Intel C50277-001 User Manual

Intel® Entry Server Chassis SC5275-E User Guide 

 

You may want to install an operating system before installing any add-in boards.  If so, skip this 
step and return to it when you are ready.   

Do not overload the server board by installing add-in boards that draw 
excessive current. 

Add-in boards can be extremely sensitive to ESD and always require careful 
handling.  After removing the board from its protective wrapper or from the 
server board, place it component side up on a grounded, static free surface or 
conductive foam pad if available.  Do not slide the board over any surface. 

 

1.  Remove the screw for the expansion slot. 
2.  Remove and save the expansion slot cover in case you later remove the add-in card. 
3.  Remove the add-in board from its protective wrapper.  Be careful not to touch the components 

or gold edge connectors.  Place board on an antistatic surface. 

4.  Record the type and serial number of the add-in board in your equipment log. 
5.  Set jumpers or switches according to the manufacturer’s instructions. 
6.  Hold board by its top edge or upper corners.  Firmly press it into an expansion slot on the 

server board.  The end of a full-length expansion card must slide into the plastic card guide slot 
at the front of the chassis and the tapered foot on the expansion card bracket must fit into the 
slot in the retention slot frame. 

7.  Align the rounded notch in the retaining bracket of the expansion card with the threaded hole in 

the frame.  The bracket fits the space that was occupied by the slot cover. 

8.  Use the screw removed earlier.  Insert it into the threaded hole, and tighten it firmly.  Attach 

cables if necessary.

When removing a full-length add-in card, you must pull back on the latch on 
the plastic card guide at the front of the chassis to release the card from the 
card guide.
