5-2 Serverboard Installation
This section explains the fi rst step of physically mounting the serverboard into the
chassis. Following the steps in the order given will eliminate the most common
problems encountered in such an installation. To remove the serverboard, follow
the procedure in reverse order.
Accessing the Inside of the System
Remove all four screws securing the top cover of the chassis: two at the top
rear of the cover and one on each side lip, also near the back.
Place both thumbs in the indentations and push the cover back until it slides
off.
Lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the serv-
er. (If already installed in a rack, you must fi rst release the retention screws
that secure the unit to the rack, then grasp the two handles on either side and
pull the unit straight out until the rails lock into place. See Figure 2-5.)
Check Compatibility of Serverboard Ports and I/O Shield
Make sure that the I/O ports on the serverboards align properly with their respective
holes in the I/O shield at the back of the chassis when installing.
Mounting the Serverboard onto the Serverboard Tray
Carefully mount the serverboards by aligning the board holes with the raised
metal standoffs that are visible in the chassis.
Insert screws into all the mounting holes on your serverboards that line up
with the standoffs and tighten until snug (if you screw them in too tight, you
might strip the threads).
Metal screws provide an electrical contact to the serverboard ground to pro-
vide a continuous ground for the system.

When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.
