Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis

All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of

chassis. Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both the

motherboard and the chassis match. Although a chassis may have both

plastic and metal mounting fasteners, 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 and then, use a screw-

driver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray. Note: Some

components are very close to the mounting holes. Make sure to take all

precautionary measures to prevent any damage done to these components

when you install the motherboard into the chassis.
