General Information
Read Me First
1. The Barebone User's Manual is available for download from our Web site at http://www.tyan.com. Make sure to read all
precautions and instructions before you start installing the server system.
2. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel to avoid the risk of damage to the server system.
3. Exercise normal ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) procedures during system integration. TYAN/MiTAC recommends wearing
gloves and an anti-static wrist strap to avoid possible damage to the equipment.
4. Current processor socket design places the pins on the motherboard instead of the processor itself. Exercise caution when
installing the processors as the manufacturer's warranty does not cover damage inflicted upon the motherboard, including
damage to the CPU sockets.
