Chapter 2: Board Installation

You are now ready to install your motherboard. Please note that the mounting

hole pattern of the Thunder n3600W S2935 is not compatible with the

standard ATX specification. Before continuing with installation, make sure that

you use a customized chassis for this motherboard.

For more information on base chassis specification, please contact your local

TYAN dealer.

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.

NOTE

DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN

DAMAGED.

2.4 - Tips on Installing Motherboard in Chassis

Before installing your motherboard, make sure your chassis has the

necessary motherboard support studs installed. These studs are usually

metal and are gold in color. Usually, the chassis manufacturer will pre-install

the support studs. If you are unsure of stud placement, simply lay the

motherboard inside the chassis and align the screw holes of the

motherboard to the studs inside the case. If there are any studs missing,

you will know right away since the motherboard will not be able to be

securely installed.

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.

Below is a chart detailing what the most common motherboard studs look

like and how they should be installed.

18

2.5 - Installing the Processor(s)

Your S2935 supports the latest processor technologies from AMD. 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. Place the PCB such that the socket cam side faces you. Make sure

the lever hook is on your top-left side.

2. Use your right thumb to push the latches of PnP cap and remove the

PnP cap from the load plate.

3. Use your left thumb and forefinger to hold the lever hook, and then

pull it to the left side to clear the retention tab.

4. Rotate the lever to a fully open position.

5. Put your right thumb on the bottom-right side of the load plate to

open it.

6. Rotate the load plate to a fully open position.

19

7. Locate the Pin 1 indicator of the package. Align the package with the

socket and carefully insert the package into the socket with vertical

motion only. Vertically check if the CPU is seated well in the socket

housing. If not, take out the CPU, with vertical motion only, and

repeat the above steps.

NOTE: The alignment keys must be located in the notches of the package.

8. Close the socket. Rotate the load plate onto the package lid.

Engage the load lever while pressing down lightly onto the load plate.

Secure the lever near the hook end under the retention tab.

9. Repeat this procedure for the second processor if necessary.

Attention!

1. TYAN recommends that reengaging the PnP cap after operating or

testing, whenever the package is not in the socket.

2. Please note that the cap must be replaced when returning the MB to

TYAN for repair service. Failure to do so will void your warranty and

may cause damage to the board.

20

2.6 - Installing the Memory

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

with the motherboard and processor. Check the TYAN Web site at

www.tyan.com for detailed memory recommendations.

The following diagram shows common types of DDR2 memory modules.

Key points to note before installing memory:

• Only DDR2 667/533 /400 Registered ECC memory modules are

supported.

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

settings need changing.

• Memory modules of the same type and density are required for dual-

channel DDR2 Operation.

For optimal dual-channel DDR2 operation, always install memory in pairs

beginning with DDRII1 and DDRII2. Mismatched memory may cause

system instability.

Refer to the following table for supported DDR2 populations.

(Note: X indicates a populated DIMM slot)

(CPU1 only)
