Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrical static
discharge. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is
static protected.

Motherboard Installation
This section explains the first step of physically mounting the P4SGE into
the SC512 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 5013G-M (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 P4SGE requires a chassis big enough to support a 12" x 9.5"
motherboard, such as Supermicro's SC512 1U rackmount. 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.
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. 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.
