A. Insert the Server Board

Place the board into the chassis, making sure that back panel I/O openings and
chassis standoffs align correctly.

Use screws to attach the board to the chassis at the 9 locations indicated by the
solid blue arrows in the figure [ ].

The directions below are for the Intel

®

Server Chassis P4000 series.

For a non-Intel

®

server chassis, use the fasteners that came with your chassis.

• When using the Intel

®

Server Chassis P4000 series, insert the front of the board
first, then slide the board back so the I/O connectors fit through the I/O
openings at the rear of the chassis.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If you are using a non-Intel® server chassis, see your

chassis documentation for preparatory steps prior to server board installation.

Quick Start User's Guide

If you are not familiar with ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) procedures used during system integration,
please see the Intel® Server Board S1200BT Service Guide, available on the Intel® Server Deployment
Toolkit CD or at http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server.

Please boot to the Intel® Server Deployment Toolkit CD first for BIOS and firmware configuration and updates.

Read all cautions and warnings first before starting your server system integration.

When installing the server board into a reference chassis,
refer to the reference chassis instructions.

For details on these chassis or to select a third party chassis,

please visit http://www.intel.com/go/serverbuilder and

http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server.

Thank you for buying the Intel® Server Board S1200BTL and S1200BTLRM.
The following information will help you integrate your new server board
into a server chassis. The Intel® Server Board S1200BTL and S1200BTLRM
are designed for use with the Intel® Server Chassis P4000 series.

Install Active Heat Sink(s)

Use the following procedure to install an active heat
sink to your server board:

An active heat sink is required for the Intel®
Entry Server Chassis P4000 series. A typical active

heat sink is shown at right. Rotate the active heat
sink so that the power connector can reach the
CPU fan header on the server board.

Make sure the screwdriver slot at the top
of each fastener is rotated perpendicular
to the blades of the heat sink as shown.

A

Align heat sink to the holes
in board and lower assembly
to board. Snaps go through
holes in server board.

B

Press downward
on the top of the cap.

C

Plug the fan cable into the CPU fan header.

E

Fastener snaps
into final position.

D

Repeat B-D for each
fastener in the numerical
order shown at left.
