Installing The Power Supply - TYAN THUNDER GC-HE Manual

2.13 – Installing the Power Supply
There are two power connectors on your Thunder GC-HE. By default, the Thunder GC-HE
requires that you have an EPS12V power supply that has a 24-pin and an 8-pin power connector.
Please be aware that ATX 2.x, ATX12V and dual ATXGES (24+8-pin) power supplies are not
compatible with the board nor would they supply enough power.
Note: The Thunder GC-HE ships with an EPS12V power converter that will allow you to use an
EPS12V power supply with the Thunder GC-HE. The converter must be installed in order for
EPS12V power supplies to operate with the board. TYAN's recommended list of power
supplies will have the correct cable harnesses pre-attached. Please see www.tyan.com for
details.
Only MEB form factor chassis is supported. Other form factors may short the board because the
installation studs are in different locations than ones required by the Thunder GC-HE
1. Disconnect power supply from electrical outlet
2. Connect the EPS12V power supply connectors to the converter
3. Connect the respective power supply converter's cables to the connectors on the
board
Make sure you have connected all power supply connectors before operating the board.
See next page for detailed power connector pin-outs.
