  • Page 94: Tips On Installing Motherboard In Chassis

    Be especially careful to look for extra stand-offs. If there are any stand-offs present that are not aligned with a mounting hole on the motherboard, it will likely short components on the back of the motherboard when installed. This will cause malfunction and/or damage to your motherboard. http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 95 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. Below is a chart detailing what the most common motherboard studs look like and how they should be installed. http://www.tyan.com...

  • Page 96: Installing The Memory

    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 pictures show common types of DDR3 memory modules.
