Preface
i
ii
Before getting started, please read the following important cautions:
All cautions and warnings on the equipment or in the manuals should be noted.
Most electronic components are sensitive to electrical static discharge. Therefore, be
sure to ground yourself at all times when installing the internal components.
Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in static-shielded
devices. Grounding wrist straps can be purchased in any electronic supply store.
Be sure to turn off the power and then disconnect the power cords from your system
before performing any installation or servicing. A sudden surge of power could
damage sensitive electronic components.
Do not open the system’s top cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must,
only a trained technician should do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are
sensitive to static electricity. Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch
an unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to
discharge any static electricity on your body.
Place this equipment on a stable surface when install. A drop or fall could cause injury.
Please keep this equipment away from humidity.
Carefully mount the equipment into the rack, in such manner, that it won’t be
hazardous due to uneven mechanical loading.
This equipment is to be installed for operation in an environment with maximum
ambient temperature below 35°C.
The openings on the enclosure are for air convection to protect the equipment from
overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.
Never pour any liquid into ventilation openings. This could cause fire or electrical
shock.
Make sure the voltage of the power source is within the specification on the label
when connecting the equipment to the power outlet. The current load and output
power of loads shall be within the specification.
This equipment must be connected to reliable grounding before using. Pay special
attention to power supplied other than direct connections, e.g. using of power strips.
Place the power cord out of the way of foot traffic. Do not place anything over the
power cord. The power cord must be rated for the product, voltage and current marked
on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cord
should be greater than the voltage and current rating marked on the product.
If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect the equipment from mains to
avoid being damaged by transient over-voltage.
Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, only qualified service personnel should
open the equipment.
Safety Instructions
iii
If one of the following situations arise, the equipment should be checked by service
personnel:
1. The power cord or plug is damaged.
2. Liquid has penetrated the equipment.
3. The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
4. The equipment does not work well or will not work according to its user manual.
5. The equipment has been dropped and/or damaged.
6. The equipment has obvious signs of breakage.
7. Please disconnect this equipment from the AC outlet before cleaning. Do not
use liquid or detergent for cleaning. The use of a moisture sheet or cloth is
recommended for cleaning.
Module and drive bays must not be empty! They must have a dummy cover.

-processor socket with captive fasteners. Use a #2 Phillips* screwdriver
to loosen the screws x 4 located on the heatsink corners diagonally using
the following procedure (1a) to (1b).
(1a) Use a #2 Phillips* screwdriver and start with screw 1 and loosen it
by giving it two rotations and stop (see letter A).
CAUTION
Do not full loosen.
(1b) Proceed to screw 2 and loosen it by giving it two rotations and
stop (see letter B). Similarly, loosen screws 3 and 4. Repeat steps A and
B by giving each screw two rotations each time until all the screws are
loosened.
(1c) Lift the heatsink upward (see letter C).

2�1�2 Installing the processor
CAUTION
Processor must be appropriate: you may damage the server board if you install a
processor that is inappropriate for your server.
CAUTION
ESD and handling processors: reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage
to the processor by doing the following:
(1) Touch the metal chassis before touching the processor or server board. Keep part
of your body in contact with the metal chassis to dissipate the static charge while
handling the processor.
(2) Avoid moving around unnecessarily.

Chapter 2. Hardware SetupSB101-LB User Manual
Step 1 Remove the processor from its package by following procedures (1a) to
(1b).
(1a) Carefully remove the protective cover from the backside of the
CPU. Take care not to touch any CPU contacts (see letter A).
(1b) Orient the processor with the socket so that the processor cutouts
match the four orientation posts on the socket (see letter B). Verify
the location of a gold key at the corner of the processor (see letter C).
Carefully place (Do NOT drop) the CPU into the socket.
CAUTION
The pins inside the CPU socket are extremely sensitive other than the CPU. No object
should make contact with the pins inside the CPU socket. A damaged CPU socket pin
may render the socket inoperable and will produce erroneous CPU or other system
errors if used.
CAUTION
The underside of the processor has components that may damage the socket pins if
installed improperly. The processor must align correctly with the socket opening before
installation. Do not drop the processor into the socket.
CAUTION
When possible, a CPU insertion tool shoule be used when installing the CPU.

Step 2 Remove the socket cover from the load plate.
NOTE
The socket cover should be saved and re-used should the processor need to be
removed at any time in the furture.
Step 3 Close the load plate.
Step 4 Secure the Load Plate.
(4a) Push downward on the locking lever on the CLOSE 1st side (see letter A).
Slide the tip of the lever under the notch in the load plate (see letter B).
Make sure the load plate tab engages under the socket lever when fully
closed.
(4b) Repeat the steps to latch the locking lever on the other side (see letter C).
Latch the levers in the order as demonstrated.
Save the
