Chapter 5
Advanced Serverboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install the H8QG6/i-F serverboard into
the chassis, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All
serverboard jumpers and connections are also described. A layout and quick
reference chart are included in this chapter for your reference. Remember to
completely close the chassis when you have fi nished working with the serverboard
to better cool and protect the system.
5-1 Handling the Serverboard
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com
ponents. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very
carefully (see previous chapter). To prevent the serverboard from bending, keep
one hand under the center of the board to support it when handling. The following
measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment from electric static
discharge.
Precautions
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent Electrostatic Discharge
•
(ESD).
Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic
•
bag.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
•
memory modules or gold contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•
Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic
•
bags when not in use.
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
•
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.
