2-2 Motherboard Installation
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to t different types of chassis.
Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both motherboard and
chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fas-
teners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the motherboard
to the chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly.
Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray.
Caution: Some components are very close to the mounting holes. Please
take precautionary measures to prevent damage to these components
when installing the motherboard to the chassis.
Tools Needed
Philips Screwdriver
Pan head screws (4-6 pieces)
