Chapter 2: Board Installation
Installation
You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern of the Thunder i7505
S2665 matches the EEB V3.0 specification. Before continuing with installation, confirm that your
chassis supports a standard EEB V3.0 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. 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) Inspecttheboardfordamage.
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
WARNING:
The Thunder i7505 S2665 only supports EPS12V power supplies and will not operate with
other types. DO NOT use ATX 2.x, ATX12V and dual AMDGES power supplies as they will
damage the board and voidyourwarranty.
Only EEB V3.0 form factor chassis is supported. Other form factors may short the board
because the installation studs are in different locations.

2.20 –Mounting the Motherboard
Before installing your motherboard, make sure your chassis has the necessary motherboard
support studs installed. These studs are usually manufacturer pre-installed, metal and are gold in
color. If you are unsure of stud placement, lay the motherboard inside the chassis and align the
studs.
NOTE YOU MUST make sure that there are no studs where there are no screw holes.
2.21 –Installing the Memory
Before attempting to install any memory, here are a few key points to note before installing
memorymodulesontoyourboard.
•Memory modules must be installed in pairs(DIMM1+DIMM2 or DIMM3+DIMM4)
•Atleasttwo unbufferedDDRECC/non-ECC modules must be installed
•All installed memory will be automatically detected-no need to set any jumpers
•Supports128MB,256MB,512MBand1GB unbuffered DDR200/266 modules
•Supports up to 4GB of memory

http://www.TYAN.com
Make sure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard as well as the
processor. For example, DDR200 and DDR266 memory modules can be used for
FSB=400MHz Intel Xeon processor but only DDR266 memory modules can be used for
FSB=533MHz Intel Xeon processor.

Xeon FSB=533MHz X
unsupported v supported
Memory Installation Procedure
When installing memory modules, make sure the modules align properly with the memory socket.
There should be a key (small indent) on your memory module that fits according to the key in the
memory socket. DDR modules and sockets have only one key, which is slightly off-center of the
module/socket.Themethod of installingmemorymodules is detailedinthe following diagrams.
Once the memory modules are firmly seated in the socket, two clamps on either side will close
and secure the module into the socket. Sometimes you may need to close the clamps manually.
To remove the memory module, simply push the clamps outwards until the memory module pops
up. Then remove the module.
TIP: When installing memory, a module may require a considerable amoun t of force to seat
properly, although this is very rare. To avoid bending and damaging your motherboard, place it on
itsanti-static bag and onto a flat surface, then proceed with memory installation.
For important memory information, please check Tyan’s web site at www.tyan.com for
recommendations.
NOTE YOU MUST unplug the power supply before performing system hardware
changes in order to avoid damaging the board or expansion device.

2.22 –Installing the Processor(s) and Heatsink(s)
Your Thunder i7505 S2665 supports the latest processor technologies from Intel. Check the
following page on TYAN’s website http://www.tyan.com for latest processor support:
The following diagrams willdetailhowto installyourprocessor(s):
REMINDER Only identicalCPUs can be used.
When installing only 1 processor, ensure to install it in CPU socket 1 . (see page-8)
The processors you choose to use may not look exactly like the one pictured above, nor will the
socket look exactly the same. The diagram is a visual guide to help you install processors.
1. Lift the lever on the socket as far back as possible to the socket.
2. Align the processor with the socket. There are keys underneath the processor just like
on memory modules to ensure that they insert the correct way.
3. Seat the processor firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until the processor
sitsflushwiththesocket.
4. Placethesocketleverbackdown until it snaps into place.
5. Yourprocessoris installed.
6. Repeat these steps for the second processor if you are using two processors.
Take extra care when installing Xeon processors as they have fragile connector pins that
can bend and break if inserted improperly.
Heatsink Installation
After you are done installing the processor(s), you should proceed to installing their heatsink(s).
Heatsinks will ensure that the processors do not overheat and continue to operate at maximum
performance for as long as you own them. Overheated proc essors may damage the motherboard.
Because there are many different types of heatsinks available from many different manufacturers,
a lot of them have their own method of installation. For the safest method of installation and
information on choosing the appropriate heatsink, please refer to Intel’s website at
http://www.intel.com.

19
http://www.TYAN.com
The following diagram will illustrate how to install the most common heatsinks:
a. Align the heatsink mounting bracket to the holes around the processor socket
b. InsertBlack securing peg into bracket holes
c. Insert White locking peg into Black securing peg
d. Repeat process to mount all other brackets
e. Seat heatsink between brackets on the processor
f. Attach heatsink clips

20
http://www.TYAN.com
Finishing Installing the Heatsink
After you finish installing the heatsink onto the processor and socket, attach the end wire of the
fan (which should already be attached to the heatsink) to the motherboard. The following diagram
illustrates how to connect fans onto the motherboard.
After you have finished installing all the fans you can connect your drives (hard drives, CD-ROM
drives, etc.) to your motherboard.
2.23 –Installing Add-In Cards
Before installing add-in cards, it is helpful to know if they are fully compatible with your
motherboard. For this reason, we have provided the diagrams below showing the most common
slots that may appear on your motherboard. Not all of the slots shown will necessarily appear on
your motherboard. However, there will be combinations of what you see here.
Find the appropriate slot for your add-in card and insert the card firmly. Do not force any add-in
cards (or anything else) into any slots if they will not seat in place.
NOTE YOU MUST unplug the power supply before performing system hardware
changes in order to avoid damaging the board or expansion device.
