Installing the I/O Shield 
The Desktop Board comes with an I/O shield. 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. 
Install the I/O shield before installing the Desktop Board in the chassis. Place the 
shield inside the chassis as shown in Figure 5. Press the shield into place so that it fits 
t
i
ghtly and securely. If the shield does not fit, obtain a properly sized shield from the 
chassis supplier.
