Check our website at http://www.tyan.com for latest processor support. NOTE: MiTAC is not liable for damage as a result of operating an unsupported configuration.
  • Page 23 Pull the CPU lever slightly away from the socket and then push it to a fully open position. Lift the socket cover to a fully open position. Place the CPU in the CPU socket and make sure that the gold arrow is located in the right direction with two notches properly aligned. http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 24 Place the heat sink on top of the CPU and secure it to the motherboard with 2 screws. Connect the heat sink fan cable if necessary (CPU0 Fan: J34). Repeat the same procedures to install the second heat sink (CPU1 Fan: J30). http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 25: Thermal Interface Material

    CPU lid (applying too much will actually reduce the cooling). NOTE: Always check with the manufacturer of the heat sink & processor to ensure that the thermal interface material is compatible with the processor and meets the manufacturer’s warranty requirements. http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 26: Tips On Installing Motherboard In Chassis

    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.
  • Page 29  RDIMM can support up to 16GB sized DIMM’s  SR and DR Memory has a MAX amount of 24GB per channel  QR Memory has a MAX amount of 32GB per channel  QR 1.35v Memory MAX speed of 667MHz in a dual channel configuration http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 30 3. Populate the same DIMM type in each channel, specifically - Use the same DIMM size - Use the same # of ranks per DIMM 4. Dual-rank DIMMs are recommended over single-rank DIMMs. 5. We don't suggest other memory installation. http://www.tyan.com...

  • Page 33 4. Dual-rank DIMMs are recommended over single-rank DIMMs 5. Unbuffered DIMM can offer slightly better performance than registerd DIMM if populating only a single DIMM per channel. 6. We don't suggest other memory installation. 7. AMD 4100 series CPU doesn't support Quad-ranks U-DIMM. http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 34 http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 35: Memory Installation Procedure

    Align the memory module with the socket. The memory module is keyed to fit only one way in the socket. KEY SLOT Seat the module firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until it sits flush with the socket. The locking levers pop up into place. http://www.tyan.com...
