strict tolerances required for high performance. If you buy a Tyan board, you are
getting the best system available. To make installation easy and trouble free, get high
quality parts. For a list of recommended memory vendors, please visit Tyan's website
at www.tyan.com - go to the "Memory Support" area in the Support Section. The
website memory compatibility lists include DIMMs that have proven to be very stable
on our boards and perform extremely well.
To install your DIMMs, line your module up so that the pins fit into the slot. There
is only one way that your DIMM can fit properly. Make sure that the short row of
pins is lined up with the short gap in the DIMM slot. Figure 2-3 (previous page)
shows how to sit the DIMM into its slot. To insert the DIMM, push down vertically
on the module with even force, as shown in the photo. Do not shove one end in first;
doing so will bend the DIMM pins.
To lock the DIMM into place, push the plastic clips on either end of the slot onto the
notches in the ends of the DIMM (see Figure 2-4 below). In some cases, pushing the
memory module into the DIMM slot will move the plastic clips inward, automatically
locking the module into place. To remove your DIMM, simply pull the clips back, and
pull up on the module.
Figure 2-4
Place the DIMMs in an anti-static bag as soon as you remove them to avoid static
damage.
