Chapter 2: Board Installation

Installation
You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of the Tiger i7505
matches the ATX board specification. Before continuing with installation, confirm that your chassis
supports 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 that 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 a safely grounded
object to release static charge (i.e. power supply case). For the safest conditions, Tyan
recommends wearing a static safety wrist strap.
(2) Hold the motherboard by its edges. Do not touch the bottom of the board or flex the
board in any way.
(3) Avoid touching the motherboard components, IC chips, connectors, memory modules,
and leads.
(4) Place the motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the antistatic bag that the
board was shipped in.
(5) Inspect the board for damage.
The following pages include details on how to install your motherboard into your chassis, as well
as installing the processor, memory, disk drives and cables.
NOTE DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED
WARNING
:
The Tiger i7505 only supports EPS12V and ATX12V power supplies and will not operate
with other types. DO NOT use ATX 2.x and dual AMDGES power supplies as they will
damage the board and void your warranty.
Only ATX form factor chassis is supported. Other form factors may short the board
because the installation studs are in different locations.
