Installing The Baseboard - Intel SPSH4 - Server Platform - 0 MB RAM Product Manual

Installing the Baseboard

To install the baseboard:
1. With the rear of the electronics bay closest to you and the baseboard oriented so that the
I/O connectors line up with the cutout in the back left of the chassis (Figure 13, above), lower
the right end of the baseboard into the electronics bay and slip the board edge into the slots of
the foam panel (Figure 13, B, above).
2. Lower the other end of the baseboard to the floor of the electronics bay and slide it toward the
back of the chassis until:
a. The I/O connectors fit all of the way into the I/O connector openings.
b. The six mounting holes (Figure 13, A, above) on the baseboard are aligned with their
corresponding threaded standoffs in the floor of the electronics bay.
3. Install the processor board mounting brackets and processor-side plastic overlay as follows:
a. Align the processor board mounting bracket for the center of the baseboard with the three
mounting holes. Insert a screw through each of the holes and partially thread the screws
into the standoffs.
b. Align the other mounting bracket along the edge of the board. Align the plastic overlay
with the bracket and the two plastic studs. Insert a screw through each of the holes in the
overlay and mounting bracket and partially thread the screws into the standoffs.
c. Adjust the board position as needed and tighten the six screws.
4. Install the plastic protective overlay covering the PCI area of the board as follows:
a. At the side of the electronics bay where the edge of the baseboard is inserted into the foam,
place the two slots in the overlay over the hooked tabs (Figure 12, C, on page 75).
b. Slide the overlay toward the rear of the chassis to hook the tabs in the slots.
c. Carefully fit the overlay around the baseboard connectors and down against the board.
d. Tighten the captive screw that holds the overlay in place.
5. Install the front retention mechanism for the PCI add-in cards on the front wall of the
electronics bay (Figure 12 on page 75).
6. Connect all internal cables to the baseboard. To make sure you route the cables correctly, refer
to "System Cables" on page 106. If the cables are not routed correctly, you won't be able to
close the front subchassis.
7. Install the PCI add-in board curtains as follows:
a. At the back of the electronics bay, slide the end of a curtain with the locking tab into the
topmost square hole adjacent to any add-in board expansion slot.
b. At the front of the electronics bay, slide the tab at the other end of the curtain into the clip
on the corresponding retention mechanism.
8. Install all PCI add-in boards and attach any internal cables to the boards.
9. Attach the external cables to the baseboard I/O ports.
