5-2 Serverboard Installation
This section explains the fi rst step of physically mounting the X7DBT-T/X7DBT-INF
into the SC808T-980 chassis. Following the steps in the order given will eliminate
the most common problems encountered in such an installation. To remove the
serverboard, follow the procedure in reverse order.
1. Accessing the inside of the system (see Figure 2-5)
The top cover of the chassis is secured with four screws: two at the top rear of
the cover and one on each side lip, also near the back. Remove all four, then
place both thumbs in the indentations and push the cover back until it slides
off. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the
inside of the server. (If already installed in a rack, you must fi rst release the
retention screws that secure the unit to the rack. Then grasp the two handles
on either side and pull the unit straight out until the rails lock into place.)
2. Check compatibility of serverboard ports and I/O shield
The X7DBT-T/X7DBT-INF in a Twin 1U confi guration requires the use of
Supermicro's specially designed 1U Twin chassis: the SC808T-980. Make
sure that the I/O ports on the serverboards align properly with their respective
holes in the I/O shield at the back of the chassis when installing.
3. Mounting the serverboard onto the serverboard tray
Carefully mount the serverboards by aligning the board holes with the raised
metal standoffs that are visible in the chassis. Insert screws into all the mount-
ing holes on your serverboards 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 serverboard ground to provide a continuous
ground for the system.
Unpacking
The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrostatic discharge.
When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.
