Chapter 5
Advanced Serverboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install the X8DTT-F/X8DTT-IBXF/X8DTT-
IBQF serverboard into the SC818GTQ-1400B 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 X8DTT-F/X8DTT-IBXF/X8DTT-IBQF
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.
