Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup

5-1

Chapter 5 

Advanced Serverboard Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install the X8DTT-F/X8DTT-IBXF/X8DTT-

IBQF serverboard into the SC827H-(R)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.
