recommended that motherboard removal or installation be done by a Supermicro
trained technician. In case of emergency, 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.
Installing to the Chassis
1. Remove the motherboard tray from the chassis body.
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.
Caution: Do not slide the motherboard into a tray as this will damage the
components on the bottom of the board.
4. Insert screws into all the mounting holes on your motherboard that line up
with the standoffs and tighten. Metal screws provide an electrical contact to
the motherboard ground to provide a continuous ground for the system.

force greater than 8 inch-lbs. when tightening the screws

cables into motherboard and attach to tray with included screws.
