Chapter 2: Board Installation

Installation
You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of the Thunder LE-T
matches the ATX system board specifications. Your chassis should support a standard ATX
motherboard form factor.
How to install our products right... the first time
The first thing you should do is read this user's manual. It contains important information which will
make configuration and setup much easier. Here are some precautions you should take when
installing your motherboard:
(1) Ground yourself properly before removing your motherboard from the antistatic bag.
Unplug the power from your computer power supply and then touch the power supply.
For the safest conditions, Tyan recommends wearing a static safety wrist strap.
(2) Hold the motherboard by its edges and do not touch the bottom of the board.
(3) Avoid touching the motherboard components, IC chips, connectors, and leads.
(4) Avoid touching memory module contacts and IC chips
(5) Place the motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the antistatic bag from
which it came in.
Having reviewed the precautions above, the next step is to take the motherboard out of the
cardboard box and static bag, hold it by its edges and place it on a grounded antistatic surface,
component side up. Inspect the board for damage.
NOTE DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED
