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 H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+ motherboard requires a chassis that can support
a board of 16.64" x 6.8" in size. It was designed to be used in a Supermicro
1U Twin system.
Make sure that the I/O ports on the motherboard align with their respective
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
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
the standoffs.
Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard to the mainboard 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 continu-
ous ground for the system.

Installing Memory
Insert each memory module vertically into its slot, paying attention to the
notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module incor-
rectly (see Figure 2-1).
Install to slots CPU1/DIMM1A and CPU1/DIMM1B fi rst, then to CPU1/
DIMM2A and CPU1/DIMM2B, etc. Always install in pairs and in the numerical
order of the DIMM slots. See support information below.
