Installing the Heatsinks

We recommend the use of active type heatsinks (except for 1U systems). Use any onboard fan header for the CPU's heatsink fan. To install the heatsink, please follow the installation instructions included with your heatsink package (not included).

2-3 Mounting the Mainboard 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.

Checking the Compatibility of the Mainboard Ports and the I/O Shield

1.The H8DMT Serverboard requires a chassis that can support a board of 16.4" x 6.5" in size. It was designed to be used in a Supermicro 1U Twin system.

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

Mounting the Mainboard onto the Tray in the Chassis

1.Carefully mount the Serverboard onto the motherboard tray by aligning the motherboard mounting holes with the raised metal standoffs in the tray.

2.Insert screws into all the mounting holes in the Serverboard that line up with the standoffs.

3.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.
