Server Board Installation

This section is a continuation from
1. Locate and unpack the replacement server board.
• The replacement server board is pre-assembled to the mounting plate
• Take care to only handle the server board by its edges.
2. Orient and carefully lower the server board into the chassis.
3. Standing behind the system, grasp the mounting plate handle (see Letter A) and pull the server board
towards the back of the system.
• Note: While pulling back the server board with one hand, it may be necessary to apply slight
downward pressure on the server board (just in front of the PCIe add-in slots) with the other hand
to ensure all the key slots of the mounting plate slide over the mounting studs of the chassis.
• The server board is in place when all connectors and buttons on the back edge of the server
board protrude from the chassis back panel.
4. Starting with the blue thumbscrew closest to the back of the system, tighten the five (5) blue
thumbscrews to secure the mounting plate to the chassis (see Letters B).
• Note: The rear thumbscrew should easily tighten using little force. If the thumbscrew does not
tighten easily, DO NOT force it. Slide the server board towards the front drive bay and redo Step 3
until the mounting plate is properly seated over all the chassis base studs and the server board is
properly aligned with the back panel.
