2-3 Mounting the Serverboard into a Chassis
All serverboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of chassis. Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both the serverboard and the chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fasteners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the serverboard to the chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly.

2. Mounting the serverboard onto the mainboard tray in the chassis
Carefully mount the serverboard onto the mainboard tray by aligning the serverboard mounting holes with the raised metal standoffs in the tray. Insert screws into all the mounting holes in the serverboard that line up with the standoffs. Then use a screwdriver to secure the serverboard to the mainboard tray - tighten until just snug (if too tight you might strip the threads). Metal screws provide an electrical contact to the serverboard ground to provide a continuous ground for the system.
