Preparing
the Chassis

Observe normal ESD
(Electrostatic Discharge)
procedures.

Place your
Intel

®

Server
Chassis on a flat anti-static
surface to perform the
following integration
procedures. Observe ESD
procedures before
reaching inside to make
server board connections
or install components.

Installing the I/O Shield and Attach I/O Labels

Install the I/O
shield

Attach the Labels to the I/O Shield

Shield installs from inside
of chassis. The labels

should be visible from the
outside of the chassis.

Prepare the I/O shield

Do not remove the three circular
knockouts that are at the edge next to
the openings for the NIC, USB, Serial A,
and 1394 ports. Use caution so you do

not deform the shield.

Insert one side edge of
shield as shown.

Push shield firmly into
chassis opening until
it clicks into place.

NOTE:

If you are using an Intel® Server Chassis you must install the chassis

bumpers included with the chassis. Refer to your Intel

®

Workstation Board

and Intel

®

Server Chassis Quick-Start User’s Guide for proper bumper
installation guidelines. If you are using a non-Intel server chassis that
includes bumpers, refer to the non-Intel server chassis documentation for
the correct bumper installation procedure. If the non-Intel server chassis
does not include bumpers, then you should consult with the chassis vendor
to determine whether bumpers are required or not.

B. Attach the Workstation Board

A. Insert Workstation Board

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

The Intel

®

Server Chassis SC5600Base and the Intel

®

Server Chassis SC5650WS use different screws

to attach the workstation board to the chassis. Use the screws indicated for your chassis.

For a non-Intel server chassis, use the fasteners that came with your chassis.

• When using the Intel

®

Server Chassis
SC5600Base, remove the rear chassis fan
and then insert the I/O connector
side (back) of the board first.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If you are using a
non-Intel server chassis, see your
chassis documentation for preparatory
steps prior to server board installation.
