H8SGL(-F) Serverboard User's Manual

2-4

2-3 Mounting the Motherboard into a Chassis

All motherboards have standard mounting holes to ﬁ t different types of chassis.

Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both the motherboard

and the chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal

mounting fasteners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground

the motherboard to the chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are

screwed in tightly.

Check the Compatibility of the Motherboard Ports and the I/O Shield

The H8SGL(-F) serverboard requires a chassis that can support a board of 1.

12" x 8" (305 x 203 mm) in size.

Make sure that the I/O ports on the motherboard align with their respective 2.

holes in the I/O shield at the rear of the chassis.

Mounting the Motherboard onto the Tray in the Chassis

Carefully mount the motherboard onto the motherboard tray by aligning the 1.

motherboard mounting holes with the raised metal standoffs in the tray.

Insert screws into all the mounting holes in the motherboard that line up with 2.

the standoffs.

Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard to the mainboard 3.

tray - tighten until just snug (if 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.

Exercise extreme caution when installing or removing memory modules to

prevent any possible damage.

2-4 Installing Memory

Installing Memory

Insert each memory module vertically into its slot, paying attention to the 1.

notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module

incorrectly (see Figure 2-1).

Install to slots CPU1/DIMM1A, CPU1/DIMM2A, CPU1/DIMM3A and CPU1/2.

DIMM4A, etc. Always install in groups of four and in the numerical order of

the DIMM slots. See support information below.
