top that you can grip with your fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with the function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not squeeze, the pliers or other tool you use to remove a jumper, or you may bend or break the stake pins on the board.

Server Board

Installing the Server Board

CAUTION

The server board can be extremely sensitive to ESD and always requires careful handling. After removing it from the server, place it component side up on a nonconductive, static free surface to prevent shorting out the battery leads. If you place the board on a conductive surface, the battery leads may short out. If they do, this will result in a loss of CMOS data and will drain the battery. Do not slide the server board over any surface.

1.Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter.

2.Insert screws through the mounting holes and into the threaded standoffs. Make sure the board is properly seated, and then tighten all the screws firmly.

3.Connect all internal cables to the server board.

/NOTE

The floppy cable (Intel Part Number 738992-002) has been modified to support all floppy drives. The floppy drive connector on the cable (see connector label) is not keyed. Care should be taken to match pin 1 of the cable, indicated with a red stripe on the cable, with pin 1 of the floppy drive.

4.Reinstall add-in boards.

5.Connect all internal cables to add-in boards. Make sure you connect the power cables to the correct power connectors.

6.Connect all peripheral device cables to the I/O panel on the rear of the server.

7.Run the SSU to configure the server.
