Chapter 2: Board Installation
You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of
the Tempest i5000VF S5370 matches the ATX specification. Before continuing
with installation, confirm that your chassis supports an ATX motherboard.
How to install our products right… the first time
The first thing you should do is reading 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

2.4 - Tips on Installing Motherboard in Chassis
Before installing your motherboard, make sure your chassis has the
necessary motherboard support studs installed. These studs are usually
metal and are gold in color. Usually, the chassis manufacturer will pre-install
the support studs. If you are unsure of stud placement, simply lay the
motherboard inside the chassis and align the screw holes of the
motherboard to the studs inside the case. If there are any studs missing,
you will know right away since the motherboard will not be able to be
securely installed.
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.

2.5 - Installing the Processor(s)
Your Tempest i5000VF S5370 supports the latest processor technologies from
Intel. Check the TYAN website for latest processor support:
http://www.tyan.com
Processor Installation
The processor should be installed carefully. Make sure you are wearing an
antistatic strap and handle the processor as little as possible.
Follow these instructions to install your processor
1. Locate the processor socket on the motherboard and lift the protective
cover off as shown.
WARNING:
This new processor socket
designed by Intel is easy to be
damaged. The processor has to be
installed very carefully to prevent
the contact pins of the socket from
breaking. It is strongly
recommended the processor
installation job to be handled by the
experienced technician.
2. Pull the locking lever out of it’s locked position and let it spring into the
open position.
