    If there are any studs missing, you will know right away since the motherboard will not be able to be securely installed. http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 27 Some chassis include plastic studs instead of metal. Although the plastic studs are usable, MiTAC 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. http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 28: Installing The Memory

    2.7 Installing the Memory Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard and processor. Check the TYAN Web site at http://www.tyan.com details of the type of memory recommended for your motherboard. The following diagram shows common types of DDR3 memory modules.
