1.8 Installing the Motherboard

CAUTION

In order to remove or install the motherboard, remove the power module, AC strip unit, Interface unit,
PCI riser card unit and Cooling FAN unit beforehand.

①

Remove the power supply unit first.

CAUTION

Routing SCSI cable should be prior to installing Interface unit.

②

Place the motherboard on the chassis standoffs so that each of the six mounting holes fit over a

standoff.

CAUTION

Check the insulator of motherboard on the chassis and then insert the front side of motherboard
into the chassis first. In placing the motherboard, check the ID LED's hole.

③

Secure the motherboard on the chassis with the screws.

Alignment for the ID LED
