2.4.4 <Complete the system installation>
After installing the CPU, CPU cooler and the memory module, please slot the main board
into PICMG slot of the backplane carefully. If you connect an ATX power supply with the
backplane, you will need to connect an ATX function cable between the main board and the
backplane. PICMG Bus Slot
Notice:
TheATX function connector
may have different types on
different backplanes, please
check the pin assignment
for the connector on the
backplane before you install
the ATX function cable.
