Install the I/O Shield

✏ NOTE

An ATX 2.03-compliant I /O shield is provided with the server board. The
shield is required by Elec t rom agnetic Interference (EMI) regulations to
minimizes EMI. If the shield does not fit the chassis, obtain a properly
sized shield from the chassis supplier.

The shield fits the rectangular openi ng near the power supply in the back of
the chassis. The shield has cutouts that match the I/O ports.

1 Install the EMI gasket on the I/O shield. Peel the paper strip off of the

adhesive on the EMI gasket. Place the gasket on the board side of the I/ O
shield (the side with the metal fingers). Make sure the holes in the EMI
gasket line up with the holes in the I/O shield.

2 Install the shield from inside the chassis. Orient the shield so that the

cutouts align with the corresponding I/ O connectors on the server board.
Make sure the metal fingers are on the inside of the chassis.

3 Position one edge so that the dotted groove is outside the chassis wall, and

the lip of the shield rests on the inner chassis wall.

4 Hold the shield in place, and push it into the opening until it is seated.

Make sure the I/O shield snaps into place all the way around.

Install the Retention Mechanisms

The retention mechanism assembly consists of two plastic retention
mechanisms that go on the top of the server board, two steel stiffeners that go
underneath the board, and two plastic insulators that go between the steel
stiffeners and the server board.

Install the retention mechanism on the server board before installing the board
in the chassis.

1 Lay one steel stiffener (D) down on your work surface. Place one plastic

insulator (C) on top of it. Position the server board (B) over the stiffener
and insulator so the screw holes in the server board, insulator, and the
stiffener line up.

Install the Server Board

The screws for installing the server board are shipped with the chassis. You
may need to move cables out of the way to properly install your server board.

1 Remove the top piece of foam epac from the system fans.
2 Tilt the board into the chassis I/O connector end first. Position the board

so the screw holes line up with the standoffs. There are two positioning
standoffs (D) that extend into the holes on the server board. These two
standoffs will help you position the board correctly. Make sure the I/O
connectors stick out through the I/O shield. Look through the holes in the
I/O shield to make sure that the metal tabs on the I/O shield are on top of
the USB and NIC connectors, not inside.

3 Insert one screw through one of the mounting hol es of the board and into a

threaded standoff. Do not tighten the screw until the next step.

4 Insert the remaining screws through the mounting holes and into the

threaded standoffs. Make sure the board is properly seated, then tight en all

Finish Setting up Your Chassis

You are now ready to install drives into your chassis. Start at the section titled:

®

“Install Diskette Drive” in the Intel

SC5000 Server Chassis Subassembly

Product Guide. We recommend you install any drives before connecting their

data cables to the server board. Connect the floppy cable to the server board
before you connect the IDE cable.

There is only one IDE connector on the SBT2 server board, you must route the
cable to either the top drive bays or the bottom drive bays. The cable is not
long enough to reach both. Connect the blue connector on the cable to the
server board. Pin one (the red stripe on the cable) is oriented the same as the
floppy connector. Since the IDE cable is not keyed, use the floppy cable as a
reference.

SBT2 Server Board Quick Start Guide 23

Common Problems

The system does not boot or show vid e o at power on.

• If configuring with only one processor verify that the processor is in the

Primary Processor slot and the termination card is in the Secondary
Processor slot. (See the server board components diagram on page 26).

• Beep code 1-3-3-1 means you have unrecognized or bad memory. Remove

DIMMs one at a time to isolat e which one is causing problems.

• Your power supply must provide 0.8 A of +5 V St andby current to support

WOL. If the standby current is not present, your board will not boot.

The reset button does not work.

• You may have installed the reset cable backwards. Turn of f your system,

open the chassis, unplug the reset cable from the server board, turn it
around, and plug it back in. Then close your system and turn it on.

The system sometimes works, but is exhibiting erratic behavior.

• This is typically the r esult of using a under-powered power supply. M a ke

sure it’s at least a 350 W power supply.
