Chapter 2: Board Installation

You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of

the Thunder K8WE matches the SSI EEB 3.51 specification. Before continuing

with installation, confirm that your chassis supports anSSI EEB v3.51

motherboard.

How to install our products right… the first time

The first thing you should do is read this user’s manual. It contains important

information that will make configuration and setup much easier. Here are some

precautions you should take when installing your motherboard:

(1) Ground yourself properly before removing your motherboard from the

antistatic bag. 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.

(3) Avoid touching the motherboard components, IC chips, connectors,

memory modules, and leads.

(4) Place the motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the

antistatic bag that the board was shipped in.

(5) Inspect the board for damage.

The following pages include details on how to install your motherboard into your

chassis, as well as installing the processor, memory, disk drives and cables.

NOTE

DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN

DAMAGED
