2 Installing and Replacing Desktop

Board Components

This chapter tells you how to:

• Install the I/O shield

• Install and remove the Desktop Board

• Install and remove a processor

• Install and remove system memory

• Connect to SATA drives

• Install a PCI Express Mini Card

• Connect to the internal headers and connectors

• Connect a system fan

• Connect a power supply

• Set the BIOS configuration jumper

• Clear passwords

• Replace the battery

Before You Begin

CAUTION

The procedures in this chapter assume familiarity with the general terminology

associated with personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory

compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment.

Disconnect the computer from its power source and from any telecommunications

links, networks, or modems before performing any of the procedures described in this

chapter. Failure to disconnect power, telecommunications links, networks, or modems

before you open the computer or perform any procedures can result in personal injury

or equipment damage. Some circuitry on the board can continue to operate even

though the front panel power button is off.

Follow these guidelines before you begin:

• Always follow the steps in each procedure in the correct order.

• Set up a log to record information about your computer, such as model, serial

numbers, installed options, and configuration information.

• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. Perform the procedures

described in this chapter only at an ESD workstation using an antistatic wrist strap

and a conductive foam pad. If such a station is not available, you can provide

some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a

metal part of the computer chassis.

Intel Desktop Board DH61AG Product Guide

16

Installation Precautions

When you install and test the Intel Desktop Board, observe all warnings and cautions

in the installation instructions.

To avoid injury, be careful of:

• Sharp pins on connectors

• Sharp pins on printed circuit assemblies

• Rough edges and sharp corners on the chassis

• Hot components (such as processors, voltage regulators, and heat sinks)

• Damage to wires that could cause a short circuit

Observe all warnings and cautions that instruct you to refer computer servicing to

qualified technical personnel.

Prevent Power Supply Overload

Do not overload the power supply output. To avoid overloading the power supply,

make sure that the calculated total current loads of all the modules within the

computer is less than the output current rating of each of the power supplies output

circuits plus enough headroom for desktop board power consumption.

Refer to Section 2.5.1, Power Supply Considerations, of the Intel Desktop Board

DH61AG Technical Product Specification for power budget analysis guidance.

Observe Safety and Regulatory Requirements

Read and follow the instructions in this section and the instructions supplied with the

chassis and associated modules. If you do not follow these instructions and the

instructions provided by the chassis and module suppliers, you increase your safety

risk and the possibility of noncompliance with regional laws and regulations. If the

instructions for the chassis are inconsistent with these instructions or the instructions

for associated modules, contact the supplier to find out how you can ensure that your

computer meets safety and regulatory requirements.

For information about the Desktop Board’s regulatory compliance, refer to Appendix B.

Installing and Replacing Desktop Board Components

Installing the I/O Shield

This Desktop Board comes with I/O shields. When installed in the chassis, the shield

blocks radio frequency transmissions, protects internal components from dust and

foreign objects, and promotes correct airflow within the chassis.

Select the proper I/O shield for the chassis you have chosen to use. Install the I/O

shield before installing the Desktop Board in the chassis. Place the shield inside the

chassis as shown in Figure 3. Press the shield into place so that it fits tightly and

securel

y. If the shield does not fit, obtain a properly sized shield from the chassis

supplier.

Installing and Removing the Desktop Board

CAUTION

Only qualified technical personnel should perform this procedure. Disconnect the

computer from its power source before performing the procedures described here.

Failure to disconnect the power before you open the computer can result in personal

injury or equipment damage.

Refer to your chassis manual for instructions on installing and removing the Desktop

Board.

Installing and Removing a Processor

Instructions on how to install the processor on the Desktop Board are given below.

Installing a Processor

CAUTION

Before installing or removing a processor, make sure the AC power has been removed

by unplugging the power cord from the computer. Failure to do so could damage the

processor and the board.

To install a processor, follow these instructions:

1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 15.

2. Unlatch the

processor socket lever by pushing it down and away from the socket

(Figure 5, A, B).

Figure 5. Unlatch the Socket Lever

Intel Desktop Board DH61AG Product Guide

20

3. Rotate the socket lever to lift the load plate away from the socket (Figure 6, A).

Make sure that the load plate is in the fully open position (Figure 6, B) while being

careful not

to damage adjacent components. Do not touch the socket contacts.

Figure 6. Lift the Load Plate

Installing and Replacing Desktop Board Components

4. Remove the processor from its protective cover. Hold the processor only at the

edges, being careful not to touch the bottom of the processor (see Figure 7).

NOTE

Do not discard the processor cover. Always replace the processor cover if you

remove the processor from the socket.

Figure 7. Remove the Processor from the Protective Cover

5. Hold the processor with your thumb and index finger oriented as shown in Figure 8

to align your fingers with the socket finger cutouts. Make sure that the processor

Pin 1 indicator (gold triangle) is aligned with the Pin 1 chamfer on the socket

(Figure 8, B) and that the notches on the processor align with the posts on the

socket (Figure 8, C). Lower the processor straight down without tilting or sliding it

in the socket (Figure 8, A).

Figure 8. Install the Processor

Intel Desktop Board DH61AG Product Guide

22

6. Carefully lower the socket lever (Figure 9, A) while making sure that the front edge

of the load plate slides under the shoulder screw cap as the lever is lowered. Latch

the socket lever under the load plate tab (Figure 9, C, D). The socket cover

(Figure 9, B) will pop off as shown.

Figure 9. Secure the Load Plate in Place

7. Pick up the socket cover and remove it from the desktop board.

NOTE

Do not discard the socket cover; save it for possible future use. Always replace

the socket cover if you remove the processor from the socket.
