All motherboards have standard mounting
holes to fi t different types of chassis. Make
sure that the locations of all the mounting
holes for both motherboard and chassis
match. 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.
2. Locate the front side of the chassis.
3. Locate the four backplate mounting
holes on the chassis.
4. Align the backplate with the chassis.
Make sure that the arrow on the back-
plate is pointing at the front side of the
chassis.
5. Once the backplate is correctly orient-
ed, align the four heatsink mounting holes
on the backplate against their respective
mounting holes on the chassis. (*Note:
The two mounting holes on the center of
the backplate are optional.)
6. Once aligned, securely attach the
backplate onto the chassis by installing
the screws into the mounting holes.

Note: some components are very close to the mounting holes. Please take
precautionary measures to prevent any damage done to these components when
you install the motherboard onto the chassis.
