  • Page 26: Tips On Installing Motherboard In Chassis

    Note: Be especially careful to look for extra stand-offs. If there are any stand-offs present that are not aligned with a mounting hole on the motherboard, it will likely short components on the back of the motherboard when installed. This will cause malfunction and/or damage to your motherboard. 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...

    Memory Installation Procedure Follow these instructions to install memory modules into the S5533. Press the locking levers in the direction shown in the following illustration. Align the memory module with the socket. The memory module is keyed to fit only one way in the socket.
  • Page 31: Attaching Drive Cables

    Doing so allows air to circulate within the chassis more easily, thus improving cooling for all installed devices. NOTE: You must always unplug the power connector from the motherboard before performing system hardware changes to avoid damaging the board or expansion device. http://www.tyan.com...
