Hardware Setup Motherboard Place and tighten three captive nuts in the corner locations as circled. Motherboard Screws Place eight screws in the areas circled on the motherboard. The four screws used with the motherboard spacers are longer than the others. (See page 20 for samples. ) Be careful not to overtighten the screws. Doing so may damage your motherboard. 18 AP8000 Hardware Reference Guide IV. Hardware Setup CD-ROM Drive Cable Floppy Disk Drive Cable 68-pin SCSI Cable Power SW HDD LED Power LED Chassis Intrusion Connector Cable Device Cables Several cables are used for connecting devices in this chassis. The following picture points out the name of each cable and its suggested location. Plastic keepers protect the cables from contacting with the fans and other devices. Make sure that all cables are properly secured. Hardware Setup CD-ROM Drive Cable Floppy Disk Drive Cable 68-pin SCSI Cable Cable Connections The cables connect to the motherboard as shown. The motherboard includes onboard SCSI with 68-pin and 50-pin SCSI connectors. RAID connections require an optional RAID card. AP8000 Hardware Reference Guide 19 Motherboard IV. Central Processing Unit (CPU) This server supports two processors which requires one retention mechanism for each processor. Before installing the CPU, secure the motherboard on the rubber pad and metal baseboard. (See page 18. ) When only one processor is used, the other Slot 2 connector must be terminated with the provided front side bus termination module. Captive Nut Long Screw (aligned with spacers) Short Screw Install Retention Mechanisms Two Dots One Dot The retention mechanism parts have a left and a right side. The left side has a single dot and the right side has two dots (when holding the motherboard with the ATX connectors to the left). Place the retention mechanisms' holes over the screws and the Slot2. Screw four captive nuts onto the inner screws (3 circled in the picture). Do not place the other captive nuts yet. IV. Hardware Setup CPU Install Retention Mechanism Brace Bars Place the retention mechanism brace bar into the groove on the top of the retention mechanism as shown. Retention Mechanism Brace Bar 20 AP8000 Hardware Reference Guide IV. Hardware Setup Install Cartridge Lifters Each Xeon processor requires two lifters in order to allow safe removal of the processor. The lifters clamp onto the top holes on the cartridge corners. [. . . ] IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) IDE devices integrate the drive control circuitry directly on the drive itself, eliminating the need for a separate adapter card (in the case for SCSI devices). UltraDMA/33 IDE devices can achieve up to 33MB/Sec transfer. LPT Port (Line Printer Port) Logical device name reserved by DOS for computer parallel ports. Each LPT port is configured to use a different IRQ and address assignment. V. [. . . ]
