Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance

Installing the I/O Shield

1. Review the documentation that came with your motherboard. Become familiar

with component placement, requirements, and precautions.

2. Power down the server, remove the power cord from the power supply and

remove the chassis cover..

3. With the illustrations facing the outside of the chassis, place the shield into

the space provided.

4. Once installed, the motherboard will hold the I/O shield in place.

Permanent and Optional Standoffs

Standoffs prevent short circuits by creating space between the motherboard and

the chassis surface. The SC829 chassis includes permanent standoffs in locations

used by most motherboards. These standoffs accept the rounded Phillips head

screws included in the SC829 accessories packaging. Compare the mounting holes

in the motherboard to the holes in the chassis and then add or remove standoffs

as needed.

Some motherboards require additional screws for heatsinks, general components

and/or non-standard security. Optional standoffs are included to these mother-

boards. To use an optional standoff, you must place the hexagonal screw through

the bottom the chassis and secure the screw with the hexagon nut (rounded side

up).
