6-8 Installing the Serverboard
I/O Shield
The I/O shield holds the serverboard ports in place. The I/O shield does not require
installation.
Permanent and Optional Standoffs
Standoffs prevent short circuits by securing space between the serverboard and the
chassis surface. The chassis includes permanent standoffs in locations
used by the serverboards. These standoffs accept the rounded Phillips head screws
included in the accessories packaging.
Some serverboards require additional screws for heatsinks, general components
and/or non-standard security. Optional standoffs are used for these serverboards.
To use an optional standoff, you must place a hexagon screw through the bottom
the chassis and secure the screw with the hexagonal nut (rounded side up).
Depending upon the configuration of the serverboard being used, it is also possible
that some of the optional standoffs which are pre-installed in the chassis, may need
to be removed.
Installing the Serverboard (Figure 6-10)
1. Review the documentation that came with your serverboard. Become familiar
with component placement, requirements, precautions, and cable connections.
2. Pull the serverboard drawer out of the back of the chassis.
3. Remove the expansion card brackets:
a. Remove screw securing the expansion card bracket to the back of the
drawer.
b. Lift the bracket out of the drawer.
c. Repeat this process for the second riser card.
4. Lay the first serverboard in the drawer aligning the standoffs with the serverboard.
5. Secure the serverboard to the drawer using the rounded, Phillips head screws
included for this purpose.
6. Repeat steps 3 - 5 for the remaining drawers.
7. Secure the CPU(s), heatsinks, and other components to the serverboard as
described in the serverboard documentation.
