There are many types of computer cases on the market. The
mainboard complies with the specifications for the ATX sys-
tem case. Some features on the mainboard are implemented
by cabling connectors on the mainboard to indicators and
switches on the system case. Ensure that your case supports
all the features required. The mainboard can support one or
two floppy diskette drives and four enhanced IDE drives. En-
sure that your case has sufficient power and space for all the
drives that you intend to install.
Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel.
Make sure that the I/O template in the case matches the I/O
ports installed on the rear edge of the mainboard.
This mainboard has an ATX form factor of 220 x 304 mm.
Choose a case that accommodates this form factor.
This concludes Chapter 1. Chapter 2 explains how to install
the mainboard.
