. Still we recommend you keep

away this manual properly for future maintenance reference.

Remember to visit TYAN’s Website at http://www.tyan.com. There you can find

information on all of TYAN’s products with FAQs, compatibility list, distributors list and

BIOS setting explanations.

Chapter 3: Hardware Installation

3.0 Before You Begin

You are now ready to install your system.

The first thing you should do is read this user’s manual. It contains important

information that will make installation and setup much easier. Here are some

precautions you should take when installing your system:

(1) Ground yourself properly before removing the top cover of the system. 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) Avoid touching the motherboard components, IC chips, connectors, memory

modules, and leads.

(3) Motherboard is pre-installed in the system, if, under any circumstances, it is

removed from the system, place the motherboard on a grounded antistatic

surface.

(4) Inspect the board and system for damage.

The following pages include details on how to install the processor, memory, disk drive

and cables.

NOTE

DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE SYSTEM IF ANY PART OF THE

SYSTEM COMPONENTS HAS BEEN DAMAGED

3.1 Opening the chassis

Unscrew the Top Cover

1. Place the bare-bone system on a

smooth surface

2. Unscrew the top covers (There are six

screws used, marked with circle)

Remove the Top Cover

1. Remove the front top cover first.

Pressing the cover forward for about

half an inch, and then lift it up from

the chassis.

2. Repeat above step to the back top

cover to remove it from the chassis.

3.3 Motherboard Placement (Pre-Installed)

NOTE: For motherboard setting and configuration details, please refer to the

Thunder K8S S2880 Motherboard User’s Manual bundled with this

barebone system.

1. Place the motherboard carefully into

the chassis to avoid component

damage. Make sure that the edge

with the I/O ports goes match to the

rear part of the chassis.

2. Secure the motherboard with 8

screws indicated by circles.

NOTE: Leave other 4 screws open for

mounting the air duct & air baffle-wall.

(Please refer to Section 3.5 for the

steps of mounting the air duct & air

baffle-wall.)

Leave these 4 screws open

for mounting the air duct &

3.4 Installing Processor (s) and Heatsink(s)

Installing Processor(s)

1. Lift the lever on the CPU socket until

it is approximately 130

o

or as far back

as possible to the socket.

2. Align the processor with the socket.

There are keys underneath the

processor just like on memory

modules to ensure that they get

inserted properly.

3. Place the processor firmly into the

socket by gently pressing down until

the processor sits flush with the

socket.

4. Place the socket lever back down

until it snaps into place.

Repeat these steps for any additional

processors if you are using more than one

processor.

Installing Heatsink(s)

1. Apply thin layer of thermal compound

beneath the heatsink

2. Place the heasink on top of the

installed processor matching the two

screws to the mounting holes.

3. To secure the heatsink, tighten each

screw half way first so that the

heasink sits on the processor evenly.

4. Repeat the above steps to the second

heatsink, if dual processors are

installed.

3.5 Installing Air Duct/Air Baffle-Wall

NOTE: The air duct & baffle-wall are pre-installed for protection purpose during the

transportation. They have to be detached from the chassis before installing

processor(s) and heatsink(s).

1. Place the air duct on top of the

CPU-1 with front side adjoining the

central retention bar (See picture at

right)

stuck in between the first two fins of

the CPU_2 heatsink.

3. Place the air baffle-wall standing

along the power supply with 3

mounting holes in alignment with those

on motherboard.
