This chapter covers the steps required to install the H8DGT-HF/HIBQF serverboard
into the chassis, connect the data and power cables and install add-on
cards. All serverboard jumpers and connections are also described. A layout
and quick reference chart are included in this chapter for your reference.
Remember to completely close the chassis when you have fi nished working with
the serverboard to better cool and protect the system.

Handling the Serverboard
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very
carefully (see previous chapter). To prevent the serverboard from bending, keep
one hand under the center of the board to support it when handling. The
following measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment from
electric static discharge.
Precautions

Discharge (ESD).
Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic
bag.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or gold contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their
antistatic bags when not in use.
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.
