SC510 Chassis Manual 4-4 Installing the Motherboard Figure 4-4: Installing the Motherboard Permanent and Optional Standoffs Standoffs prevent short circuits by securing space between the motherboard and the chassis surface. The SC510T chassis includes permanent and removable standoffs on the chassis floor. These standoffs accept the rounded Phillips head screws included in the SC510T accessories packaging. Remove the standoffs based on the positions of the mounting holes of the motherboard being used.
Chapter 4: Chassis Setup and Maintenance Installing the Motherboard Motherboard Installation 1. Review the documentation that came with your motherboard. Become familiar with component placement, requirements, precautions, and cable connections. 2. Open the chassis cover. 3. Remove any standoffs which must be taken out in order to fit the motherboard (see previous page). 4. Lay the motherboard on the chassis aligning the permanent and optional standoffs 5.
SC510 Chassis Manual Add-on Card/Expansion Slot Setup SC510T chassis includes an I/O slot for an optional add-on card. A low-profile, halflength PCI add-on card is supported. A riser card is required in order to adapt the add-on card to the 1U chassis. For further information on add-on cards and risers cards, refer to the Supermicro Website at www.supermicro.com Add-on Card Clip Figure 4-5: Locating the Add-on Card Clip Installing Add-on Cards: 1. Locate the add-on card clip on the back of the chassis 2.
Chapter 4: Chassis Setup and Maintenance 5. Insert the assembled add-on card and riser card into the expansion slot inside the chassis, carefully aligning the plate of the add-on card with the openings in the back of the chassis. 6. Replace the add-on card clip and screw it onto the chassis to hold the add-on card in place.
SC510 Chassis Manual 4-5 Replacing the Heatsink The SC510T chassis requires a heatsink, which conducts heat away from the motherboard. Replacing the Heatsink 1. Unplug all power leading to the chassis. 2. Remove the 4 mounting screws which attach the heatsink to the motherboard and set them aside for later use. 3. Carefully lift the heatsink from the motherboard. 4. Align the holes of the replacement heatsink with the mounting thru holes in the motherboard 5.
Chapter 4: Chassis Setup and Maintenance 4-6 Installing the Air Shroud Figure 4-9: Installing the Air Shroud Air shrouds concentrate airflow to maximize fan efficiency. The SC510T chassis air shroud does not require screws to set up. Use the air shroud included with your chassis, unless an active heatsink is being used. If an active heatsink is being used, no air shroud is required. Installing the Air Shroud 1. Place the air shroud in the chassis. The air shroud fits behind the set of dual fans. 2.
SC510 Chassis Manual Checking the Server's Air Flow Checking the Air Flow 1. Make sure there are no objects to obstruct airflow in and out of the server. 2. Use only recommended server parts. 3.
