3 Getting Started
3.1 Removing a Node Tray from the Chassis
1. Unlock the node tray by pulling the lever to the right as shown
2. Pull the node tray out of the chassis. It may be necessary to pull very firmly to unplug
the SATA drive connectors inside the chassis.
MCS-2040
3.2 Installing the CPU
1. Locate the CPU sockets on the board.
13
2. Press the load lever, move it outwards until it is clear of the retention tab, then raise it
MCS-2040
3. Open the load plate and remove the protective cover from the socket. Do not touch
the socket contacts or the bottom of the processor.
14
4. Carefully place the CPU into the socket, making sure the socket notches align with
the processor notches and the alignment triangle on the CPU lines up with the correct
corner on the socket,. Lower the processor straight down, without tilting or sliding the
processor in the socket. Gently release the processor, making sure that it is seated
correctly in the socket.
MCS-2040
5. Close the load plate, push the load lever back down, and engage it with the retention
tab.
15
3.3 Installing the Heatsink
1. Make sure there is sufficient thermal paste on of the heatsink
2. Place the heatsink on the CPU with the cooling fins aligned with the DIMM slots as
shown.
MCS-2040
3. Tighten the captive screws in an "X" pattern until the heatsink is secured on the CPU.
Do NOT over tighten the screws

1. Insert the mSATA module into the socket at an angle as shown, then press it down
flat against the standoffs on the PCB.
17
2. Secure the mSATA modules to the node with 2 screws provided with the module.
MCS-2040
3.5 Reinserting a Node Tray into the Chassis
1. Carefully insert the node tray into the chassis, checking that the sides of the tray are
aligned with guides in the chassis.
2. Slowly push the tray into the chassis until it is fully inserted. Press firmly until the
locking tab makes a clicking sound.
18
3.6 Installing 2.5’’ SATA Drive
1. Push the green tab to unlock the drive tray.
2. Eject the drive tray by lifting the handle as shown. Pull the tray out of the chassis.
MCS-2040
3. Loosen the 4 screws shown below and remove the plastic place holder. Install a 2.5’’
SATA drive with the connectors facing towards the back of the tray. Secure the SATA
drive to the bracket with the 4 screws.
