2-3 Mounting the Motherboard into a Chassis
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fi t different types of chassis.
Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both the motherboard
and the chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal
mounting fasteners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground
the motherboard to the chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are
screwed in tightly.
Check the Compatibility of the Motherboard Ports and the I/O Shield
The H8DCL-i/6(F) serverboard requires a chassis that can support a board of
1.
12" x 10" (304.8 mm x 254 mm) in size.
Make sure that the I/O ports on the motherboard align with their respective
2.
holes in the I/O shield at the rear of the chassis.
Mounting the Motherboard onto the Tray in the Chassis
Carefully mount the motherboard onto the motherboard tray by aligning the
1.
motherboard mounting holes with the raised metal standoffs in the tray.
Insert screws into all the mounting holes in the motherboard that line up with
2.
the standoffs.
Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard to the mainboard
3.
tray - tighten until just snug (if too tight you might strip the threads). Metal
screws provide an electrical contact to the motherboard ground to provide a
continuous ground for the system.
Exercise extreme caution when installing or removing memory modules to
prevent any possible damage.

Memory
Installing Memory
Insert each memory module vertically into its slot, paying attention to the
1.
notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module
incorrectly (see Figure 2-1).
Install to slots P1-DIMM1A, P1-DIMM1B, P1-DIMM2A and P1-DIMM2B, etc.
2.
Always install in groups of two and in the numerical order of the DIMM slots.
