INSTALLATION
NOTE:
Before you install this mainboard into your chassis, study the pattern of mounting studs, rear
panel slots, and internal chassis components to ensure the mainboard fits correctly. There are 7
mounting holes available on the C1P9S01; ensure that your chassis provides studs for all 7 for
maximum reliability and longevity of the mainboard.
NOTE:
Installation of the mainboard should take place in a static-controlled environment using
appropriate anti-static measures. Failure to follow these precautions could result in permanent
damage to the mainboard and attached components.
Begin installation by examining your chassis. If there is an existing I/O shield in your chassis, remove
it by gently striking it from the outside of your chassis; it should pop free. Align the new I/O shield
inside your chassis so that the ridges on the I/O shield point away from the interior of your chassis;
then, gently but firmly snap the new I/O shield into place in the rear of your chassis.
Carefully place the mainboard inside the chassis, ensuring that the I/O ports are aligned with the
corresponding holes in the I/O shield. Gently press the mainboard into the I/O shield until the
mounting holes are aligned with the chassis studs. Secure the mainboard with one screw in the lower
right corner, followed by one in the upper left corner, then install the remaining screws. Torque all
mainboard mounting screws to 7 ft-lbs (0.8N-m).
WARNING
: There are fragile electronic components located on the entire bottom surface of the
mainboard. Ensure that the mainboard is aligned with the studs
before
allowing any part of the rear
surface to contact the mounting studs; also ensure that the mainboard does not slide on the studs
once positioned. Failure to follow these instructions could result in severe damage to the mainboard.
If you believe you have damaged one or more parts on the bottom of the mainboard, but have not yet
applied power,
stop
and remove the mainboard
without
applying power. Inspect the mainboard for
mechanical damage, and if present return the mainboard for repair service.
REMOVAL
Begin by moving the chassis to a static-controlled environment. Before removing the mainboard,
remove all attached cables, peripherals, and RAM. Ensure that both CPUs and heatsinks have been
removed, and that both protective socket covers are in place. Carefully loosen and remove all screws,
saving the lower right hand corner for last. Gently lift the side of the mainboard farthest from the I/O
shield, then slide the ports out of the I/O shield. Do not allow the mainboard to fall onto or contact the
chassis mounting studs at this point. Carefully remove the mainboard from the chassis. If the
mainboard is to be returned for service, immediately place it in an appropriately sized anti-static bag.
