Motherboard Installation

This section explains the fi rst step of physically mounting the X8SiT-HF into the
SC217HQ-R920B chassis. Following the steps in the order given will eliminate the
most common problems encountered in such an installation. To remove the moth-
erboard, follow the procedure in reverse order.
Installing to the Chassis
1.
Access the inside of the system by removing the screws from the top cover of
the chassis, then lift the cover off.
2.
Make sure that the I/O ports on the motherboard align properly with their
respective holes in the I/O shield at the back of the chassis.
3.
Carefully mount the motherboard to the motherboard tray by aligning the
board holes with the raised metal standoffs that are visible in the chassis.
4.
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.
5.
Finish by replacing the top cover of the chassis.
Warning: To avoid damaging the motherboard and its components, do not apply
any force greater than 8 lbs. per square inch when installing a screw into a mount-
ing hole.
