Chapter 2: Board Installation
Precaution: The Thunder K8S Pro 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)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
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.
Hold the motherboard by its edges and do not touch the bottom of the board, or
flex the board in any way.
Avoid touching the motherboard components, IC chips, connectors, memory
modules, and leads.
Place the motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the antistatic bag
that the board was shipped in.
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

2.28 – OEM Reserved Connectors and Jumpers
These connectors and jumpers which are not listed are reserved for OEM use
only.
24
http://www.TYAN.com
2.29 – Installing the Processor(s)
Your brand new Thunder K8S Pro 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.
o
Lift the lever on the socket until it is approximately 90 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.
Your processor 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.
2.30– Heatsink Retention Frame Installation
After you are done installing the processor(s), you should proceed to installing the
retention frame and heatsink. The CPU heatsink will ensure that the processors do not
overheat and continue to operate at maximum performance for as long as you own them.
Overheated processors are also dangerous to the health of the motherboard.
The backplate assembly prevents excessive motherboard flexing in the area near the
processor and provides a base for the installation of the heatsink retention bracket and
heatsink.
Because there are many different types of heatsinks available from many different
manufacturers, a lot of them have their own method of installation. For the safest method
25
http://www.TYAN.com
of installation and information on choosing the appropriate heatsink, use heatsinks
validated by AMD. Please refer to AMD’s website at www.amd.com.
The following diagram will illustrate how to install the most common CPU back plates:
Mounting screws
Heatsink retention frame
CPU socket
Motherboard PCB
Adhesive insulator material
Backplate assembly
NOTE: Please see next section
for specific instructions on how
to install mounting bracket.
2.31 – Thermal Interface Material
There are two types of thermal
interface materials designed for
use with the AMD Opteron
processor.
The most common material
comes as a small pad attached
to the heatsink at the time of
purchase. There should be a
protective cover over the
material. Take care not to touch
this material.
Simply remove the protective
cover and place the heatsink on
the processor.
The second type of interface
material is usually packaged
separately. It is commonly
referred to as ‘thermal
compound’. Simply apply a thin
layer on to the CPU lid (applying
too much will actually reduce the
cooling).
NOTE
Aways check with the manufacturer of the heatsink &amp; processor to
ensure the Thermal Interface material is compatible with the
processor &amp; meets the manufacturer’s warranty requirements
26
http://www.TYAN.com
2.32 – Heatsink Installation Procedures
Type A: CAM LEVER (TYPE) INSTALLATION
1. After placing backplate and interface
material under motherboard place heatsink
retention frame on top of motherboard.
Align plastic retention bracket screw hole
with CPU back-plate standoffs.
Tighten screws to secure plastic retention
bracket. Repeat for on other side.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
2. After tightening screws secure metal clip
to plastic retention bracket center tab.
Repeat for on other side of heatsink.
3. After securing metal clip to plastic
retention bracket center tab, push down on
plastic clip to lock plastic clip to side tab.
27
http://www.TYAN.com
Type B: SCREW RETENTION TYPE HEATSINK
1. After placing CPU back-plate and
adhesive interface material under
motherboard, place heatsink retention
frame on top of motherboard. Align
heatsink retention frame screw hole with
backplate assembly standoffs. Place
heatsink inside plastic retention bracket.
Place metal clip over retention frame tab.
Repeat for other side.
2. Insert screw through metal clip.
BE SURE METAL CLIP IS LOCKED
ONTO RETENTION FRAME TAB.
3. Tighten screw through metal clip.
Repeat on other side.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
2.33 -- Finishing Installing the Heatsink
After you have finished installing the heatsink onto the processor and socket, attach
the end wire of the fan (which should already be attached to the heatsink) to the
motherboard. The following diagram illustrates how to connect fans onto the
motherboard.
Once you have finished installing all the fans you can connect your drives (hard drives,
CD-ROM drives, etc.) to your motherboard.
28

2.34 – Tips on Installing Motherboard in Chassis
Before installing your motherboard, make sure your chassis has the necessary
motherboard support studs installed. These studs are usually metal and are gold in
color. Usually, the chassis manufacturer will pre-install the support studs. If you are
unsure of stud placement, simply lay the motherboard inside the chassis and align the
screw holes of the motherboard to the studs inside the case. If there are any studs
missing, you will know right away since the motherboard will not be able to be
securely installed.
Some chassis’ include plastic studs instead of metal. Although the plastic studs are
usable, TYAN recommends using metal studs with screws that will fasten the
motherboard more securely in place.
Below is a chart detailing what the most common motherboard studs look like and
how they should be installed.

2.35 – Installing the Memory
Before attempting to install any memory, make sure that the memory you have is
compatible with the motherboard as well as the processor.
The following diagram shows common types of DDR SDRAM modules:
Here are a few key points to note before installing memory into your Thunder K8S Pro:
• Always install memory beginning with CPU1_DIMM1
• In order to access memory on CPU2 DIMM1-4, Both processors must be
installed.
• Memory in CPU2 DIMM1-4 is not required when running dual CPU
configuration.
TM
• AMD Opteron
processors support 64bit (non-interleaved) or 128bit
(interleaved) memory configurations
• 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB* Registered PC2700/PC2100/PC1600
DDR SDRAM memory modules are supported
• All installed memory will be automatically detected
• The Thunder K8S Pro supports up to 8GB.*
* Not validated at the time of print; subject to change.
This chart outlines the rules for populating memory

Memory Installation Procedure
When you install the memory modules, make sure the module aligns properly with the
memory slot. The modules are keyed to ensure that it is inserted only one way. The
method of installing memory modules are detailed by the following diagrams.
Once the memory modules are firmly seated in the slot, two latches on either side will
close and secure the module into the slot. Sometimes you may need to close the
latches yourself.
To remove the memory module, simply push the latches outwards until the memory
module pops up. Then remove the module.
NOTE
YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector from the
motherboard before performing system hardware changes.
Otherwise you may damage the board and/or expansion device.
31
http://www.TYAN.com
2.36 – Attaching Drive Cables
Attaching the IDE drive cable is simple. These cables are “keyed” to only allow them
to be connected in the correct manner. TYAN motherboards have two on-board IDE
channels, each supporting two drives. The black connector designates the Primary
channel, while the white connector designates the Secondary channel.
Attaching IDE cables to the IDE connectors is illustrated below:
Simply plug in the BLUE END of the IDE cable into the motherboard IDE connector,
and the other end(s) into the drive(s). Each standard IDE cable has three connectors,
two of which are closer together. The BLUE connector that is furthest away from the
other two is the end that connects to the motherboard. The other two connectors are
used to connect to drives.
Note: Always remember to properly set the drive jumpers. If only using one device on
a channel, it must be set as Master for the BIOS to detect it.
TIP: Pin 1 on the IDE cable (usually designated by a colored wire) faces the
drive’s power connector.
32
http://www.TYAN.com
The Thunder K8S Pro is also equipped with 4 Serial ATA (SATA) channels.
Connections for these drives are also very simple.
There is no need to set Master/Slave jumpers on SATA drives.
Tyan has supplied four SATA cables and two SATA power adapter. If you are in need
of other cables or power adapters please contact your place of purchase.
The following pictures illustrate how to connect an SATA drive
1. SATA drive cable connection
2. SATA drive power connection
3. SATA cable motherboard
connector
4. SATA drive power adapter
Floppy Drives
Attaching floppy diskette drives are done in a similar manner to hard drives. See the
picture below for an example of a floppy cable. Most of the current floppy drives on
the market require that the cable be installed with the colored stripe positioned next to
the power connector. In most cases, there will be a key pin on the cable which will
force a proper connection of the cable.
Attach first floppy drive
(drive A:) to the end of the
cable with the twist in it.
Drive B: is usually
connected to the next
possible connector on the
cable (the second or third
connector after you install
Drive A:).
33

2.37 – Installing Add-In Cards
Before installing add-in cards, it’s helpful to know if they are fully compatible with your
motherboard. For this reason, we’ve provided the diagrams below, showing the most
common slots that may appear on your motherboard. Not all of the slots shown will
necessarily appear on your motherboard.
Simply find the appropriate slot for your add-in card and insert the card firmly. Do not
force any add-in cards into any slots if they do not seat in place. It is better to try
another slot or return the faulty card rather than damaging both the motherboard and
the add-in card.
NOTE
YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector from the
motherboard before performing system hardware changes. Otherwise
you may damage the board and/or expansion device.

2.40 – Installing the Power Supply
There are two power connectors on your Thunder K8S Pro S2882. The Thunder K8S Pro
S2882 requires that you have an EPS12V power supply that has a 24-pin and an 8-pin
power connector. Please be aware that ATX 2.x, ATX12V and ATXGES power supplies
are not compatible with the board and can damage the motherboard and/or CPU(s).
Disconnect power supply from electrical outlet
1. Connect the EP12V 8-pin power connector
2. Connect the EP12V 24-pin power connector
3. Connect power cable to power supply to power outlet
Make sure you have connected both connectors before attempting to apply power
to the board.
NOTE
YOU MUST unplug the power supply before plugging the power cables to
motherboard connectors.
2.41 – Finishing Up
Congratulations on making it this far! You’re finished setting up the hardware aspect
of your computer. Before closing up your chassis, make sure that all cables and wires
are connected properly, especially IDE cables and most importantly, jumpers. You
may have difficulty powering on your system if the motherboard jumpers are not set
correctly.
In the rare circumstance that you have experienced difficulty, you can find help by
asking your vendor for assistance. If they are not available for assistance, please find
setup information and documentation online at our website or by calling your
vendor’s support line.

Appendix I: Glossary
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface): a power management
specification that allows the operating system to control the amount of power distributed to
the computer’s devices. Devices not in use can be turned off, reducing unnecessary
power expenditure.
AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port): a PCI-based interface which was designed
specifically for demands of 3D graphics applications. The 32-bit AGP channel directly
links the graphics controller to the main memory. While the channel runs only at 66 MHz,
it supports data transmission during both the rising and falling ends of the clock cycle,
yielding an effective speed of 133 MHz.
ATAPI (AT Attachment Packet Interface): also known as IDE or ATA; a drive
implementation that includes the disk controller on the device itself. It allows CD-ROMs
and tape drives to be configured as master or slave devices, just like HDDs.
ATX: the form factor designed to replace the AT form factor. It improves on the AT design
by rotating the board 90 degrees, so that the IDE connectors are closer to the drive bays,
and the CPU is closer to the power supply and cooling fan. The keyboard, mouse, USB,
serial, and parallel ports are built-in.
Bandwidth: refers to carrying capacity. The greater the bandwidth, the more data the bus,
phone line, or other electrical path can carry. Greater bandwidth results in greater speed.
BBS (BIOS Boot Specification): a feature within the BIOS that creates, prioritizes, and
maintains a list of all Initial Program Load (IPL) devices, and then stores that list in
NVRAM. IPL devices have the ability to load and execute an OS, as well as provide the
ability to return to the BIOS if the OS load process fails. At that point, the next IPL device
is called upon to attempt loading of the OS.
BIOS (Basic Input/Output System): the program that resides in the ROM chip, which
provides the basic instructions for controlling your computer’s hardware. Both the
operating system and application software use BIOS routines to ensure compatibility.
Buffer: a portion of RAM which is used to temporarily store data; usually from an
application though it is also used when printing and in most keyboard drivers. The CPU
can manipulate data in a buffer before copying it to a disk drive. While this improves
system performance (reading to or writing from a disk drive a single time is much faster
than doing so repeatedly) there is the possibility of losing your data should the system
crash. Information in a buffer is temporarily stored, not permanently saved.
Bus: a data pathway. The term is used especially to refer to the connection between the
processor and system memory, and between the processor and PCI or ISA local buses.
Bus mastering: allows peripheral devices and IDEs to access the system memory
without going through the CPU (similar to DMA channels).
Cache: a temporary storage area for data that will be needed often by an application.
Using a cache lowers data access times since the information is stored in SRAM instead
72
http://www.TYAN.com
of slower DRAM. Note that the cache is also much smaller than your regular memory: a
typical cache size is 512KB, while you may have as much as 4GB of regular memory.
Closed and open jumpers: jumpers and jumper pins are active when they are “on” or
“closed”, and inactive when they are “off” or “open”.
CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductors): chips that hold the basic
startup information for the BIOS.
COM port: another name for the serial port, which is called as such because it transmits
the eight bits of a byte of data along one wire, and receives data on another single wire
(that is, the data is transmitted in serial form, one bit after another). Parallel ports transmit
the bits of a byte on eight different wires at the same time (that is, in parallel form, eight
bits at the same time).
DDR (Double Data Rate): a technology designed to double the clock speed of the
memory. It activates output on both the rising and falling edge of the system clock rather
than on just the rising edge, potentially doubling output.
DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module): faster and more capacious form of RAM than
SIMMs, and do not need to be installed in pairs.
DIMM bank: sometimes called DIMM socket because the physical slot and the logical unit
are the same. That is, one DIMM module fits into one DIMM socket, which is capable of
acting as a memory bank.
DMA (Direct Memory Access): channels that are similar to IRQs. DMA channels allow
hardware devices (like soundcards or keyboards) to access the main memory without
involving the CPU. This frees up CPU resources for other tasks. As with IRQs, it is vital
that you do not double up devices on a single line. Plug-n-Play devices will take care of
this for you.
DRAM (Dynamic RAM): widely available, very affordable form of RAM which looses data
if it is not recharged regularly (every few milliseconds). This refresh requirement makes
DRAM three to ten times slower than non-recharged RAM such as SRAM.
ECC (Error Correction Code or Error Checking and Correcting): allows data to be
checked for errors during run-time. Errors can subsequently be corrected at the same
time that they’re found.
EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM): also called Flash BIOS, it is a
ROM chip which can, unlike normal ROM, be updated. This allows you to keep up with
changes in the BIOS programs without having to buy a new chip. TYAN’s BIOS updates
can be found at http://www.tyan.com
ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data): a format for storing information about
Plug-n-Play devices in the system BIOS. This information helps properly configure the
system each time it boots.
Firmware: low-level software that controls the system hardware.
73
http://www.TYAN.com
Form factor: an industry term for the size, shape, power supply type, and external
connector type of the Personal Computer Board (PCB) or motherboard. The standard
form factors are the AT and ATX.
Global timer: onboard hardware timer, such as the Real-Time Clock (RTC).
HDD: stands for Hard Disk Drive, a type of fixed drive.
H-SYNC: controls the horizontal synchronization/properties of the monitor.
TM
HyperTransport : a high speed, low latency, scalable point-to-point link for
interconnecting ICs on boards. It can be significantly faster than a PCI bus for an
equivalent number of pins. It provides the bandwidth and flexibility critical for today's
networking and computing platforms while retaining the fundamental programming model
of PCI.
IC (Integrated Circuit): the formal name for the computer chip.
IDE (Integrated Device/Drive Electronics): a simple, self-contained HDD interface. It
can handle drives up to 8.4 GB in size. Almost all IDEs sold now are in fact Enhanced
IDEs (EIDEs), with maximum capacity determined by the hardware controller.
IDE INT (IDE Interrupt): a hardware interrupt signal that goes to the IDE.
I/O (Input/Output): the connection between your computer and another piece of
hardware (mouse, keyboard, etc.)
IRQ (Interrupt Request): an electronic request that runs from a hardware device to the
CPU. The interrupt controller assigns priorities to incoming requests and delivers them to
the CPU. It is important that there is only one device hooked up to each IRQ line; doubling
up devices on IRQ lines can lock up your system. Plug-n-Play operating systems can take
care of these details for you.
Latency: the amount of time that one part of a system spends waiting for another part to
catch up. This occurs most commonly when the system sends data out to a peripheral
device and has to wait for the peripheral to spread (peripherals tend to be slower than
onboard system components).
NVRAM: ROM and EEPROM are both examples of Non-Volatile RAM, memory that holds
its data without power. DRAM, in contrast, is volatile.
Parallel port: transmits the bits of a byte on eight different wires at the same time.
PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect): a 32 or 64-bit local bus (data pathway)
which is faster than the ISA bus. Local buses are those which operate within a single
system (as opposed to a network bus, which connects multiple systems).
PCI PIO (PCI Programmable Input/Output) modes: the data transfer modes used by
IDE drives. These modes use the CPU for data transfer (in contrast, DMA channels do
not). PCI refers to the type of bus used by these modes to communicate with the CPU.
PCI-to-PCI bridge: allows you to connect multiple PCI devices onto one PCI slot.
74
http://www.TYAN.com
Pipeline burst SRAM: a fast secondary cache. It is used as a secondary cache because
SRAM is slower than SDRAM, but usually larger. Data is cached first to the faster primary
cache, and then, when the primary cache is full, to the slower secondary cache.
PnP (Plug-n-Play): a design standard that has become ascendant in the industry. Plug-nPlay devices require little set-up to use. Devices and operating systems that are not Plugn-Play require you to reconfigure your system each time you add or change any part of
your hardware.
PXE (Preboot Execution Environment): one of four components that together make up
the Wired for Management 2.0 baseline specification. PXE was designed to define a
standard set of preboot protocol services within a client with the goal of allowing
networked-based booting to boot using industry standard protocols.
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks): a way for the same data to be stored in
different places on many hard drives. By using this method, the data is stored redundantly
and multiple hard drives will appear as a single drive to the operating system. RAID level
0 is known as striping, where data is striped (or overlapped) across multiple hard drives,
but offers no fault-tolerance. RAID level 1 is known as mirroring, which stores the data
within at least two hard drives, but does not stripe. RAID level 1 also allows for faster
access time and fault-tolerance, since either hard drive can be read at the same time.
RAID level 0+1 is both striping and mirroring, providing fault-tolerance, striping, and faster
access all at the same time.
RAIDIOS: RAID I/O Steering (Intel)
RAM (Random Access Memory): technically refers to a type of memory where any byte
can be accessed without touching the adjacent data and is often referred to the system’s
main memory. This memory is available to any program running on the computer.
ROM (Read-Only Memory): a storage chip which contains the BIOS; the basic
instructions required to boot the computer and start up the operating system.
SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic RAM): called as such because it can keep two sets of
memory addresses open simultaneously. By transferring data alternately from one set of
addresses and then the other, SDRAM cuts down on the delays associated with nonsynchronous RAM, which must close one address bank before opening the next.
Serial port: called as such because it transmits the eight bits of a byte of data along one
wire, and receives data on another single wire (that is, the data is transmitted in serial
form, one bit after another).
SCSI Interrupt Steering Logic (SISL): Architecture that allows a RAID controller, such
as AcceleRAID 150, 200 or 250, to implement RAID on a system board-embedded SCSI
bus or a set of SCSI busses. SISL: SCSI Interrupt Steering Logic ( LSI ) (only on LSI
SCSI boards)
Sleep/Suspend mode: in this mode, all devices except the CPU shut down.
SDRAM (Static RAM): unlike DRAM, this type of RAM does not need to be refreshed in
order to prevent data loss. Thus, it is faster and more expensive.
75
http://www.TYAN.com
Standby mode: in this mode, the video and hard drives shut down; all other devices
continue to operate normally.
UltraDMA-33/66/100: a fast version of the old DMA channel. UltraDMA is also called
UltraATA. Without a proper UltraDMA controller, your system cannot take advantage of
higher data transfer rates of the new UltraDMA/UltraATA hard drives.
USB (Universal Serial Bus): a versatile port. This one port type can function as a serial,
parallel, mouse, keyboard or joystick port. It is fast enough to support video transfer, and
is capable of supporting up to 127 daisy-chained peripheral devices.
VGA (Video Graphics Array): the PC video display standard
V-SYNC: controls the vertical scanning properties of the monitor.
ZCR (Zero Channel RAID): PCI card that allows a RAID card to use the onboard SCSI
chip, thus lowering cost of RAID solution
ZIF Socket (Zero Insertion Force socket): these sockets make it possible to insert
CPUs without damaging the sensitive CPU pins. The CPU is lightly placed in an open ZIF
socket, and a lever is pulled down. This shifts the processor over and down, guiding it into
the board and locking it into place.
