SUPERSERVER 5014C-T User's Manual

Unpacking

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

5-2 Motherboard Installation

This section explains the first step of physically mounting the P8SCi into the SC811T-260 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.

1.Accessing the inside of the 5014C-T (see Figure 2-5)

Two release buttons are located on the top cover of the chassis. Depressing both of these buttons while pushing the cover away from you until it stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server. (If already installed in a rack, you must first release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack. Then grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until the rails lock into place.)

2.Check compatibility of motherboard ports and I/O shield:

The P8SCi requires a chassis big enough to support a 12" x 9.5" motherboard, such as Supermicro's SC811T-260 chassis. Make sure that the I/O ports on the motherboard align properly with their respec- tive holes in the I/O shield at the back of the chassis.

3.Mounting the motherboard onto the motherboard tray:

Carefully mount the motherboard to the motherboard tray by aligning the board holes with the raised metal standoffs that are visible on the bottom of the chassis. 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). Metal screws provide an electrical contact to the motherboard ground to provide a continuous ground for the system.
