2-3 Mounting the Serverboard into a Chassis
All serverboards have standard mounting holes to fi t different types of chassis.
Ensure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both the serverboard and
the chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mount-
ing fasteners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the
serverboard to the chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are
screwed in tightly.
Check the Compatibility of the Serverboard Ports and the I/O Shield
The H8QM3-2+/H8QMi-2+ serverboard requires a chassis that can support extend-
ed ATX boards of 16" x 13" in size. Make sure that the I/O ports on the serverboard
align with their respective openings in the I/O shield at the rear of the chassis.
Mounting the Serverboard into the Chassis
Carefully align the serverboard mounting holes with the raised metal standoffs
in the serverboard tray.
Insert screws into all the mounting holes in the serverboard that line up with
the standoffs.
Use a screwdriver to tighten all screws until just snug (if too tight you might
strip the threads).

2-4 Installing
Memory
!
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing memory modules to
prevent any possible damage.
Installing DIMMs
Insert each memory module vertically into its slot, paying attention to the
notch(es) along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module
incorrectly (see Figure 2-1). Insert fi rst into the 1B slot(s), then the 1A slot(s),
etc. See support information below.
Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place.
Note:
Each processor has its own built-in memory controller, consequently each
CPU has an eight-slot memory bank associated with it. (Memory installed into a
bank with no CPU present cannot be accessed.) 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB and
4 GB memory modules are supported. It is highly recommended that you remove
the power cord from the system before installing or changing DIMMs.
