Motherboard Installation
This section explains the first step of physically mounting the P3TDLR into
a chassis.
Following the steps in the order given will eliminate the most
common problems encountered in such an installation.
motherboard, follow the procedure in reverse order.
1.
Check compatibility of motherboard ports and I/O shield:
The P3TDLR requires a chassis big enough to support a 12" x 10"
motherboard, such as Supermicro's SC810 1U rackmount. 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.
2.
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.
