TYAN GC68-B7126 Dual Ice Lake Xeon 1U Cloud Server

General Information

Read Me First

The Barebone User’s Manual is available for download from our Web site at http://www.tyan.com. Make sure to read all precautions and instructions before you start installing the server system.
Refer all servicing to qualified personnel to avoid the risk of damage to the server system.
Exercise normal ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) procedures during system integration. TYAN/MiTAC recommends wearing gloves and an anti-static wrist strap to avoid possible damage to the equipment.
Current processor socket design places the pins on the motherboard instead of the processor itself. Exercise caution when installing the processors as the manufacturer’s warranty does not cover damage inflicted upon the motherboard, including damage to the CPU sockets.

Open the Chassis

Preparing the Chassis
Read normal ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) procedures.
Place your TYAN® Server Chassis on a flat anti-static surface to perform the following integration procedures. Read ESD procedures before reaching inside to install components.

Open the Chassis

Install the Add-On Card (Optional)

Remove the two screws securing the riser bracket to the chassis. Then lift to remove the riser bracket.
$Install the Add-On Card $Optional$ 01$
Flip the riser bracket and place on a surface. Remove the fixing screw and the PCI dummy slot cover accordingly.
$Install the Add-On Card $Optional$ 02$
Install the add-on card to the riser slot. Make sure the card is firmly latched into the riser bracket. Secure the add-on card to riser bracket with the screw released in step 2.
$Install the Add-On Card $Optional$ 03$
Carefully flip the riser bracket. Then align and install the riser bracket to its slot on the chassis. Secure the riser bracket to chassis with the two screws released in step 1.
$Install the Add-On Card $Optional$ 04$

Install the Memory

Unlock the clips.
Insert the memory module.
Lock the clips.

Install the Processor

Align the triangle edge of the carrier with the notch on the edge of the heatsink. Then install the carrier on the bottom of the heatsink and make sure the latches are snapped under the edge of the heatsink.
Align and install the processor on the carrier. Make sure the gold arrow is located in the correct direction.
Remove the CPU cover.
Carefully flip the heatsink assembly. Align the heatsink with the CPU socket by the guide pins. Make also sure that the triangle edge of the carrier is aligned correctly with the triangle mark on the CPU socket. Then place the heatsink assembly onto the top of the CPU socket.
Press down on the retention clips to fix the heatsink assembly to the CPU socket.
To secure the heatsink assembly, use a T30 Security Torx to tighten the screws in a sequential order (1⇒2⇒3⇒4).
NOTE: When dissembling the heatsink, loosen the screws in reverse order (4⇒3⇒2⇒1).

NOTE: A new heatsink comes with pre-applied thermal grease.
Once the heatsink has been removed from the processor, you need to clean the processor and heatsink using an alcohol solvent. Then apply new thermal grease before reinstalling the heatsink.

Install the Processor 07

Install the Air Ducts

Align the air duct with its respective slot, and then hook the tab of the air duct to the fan cage. Push the air duct down until it is fully seated. Repeat the same procedures to install another air duct.
