    Tools Required The only tools you will need to install the S2QR6/S2QE6 into a chassis are a long and a short Philips screwdriver. Handling the S2QR6/S2QE6 Motherboard Static electrical discharge can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully.

  • Page 30: Motherboard Installation

    Check compatibility of motherboard ports and I/O shield: The S2QR6/S2QE6 requires a chassis big enough to support a 13" x 18" motherboard, such as the Supermicro SC850 and SC840. Make sure that the I/O ports on the motherboard properly align with their respective holes in the I/O shield at the back of the chassis.
