Installing the Serverboard

I/O Shield

The I/O shield holds the serverboard ports in place. The I/O shield does not require
installation.

Permanent and Optional Standoffs

Standoffs prevent short circuits by creating space between the serverboard and the
chassis surface. The SC217HQ+ chassis includes permanent standoffs in locations
used by the serverboards. These standoffs accept the rounded Phillips head screws
included in the SC217HQ+ accessories packaging.
Some serverboards require additional screws for heatsinks, general components
and/or non-standard security. Optional standoffs are used for these serverboards.
To use an optional standoff, you must place a hexagonal screw through the bottom
the chassis and secure the screw with the hexagonal nut (rounded side up).
Depending upon the configuration of the serverboard being used, it is also possible
that some of the optional standoffs which are pre-installed in the chassis, may need
to be removed.
