Unplug the power from your computer power supply and then touch a safely grounded object to release static charge (i.e. power supply case). For the safest conditions, TYAN recommends wearing a static safety wrist strap. (2) Hold the motherboard by its edges and do not touch the bottom of the board, or flex the board in any way. -

Page 21: 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 22: Installing The Processor(S)
2.5 - Installing the Processor(s) Your S2915 supports the latest processor technologies from AMD. Check the TYAN website for latest processor support: http://www.tyan.com Figure 1. Detailed View of the Thermal Solution AMD PIB Platforms based on the AMD Socket F Processor... - Page 23 PCB. The remaining four shorter PEM nuts should automatically fit the 4 holes on the PCB as shown in the following pictures. 4 PEM nuts Let 2 upper & should fit 4 lower-middle holes. PEM nuts pass through the holes. http://www.tyan.com...
- Page 24 Locate four screw holes on socket and screw the socket to the PCB board. NOTE: Do not assemble CPU before securing socket with screws. Inspect Socket F assembly to PCB. The Socket F must be tightly attached onto the PCB. There must NOT be any gap between stand off the PCB. http://www.tyan.com...

Page 25: Installing The Memory
Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard and processor. Only DDR2- 400/533/667 DIMM modules are required. Check the TYAN Web site at: www.tyan.com for details of the type of memory recommended for your motherboard. - Page 26 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...
- Page 27 Refer to the following table for supported DDR2 populations. (Note: X indicates a populated DIMM slot) Single CPU Installed Dual CPU installed (CPU0 only) (CPU0 and CPU1) Population Option CPU0 DIMM0 CPU0 DIMM1 CPU0 DIMM2 CPU0 DIMM3 CPU1 DIMM0 CPU1 DIMM1 CPU1 DIMM2 CPU1 DIMM3 http://www.tyan.com...

Page 28: Attaching Drive Cables
Attaching Serial ATA Cables The Thunder n6650W is also equipped with 4 Serial ATA (SATA) channels. Connections for these drives are also very simple. There is no need to set Master/Slave jumpers on SATA drives. http://www.tyan.com... - Page 29 In most cases, there will be a key pin on the cable which will force a proper connection of the cable. http://www.tyan.com...

Page 31: Installing Add-In Cards
It is better to try another slot or return the faulty card rather than damaging both the motherboard and the add-in card. YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector from the motherboard before performing system hardware NOTE changes. Otherwise you may damage the board and/or expansion device. http://www.tyan.com... -

Page 34: Finishing Up
In the rare circumstance that you have experienced difficulty, you can find help by asking your vendor for assistance. If they are not available for assistance, please find setup information and documentation online at our website or by calling your vendor’s support line. http://www.tyan.com... - Page 35 NOTE http://www.tyan.com...

In particular, do not change settings in the Chipset section unless you are sure of the outcome. TYAN or your system manufacturer has carefully chosen the chipset defaults for best performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup options may cause the system to become unstable or unusable.
