6-10 Installing the Serverboard
Compatible Motherboards
For the most up-to-date information on compatible motherboards and other parts,
visit the Supermicro Web site at www.supermicro.com.
Permanent and Optional Standoffs
Standoffs prevent short circuits by creating space between the serverboard and the
fl oor of the node. The F424AG chassis includes permanent standoffs in locations
used by most motherboards. These standoffs use the rounded Phillips head screws
included in the F424AG accessories packaging.
Some motherboards require additional screws for heatsinks, general components
and/or non-standard security. Optional standoffs are used for these motherboards.
To use an optional standoff, compare the mounting holes in the serverboard with
those in the fl oor of the serverboard node. Then place a screw through the bottom
the node and secure the screw with a hexagonal nut (rounded side up).
Depending upon the confi guration of the serverboard being used, it is also possible
that some of the optional standoffs which are pre-installed in the chassis, may need
to be removed. Add or remove standoffs as needed.
Installing the Serverboard
1. Review the documentation that came with your serverboard. Become familiar
with component placement, requirements, cautions, and cable connections.
2. Power down the system and remove the power cord from the rear of the
power supply as described in Section 6-3. Remove the node from the chassis
as described in Section 6-4 and place the node on a fl at, stable surface.
Remove the cover from the node as described in Section 6-7.
3. Compare the holes in the serverboard with those in the fl oor of the node, then
add or remove standoffs as needed.
4. Secure the serverboard to the fl oor of the node tray using the rounded,
Phillips head screws included for this purpose. Do not exceed eight pounds of
torque when tightening down the serverboard.
5. Install the expansion card associated with the serverboard if the chassis is a
hot-swappable version. Refer to the next section for instructions on installing
the expansion card
6. Secure the CPU(s), heatsinks, and other components to the serverboard as
described in the serverboard documentation.
