RM0162 Dual Xeon Installation w/ Tyan S2723 (Tiger i7501)

1- Unscrew the six side screws and rear thumbscrew. Open the cover by sliding the cover back first and then lifting at the thumbscrew.

2- Remove the PCI support bar with the raiser cards.

3- For the installation of the Tyan S2723 (Tiger i7501) motherboard, replace the rear faceplate with the included secondary configuration faceplate.

4- Install the elevation screws to support the motherboard. The easiest way to do this is to match the holes in the chassis with the ones on the motherboard. For the Tyan S2723 motherboard, there should be 10 elevation screws. Too few screws will not support the motherboard properly. Too many screws or improperly placed screws will come in contact with the motherboard circuitry and short circuit your investment.

Note: If there is sufficient space, steps 6 - 9 may be performed before step 4 first for easier installation.

5- Attach motherboard to the mountings with the appropriate screws.

6- Install the CPU according to manufacturer’s directions.

7- Apply thermal conductivity compound in the form of a small X on top of the mounted CPU. Make sure the compound is rated for the processor you are using.

8- Install the RAM chip(s). Pin 1 on the chip should match pin 1 on the motherboard.

9- For dense servers, proper heat dissipation is required. For a Dual Xeon system, we will need PCW’s low-profile blower heatsink. The copper based heatsink ensures that heat is conducted quickly and safely away from the processor. The high CFM blower will further ensure that there is a consistent high velocity airflow to cool the heatsink. Double check that the thermal conductivity compound has been applied on the CPU before mounting the heatsink. Without the thermal compound the CPU will overheat and burn out.

10- Open the front cover to remove the drive bay covers and brackets.

11- Mount the drive brackets on all drives.

12- Install the drives into the drive bays. Fasten the drive bracket to the chassis in the front with two screws.

13- Connect the power supply to the motherboard power port. Check with your motherboard manual if there is a secondary power port.

14- Connect the IDE and floppy cables from motherboard to the drives. Connect the power cables to all drives.

15- Connect chassis LED light cables to motherboard. If the configuration is not labeled on the motherboard then it is specified in the motherboard manual.

16- If necessary, upgrade the raiser cards on the PCI support bar to 64-bit raiser cards. Install any optional PCI cards into the raiser cards. Re-install the PCI support bar into the chassis.

17- Use cable ties to ensure that wires do not block airflow.

18- Re-install the cover.
