Instructions
Safety Note
The nuxV 1600 boards, like all electronic equipment, are sensitive to damage from static
discharge. To avoid damage caused by static discharge, we strongly recommend that you use
an anti-static wrist strap when handling the boards.
Step 1
Install the boards into the server case (optional)
If your boards are not installed in the rack mount nuxV 1600, you may need to do the
following.
If you are installing a miniPCI card as well, you may want to do that first (go to Step 3).
1. Remove the five (5) screws from the top of the case and remove the top of the case.
2. Attach the board to the mounting plate using the M3 x 16 standoffs.
Note:
Steps 3 to 10 are only required if you are installing a hard drive as well.
3. Attach the hard drive to the hard drive mounting plate using 4 x M3 x 5 screws, with the
hard drive connectors facing toward the widest notch in the plate.
4. If the heat bridge is not already connected to the hard drive plate, attach it to the hole on
the right-hand-side of the plate with an M3 x 5 screw, with the foot facing toward the
widest notch.
5. Plug the power and data cables into the board, with the right-angle connector end of the
data cable plugged into the board.
6. Attach the hard drive mounting plate to the standoffs on the board, leaving the right-hand
screws loose for now.
7. Make sure that the heat bridge is fully connected by lightly tapping on the right hand side
of the mounting plate. You should hear the mounting plate click on the head of the
standoff. If not, you will need to adjust the heat bridge before proceeding further.
