  • Page 25 Locate four screw holes on socket and screw the socket to the PCB board. NOTE: Do not assemble CPU before securing socket with screws. Inspect Socket F assembly to PCB. The Socket F must be tightly attached onto the PCB. There must NOT be any gap between stand off the PCB. http://www.tyan.com...

  • Page 26: Processor Installation

    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. http://www.tyan.com...

  • Page 28: Installing The Memory

    Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard and processor. Only DDR2-667/533/400 DIMM modules are required. Check the TYAN Web site at: www.tyan.com for details of the type of memory recommended for your motherboard.
  • Page 29 Align the memory module with the socket. The memory module is keyed to fit only one way in the socket. Key slot 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. http://www.tyan.com...
