How to Install Tyan Server Chassis

• Plan the installation by selecting a suitable 19-inch rack location with stable power and appropriate cooling. Verify rack mounting rails and mounting points match the chassis specifications and follow proper safety procedures for lifting and securing equipment.
• Open the chassis access panels and prepare the interior for motherboard installation. Install motherboard standoffs in the appropriate locations for ATX form factors, ensuring level alignment and secure attachment to the chassis frame.
• Install the ATX motherboard into the chassis, aligning with standoffs and securing with screws. Connect power, reset, and chassis fans as required, and route cables to minimize obstruction of expansion slots and airflow paths.
• Install PCI/PCIe expansion cards into available slots. Secure each card with retaining screws or latches as provided by the chassis design, and manage cables to avoid contact with moving fans or card connectors.
• Mount storage drives into the three bays according to your configuration. Secure drives with brackets or screws as appropriate, and connect power and data cables, observing proper cable management to maintain airflow and accessibility.
• Close access panels and ensure all cables are neatly organized before sliding the chassis into the rack. Fasten mounting screws on both rails and verify that the chassis sits evenly and securely in the rack.
• Power on the system and enter the BIOS/UEFI to configure boot order, drive detection, and any RAID settings. Install your operating system, drivers, and monitoring utilities, then validate airflow and temperature readings under typical workloads.
