SUPERSERVER 6015TC-T/6015TC-10G User's Manual

Unpacking

The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrostatic discharge. 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 X7DCT/X7DCT-10G into the SC808T-780 chassis. Following the steps in the order given will eliminate the most common problems encountered in such an installation. To remove the serverboard, follow the procedure in reverse order.

Accessing the Inside of the System

1.Remove all four screws securing the top cover of the chassis: two at the top rear of the cover and one on each side lip, also near the back.

2.Place both thumbs in the indentations and push the cover back until it slides off.

3.Lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server. (If already installed in a rack, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until the rails lock into place. See Figure 2-5.)

Check Compatibility of Serverboard Ports and I/O Shield

1.The X7DCT/X7DCT-10G in a Twin 1U configuration requires the use of Supermicro's specially designed 1U Twin chassis: the SC808T-780.

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

Mounting the Serverboard onto the Serverboard Tray

1.Carefully mount the serverboards by aligning the board holes with the raised metal standoffs that are visible in the chassis.

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

3.Metal screws provide an electrical contact to the serverboard ground to pro- vide a continuous ground for the system.
