If there are any studs missing, you will know right away since the motherboard will not be able to be securely installed. 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. -
Page 17: Installing The Memory
133MHz. For this, PC2100 DDR modules are required. Critically important is whether you’re using the recommended memory for the current board you have. For this information, please check Tyan’s web site at: www.tyan.com The following diagram shows the common types of RAM modules you may encounter depending on your board: http://www.TYAN.com... - Page 18 Here are a few key points to note before installing memory into your Tomcat K8S: • AMD Opteron processors support 64bit (non-interleaved) or 128bit (interleaved) memory configurations • At least ONE Registered DDR SDRAM module must be installed for the system to turn on and POST (power on self test) •...
- Page 19 DDR DIMM sockets. The method of installing memory modules is detailed in the following diagrams. Once the memory modules are firmly seated in the socket, two clamps on either side will close and secure the module into the socket. Sometimes you may need to close the clamps manually. http://www.TYAN.com...

2.17 – Installing the Processor and Heatsink Your Tomcat K8S S2850 supports the latest 64-bit processor technologies from AMD. However, only AMD Opteron processor are certified and supported with this motherboard. Check the following page on TYAN’s website for latest processor support:... - Page 21 Align the back plate screw bolts to the holes around processor socket on the back of motherboard. Align the heatsink retention frame to the back plate screw bolts on the front of motherboard. Insert screws to fasten the retention frame and back plate. http://www.TYAN.com...

After tightening screws secure metal clip to plastic retention bracket center tab. Repeat for on other side of heatsink. http://www.TYAN.com... - Page 23 (which should already be attached to the heatsink) to the motherboard. The following diagram illustrates how to connect fans onto the motherboard. After you’re finished installing all the fans you can connect your drives (hard drives, CD- ROM drives, etc.) to your motherboard. http://www.TYAN.com...

Page 24: Attaching Drive Cables
There is no need to set Master/Slave jumpers on SATA drives. Tyan has supplied two SATA cables and one SATA power adapter for boards equipped with SATA" since this is a BOM option. If you are in need of other cables or power adapters please contact your place of purchase. -
Page 25: Installing Add-In Cards
For this reason, we’ve provided the diagrams below, showing the most common slots that may appear on your motherboard. Not all of the slots shown will necessarily appear on your motherboard, however, there will be combinations of what you see here. http://www.TYAN.com... - Page 26 This allows air to more easily circulate within the chassis, providing improved cooling for all installed devices. YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector to the motherboard NOTE before performing system hardware changes, to avoid damaging the board or expansion device. http://www.TYAN.com...
