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.
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.
your motherboard that line up with the standoffs and tighten until snug
(if you screw them in too tight, you might strip the threads).
screws provide an electrical contact to the motherboard ground to
provide a continuous ground for the system.
Insert screws into all the mounting holes on
