  • Page 22: Tips On Installing Motherboard In Chassis

    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 25 Locate four screw holes on socket and screw the socket to the PCB board. NOTE: Do not assemble CPU before securing socket with screws. Inspect Socket F assembly to PCB. The Socket F must be tightly attached onto the PCB. There must NOT be any gap between stand off the PCB. http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 26 Vertically check if the CPU is seated well in the socket housing. If not, take out the CPU, with vertical motion only, and repeat the above steps. NOTE: The alignment keys must be located in the notches of the package. http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 27 Close the socket. Rotate the load plate onto the package lid. Engage the load lever while pressing down lightly onto the load plate. Secure the lever near the hook end under the retention tab. Repeat this procedure for the second processor if necessary. http://www.tyan.com...

  • Page 28: Installing The Memory

    Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard and processor. Only DDR2- 667/533/400 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 29 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 30 Key points to note before installing memory into Thunder h2000M: For optimal dual-channel DDR operation, always install memory in pairs beginning with CPU1_DIMMA3 and CPU1_DIMMB3. Memory modules of the same type and density are required for dual-channel DDR operation. Mismatched memory may cause system instability.

  • Page 31: Attaching Drive Cables

    Attaching Serial ATA Cables The Thunder h2000M is also equipped with 4 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 32 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 33: Installing Add-In Cards

    Do not force any add-in cards into any slots if they do not seat in place. It is better to try another slot or return the faulty card rather than damaging both the motherboard and the add-in card. http://www.tyan.com...

  • Page 34: Installing Optional So-Dimm Modules

    2.9 - Installing Optional SO-DIMM Modules Your Thunder h2000M S3992 motherboard is equipped with an optional proprietary SO- DIMM connector. The SO-DIMM connector can be us ed for expansion cards to provide such features as, additional SAS/SATA II or SCSI support. For details of available expansions cards, visit the TYAN website at http://www.tyan.com.

  • Page 36: Installing The Power Supply

    2.11- Installing the Power Supply There are two power connectors on your Thunder h2000M. The Thunder h2000M requires an EPS12V (24 pin + 8 pin) power supply to boot. Please be aware that ATX 2.x and ATXGES power supplies are compatible with the board and can damage the motherboard and/or CPU(s).
