Page 20: 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 21: Installing The Processor & Cooling Fan
2.5 - Installing the Processor & Cooling Fan Your Tomcat i7230W S5162 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 22 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 23 Turn the motherboard the right way up, holding the bracket in place. Place the heat sink assembly on top of the processor. It should match up with the mounting holes on the rear bracket. http://www.tyan.com...
- Page 24 Screw the heat sink assembly into place. If there is a fan on the heat sink you will need to connect the power lead for the fan to one of the fan power supply pin headers on the motherboard. http://www.tyan.com...
