For proper power supply installation procedures see page 36. DO NOT USE ATX 2.x 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 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.
