Chapter 2: Board Installation
Precaution:The Tiger K8W supports EPS12V power supplies (24-pin/8-pin) and will not
operate with any other types.
DO NOT USE ATX 2.x, ATX12V or ATXGES power supplies as they will damage the
board and void your warranty.
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

2.23–Installing the Processor(s)
Your brand new Tiger K8W supports the latest 64-bit processor technologies from AMD.
Only AMD Opteron™processor 200 series are certified and supported with this
motherboard.
Check our website for latest processor support.http://www.tyan.com
NOTE If using a single processor, it MUST be installed in socket CPU1.
When using a single processor only CPU1 memory banks are
addressable.
TYAN is not liable for damage as a result of operating an unsupported configuration.
The diagram is provided as a visual guide to help you install socket processors and may
not be an exact representation of the processors you have.
Lift the lever on the socket until it is approximately 90o or as far back as possible to the
socket.
Align the processor with the socket. There are keyed pins underneath the processor to
ensure that the processor’s installed correctly.
Seat the processor firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until the processor sits
flush with the socket.
Place the socket lever back down until it locks into place.
Yourprocessor is installed.
Repeat these steps for the second processor if you are using two processors.
Take care when installing processors as they have very fragile connector pins below the
processor and can bend and break if inserted improperly.
