Installing a CPU Board to the Baseboard
After populating the CPU board with the desired components and reinstalling the
air shroud, you must install the CPU module to the baseboard.
1.
Locate the CPU board slots on the X8OBN baseboard.
2.
Using both hands, grab the two handles on the CPU module keeping the
CPU bracket facing toward the PCI-E slot area.
3.
With the back plate (marked "Front") toward the left side of the chassis, align
the edge of the CPU board bracket with the guide rails, which are located on
the middle fan bracket and the rear of the chassis.
4.
Insert the CPU module into the guide rails until the bottom of the CPU board
contacts the top of the CPU board slot. The gold fi ngers at the bottom of the
board should contact the slots at the same time that the handles touch the
frame.
5.
Make sure the notch on each of the latches has entered the frame, then
press both handles inward to close them. Gently push the CPU board into the
slot until it is fully seated.
6.
Press the red latches on the handles inward to lock the handles on the CPU
board bracket, which will secure the CPU module in place.
