  • Page 20: 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 21: Installing The Processor(S)

    2.5 - Installing the Processor(s) Your S2933 supports the latest processor technologies from AMD. Check the TYAN website for latest processor support: http://www.tyan.com Figure 1. Exploded View of Thermal Solution AMD PIB Platforms based on AMD Socket F Processor http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 22 Rotate the lever to a fully open position. Put your right thumb on the bottom-right side of the load plate to open it. Rotate the load plate to a fully open position. http://www.tyan.com...
  • Page 23 Please note that the cap must be replaced when returning the MB to TYAN for repair service. Failure to do so will void your warranty and may cause damage to the board.
  • Page 24: Installing The Memory

    Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard and processor. Only DDR2-667/533/400 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 25 ¡ ° Population order for 128-bit mode is DIMM3 and DIMM4, then DIMM1 and DIMM2. Attention! 1. If only one memory module is installed, always install it in DIMM3 slot. 2. Please note that population order for 64-bit mode does not support DIMM2 and DIMM4. http://www.tyan.com...
  • 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: Attaching Drive Cables

    TIP: Pin 1 on the IDE cable (usually designated by a colored wire) faces the drive’s power connector. Attaching Serial ATA Cables The Thunder n3600S S2933 is equipped with 4 Serial ATA (SATA) channels. Connections for these drives are very simple. There is no need to set Master/Slave jumpers on SATA drives.
  • Page 28 Tyan has supplied two SATA cables and one SATA power adapter. If you are in need of other cables or power adapters please contact your place of purchase. The following pictures illustrate how to connect an SATA drive 1.SATA drive cable connection 2.
  • Page 29: 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 changes. NOTE Otherwise you may damage the board and/or expansion device. http://www.tyan.com...

  • Page 31: Installing The Power Supply

    2.10 - Installing the Power Supply There are three power connectors on your Thunder n3600S S2933. The Thunder S2933 requires that you have an EPS12V power supply that has a 24- pin, an 8-pin and a 4-pin power connectors. Except the 24-pin and 8-pin power supplies, you also need to connect a 4-pin power supply for the power of South Bridge.
