2.9 Installing Optional SO-DIMM modules

Your Tiger i7320 (S5350) motherboard may be equipped with an optional proprietary SO- DIMM connector. The SO-DIMM connector can be used for expansion cards to provide such features as, additional SATA or SCSI support. For details of available expansions cards, visit the TYAN website at http://www.tyan.com. To install a SO-DIMM expansion card:

1.Open the spring levers as shown.

2.Insert the SO-DIMM card as shown, making sure that the card is the right way up. The card will fit in only one way and the screw holes in the card should line up exactly with the mounting posts on the motherboard.

3.Push the SO-DIMM card down into place and make sure the spring levers click into place as shown.

4.Screw the board into place using one or two screws as required.

Removal of a SO-DIMM card is a reversal of the installation
