The big thing I am showing in this picture is my torque cordless screwdriver.  Generally when installing any mainboard into a chassis I set it for about half way.  This gives a snug to the screws without overtightening. Copy of P1010178.jpg (31301 bytes)
Now we install the 24 pin Power connector and the auxiliary power connector.  Note the special power requirements preclude the STL2 from being installed into just any chassis. You must have the right kind of power connectors. Copy of P1010179.jpg (19696 bytes)
My exacto knife is pointing at the add on speaker (chirper). Follow the blue wire to the motherboard connector. It only fits on one way (easily that is). Copy of P1010180.jpg (18914 bytes)
In this picture we have installed the front panel control cable and just to make it confusing for us, we must make sure we use the version that comes with the STL2 Server Board and NOT the one that comes with the SR2100 chassis. The cable does seem to care which end is plugged into the server board and this is clearly marked on the cable.  Also once we were finished we ran into a related problem with the fault light blinking moronically at us.  Intel has released a technical advisory about this.  TA-0306-3 Copy of P1010181.jpg (17484 bytes)
Here my exacto pointer is showing the other end of the front panel control cable plugged into the actual front panel electronics.  Note the empty connector above it can be ignored. Copy of P1010182.jpg (14510 bytes)
