Motherboard Installation

This section explains the first step of physically mounting the P3TDER+ into
the SC810 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 6011H (see Figure 2-5):
Two release buttons are located on the top cover of the chassis.
Depress 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 the compatibility of the motherboard ports and the
chassis backpanel:
The P3TDER+ requires a chassis big enough to support a 12.05" x
11.5" extended ATX motherboard, such as Supermicro's SC810 1U
rackmount chassis. Make sure that the I/O ports on the motherboard
properly align with their respective holes in the chassis backpanel.
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 should be
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 (careful - 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.
