5-3 Processor and Heatsink Installation
!
Installing the Processor
1. Lift the lever on the CPU socket until
it points straight up.
Exercise extreme caution when handling and installing the proces-
sor. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it be-
fore adding, removing or changing any hardware components.
5-2 Mounting the Motherboard into a Chassis
All serverboards and 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.
1. Check the compatibility of the motherboard ports and the I/O shield
The H8SMi-2 motherboard requires a chassis that can support extended ATX
boards of 12" x 9.6" in size, such as the SC811FT-260. Make sure that the I/O
ports on the motherboard align with their respective holes in the I/O shield at the
rear of the chassis.
2. Mounting the motherboard onto the mainboard tray in the chassis
Carefully mount the motherboard onto the mainboard tray by aligning the mother-
board mounting holes with the raised metal standoffs in the tray. Insert screws into
all the mounting holes in the motherboard that line up with the standoffs. Then use a
screwdriver to secure the motherboard to the mainboard 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.
