    2.6 Installing the Processor and Heatsink The types of processors supported by the S7120 are listed in the 1.2 Hardware Specifications section on page 4. Check our website at http://www.tyan.com ® the latest list of validated Intel processors for this specific motherboard.
  • Page 26 Carefully flip the heatsink assembly. Align the heatsink with the CPU socket by the guide pins. Make also sure that the triangle edge of the carrier is aligned correctly with the triangle mark on the CPU socket. Then place the heatsink assembly onto the top of the CPU socket. http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 27 Then place the heatsink onto the top of the CPU socket. To secure the heatsink, use a Security T30 Security Torx to tighten the screws in a sequential order (1->2->3->4). When dissembling the heatsink, loosen the screws in reverse order (4->3->2->1). http://www.tyan.com...

  • Page 28: 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 29 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...
