1U Rackmount System

Unpacking

The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrical static dis- charge. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

5-2 Serverboard Installation

This section explains the first step of physically mounting the embedded board into the RMC7136 chassis. Following the steps in the order given will eliminate the most common problems encountered in such an installation. To remove the motherboard, follow the procedure in reverse order.

Installing to the Chassis

1.Access the inside of the system (see procedure in Chapter 6).

2.Make sure that the I/O ports on the motherboard align properly with their respective holes in the I/O shield at the back of the chassis.

3.Carefully mount the motherboard to the motherboard tray by aligning the

board holes with the raised metal standoffs that are visible in the chassis. You may need to add an extra standoff for the hole near the Fan 3 header.

4.Insert screws into all the mounting holes on your motherboard that line up with the standoffs and tighten until snug (if you screw them in too tight, you might strip the threads).

5.Finish by replacing the top cover of the chassis.

Note: Metal screws provide an electrical contact to the serverboard ground to provide a continuous ground for the system.

Warning: To avoid damaging the serverboard and its components, do not apply any force greater than 8 lbs. per square inch when installing a screw into a mount- ing hole.
