Motherboard Installation

This section explains the first step of physically mounting the A1SAM-2550F into the
SC813MFTQ-202CB 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.
Installing to the Chassis
1. Remove the screws from the rear lip of the chassis cover (see Figure 2-5).
2. Release the top cover by pushing it 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
3. Make sure that the I/O ports on the motherboard align properly with their
respective holes in the I/O shield at the back of the chassis.
4. Carefully mount the motherboard to the motherboard tray by aligning the
board holes with the raised metal standoffs that are visible in the chassis.
5. 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).
Note: Metal screws provide an electrical contact to the motherboard ground to
provide a continuous ground for the system.
Warning: To avoid damaging the motherboard and its components, do not apply
any force greater than 8 lbs. per square inch when installing a screw into a mount-
ing hole.
