  • Page 22: Mounting The Motherboard

    Some chassis’ include plastic studs instead of metal. Although the plastic studs are usable, TYAN 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.

  • Page 23: Installing The Memory

    Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard and processor. Only DDR2-533/667 FB-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 24 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...

  • Page 25: Installing The Processor And Cooling Fan

    2.6 - Installing the Processor and Cooling Fan Your Tempest i5000XL S2692 supports the latest processor technologies from Intel. Check the TYAN website for latest processor support: http://www.tyan.com Processor Installation The processor should be installed carefully. Make sure you are wearing an antistatic strap and handle the processor as little as possible.
  • Page 26 Align the heatsink with the four holes around the processor socket. Press the heatsink down until the four screws are securely seated in the holes. Use screw drive to secure the four screws. http://www.tyan.com...

  • Page 27: Attaching Drive Cables

    Attaching Serial ATA Cables The Tempest i5000XL S2692 is also equipped with 6 Serial ATA (SATA) channels. Connections for these drives are also very simple. There is no need to set Master/Slave jumpers on SATA drives.
  • Page 28 Attach first floppy drive (drive A:) to the end of the cable with the twist in it. Drive B: is usually connected to the next possible connector on the cable (the second or third connector after you install Drive A:). http://www.tyan.com...

  • Page 29: Installing Add-In Cards

    It is better to try another slot or return the faulty card rather than damaging both the motherboard and the add-in card. YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector from the motherboard before performing system hardware changes. NOTE Otherwise you may damage the board and/or expansion device. http://www.tyan.com...
