Installing Add-In Cards - TYAN TEMPEST I5000PW Manual

2.30 – Installing Add-In Cards
Before installing 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 compatible
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 circulate within the chassis more easily, providing
improved cooling for all installed devices.
YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector to the motherboard
NOTE before performing system hardware changes, to avoid damaging the
board or expansion device.
