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 H8DGU-F serverboard requires a chassis that can support a board of 1.
12.1" x 13" (304 x 330 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.
