Chapter 2: Board Installation
2.1 Installing the Motherboard
The Tiger i7320 S5350 motherboard conforms fully to the ATX specification. Before continuing
with the installation, confirm that your chassis supports a standard ATX motherboard. If you
are unsure, contact your dealer for more information.
2.1.1 Installation Notes
This user manual contains important information and you should read it thoroughly before
attempting the installation procedure.
Precautions:
• Static electricity can damage components on your motherboard. Before
touching the product, discharge any static build up in yourself by touching a
well grounded object such as a metal water pipe or a grounded electrical
appliance. TYAN recommends putting on a good quality grounded wrist strap
before removing your motherboard from the antistatic bag.
• Disconnect your computer from the power supply before any disassembly
procedure is attempted.
•
Touch the motherboard as little as possible and do not touch the bottom of
the board at all. Bending or flexing the motherboard may break delicate
components or copper tracks on the board.
•
Avoid touching any of the motherboard components.
•
Place the motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the antistatic
bag in which the board was shipped.
• Inspect the board for damage.
Read the following sections for detailed instructions on how to install your motherboard in a
chassis and add a processor, memory, disk drives, and an optional module.
