  • Page 26: Tips On Installing Motherboard In Chassis

    Some chassis include plastic studs instead of metal. Although the plastic studs are usable, MiTAC recommends using metal studs with screws that will fasten the motherboard more securely in place. http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 27 Below is a chart detailing what the most common motherboard studs look like and how they should be installed. http://www.tyan.com...

  • Page 28: Installing The Memory

    2.7 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 http://www.tyan.com details of the type of memory recommended for your motherboard. The following diagram shows common types of DDR3 memory modules.
  • Page 29 UDIMM can support up to 8GB sized DIMM’s  Maximum of 16GB per channel  SR and DR UDDR3 module support only  SR and DR 1.5v Memory MAX speed of 1333/1600* MHz in a dual channel configuration IVB CPU can support up to 1600MHz. http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 30 DIMM Location http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 31 Memory Installation Procedure Follow these instructions to install memory modules into the S5515. Press the locking levers in the direction shown in the following illustration. Align the memory module with the socket. The memory module is keyed to fit only one way in the socket.

  • Page 32: Attaching Drive Cables

    2.8 Attaching Drive Cables Attaching Serial ATA Cables S5515 is equipped with six (6) Serial ATA (SATA) channel. Connections for the drives are very simple. There is no need to set Master/Slave jumpers on SATA drives. If you are in need of SATA/SAS cables or power adapters please contact your place of purchase.

  • Page 33: Installing Add-In Cards

    Doing so allows air to circulate within the chassis more easily, thus improving cooling for all installed devices. NOTE: You must always unplug the power connector to the motherboard before performing system hardware changes to avoid damaging the board or expansion device. http://www.tyan.com...
