Xeon Installation Procedure

Xeon Processor Installation
Step 1: Install the Baseboard
A metal baseboard is required to add stability to the motherboard. A rubber pad is
placed between the metal board and motherboard to provide insulation to prevent
shorting. Align the rubber pad over the metal baseboard so that the holes match.
Align the ASUS XG-DLS motherboard over the rubber pad and metal baseboard so
that the screws match up with the motherboard's screw holes. Place and tighten
three captive nuts in the corner locations circled.

other captive nuts yet.
