Step 16. Check Alignment of the Motherboard with the Standoff Holes
Position the motherboard in the case so you can see the alignment of the mounting
holes in the motherboard with the standoffs. Verify that you can install the
motherboard in the case with the processor module on it. Some cases have power
supplies or other components that block the installation of the motherboard after the
processor module is installed.
Note: It is best to install the processor module in the motherboard before you install
the motherboard in the case. Unfortunately this is not possible with some cases.
If you can install your motherboard in the case with the processor module on it,
continue with the next step. Otherwise, install the motherboard in the case
before going to the next step.
When you are installing the processor module outside the case, use an anti-static
mat or other soft surface under the motherboard.
