Installing Add-In Cards - TYAN TIGER I7501S Manual

2.14 – Installing Add-In Cards
Before i nstalling add-in cards, it's helpful to know if they are fully compatible with your
motherboard. For this reason, we've provided the diagrams below, showing the most common
slots that may appear on your motherboard. Not all of the slots shown will necessarily appear on
your motherboard, however, there will be combinations of what you see here.
Simply find the appropriate slot for your add-in card and insert the card firmly. Do not force any
add-in cards (or anything else) into any slots if they won't seat in place. It's better to try another
slot or return the faulty card rather than damaging both the motherboard and the add-in card.
TIP: It's good practice to install add-in cards in a staggered manner, rather than directly adjacent
to each other. This allows air to more easily circulate within the chassis, providing improved
cooling for all installed devices.
YOU MUST unplug the power connector to the motherboard before performing
NOTE
system hardware changes, to avoid damaging the board or expansion device.
