Chapter 5

Advanced Serverboard Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install processors and heatsinks to

the PDSMU serverboard, connect the data and power cables and install add-on

cards. All serverboard jumpers and connections are described and a layout and

quick reference chart are included in this chapter. Remember to close the chas-

sis completely when you have ﬁ nished working on the serverboard to protect and

cool the system sufﬁ ciently.

5-1 Handling the Serverboard

Static electrical discharge can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent dam-

age to printed circuit boards, it is important to handle them very carefully (see

Chapter 4). Also note that the size and weight of the serverboard can cause

it to bend if handled improperly, which may result in damage. To prevent the

serverboard from bending, keep one hand under the center of the board to sup-

port it when handling. The following measures are generally sufﬁ cient to protect

your equipment from static discharge.

Precautions

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic

bag.

• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,

memory modules or gold contacts.

• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

• Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic

bags when not in use.

Unpacking

The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When

unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.
