Installing the I/O Shield and I/O Cover
The motherboard kit comes with an I/O shield that is used to block internal
components from dust and foreign objects, while also promoting correct
airflow within the chassis.
Before installing the motherboard, install the I/O shield from the inside of the
chassis. Press the I/O shield into place and make sure it fits securely.
The X299 MICRO also includes an I/O cover. This I/O cover adds a unique
appearance to the I/O area of the motherboard and is completely optional. If
you wish to use the cover, please place it over the I/O area and install the
chassis screws. These screws will secure the I/O cover to the motherboard.
Installing the Motherboard
Installing the motherboard into a system case depends on several factors:
wh
ether you are replacing an existing motherboard, whether you are building a
new PC, and the type of chassis that will house your PC components. You must
first determine if it would be easier to secure the motherboard to the chassis or
if it would be easier to install other components prior to this step. It is normally
easier to secure the motherboard first.
Note: Be sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for the system
case covers to lock into place and for expansion cards. Also, make sure the
CPU Fan assembly is aligned with the vents on the covers; this is to allow the
airflow to properly exhaust from the chassis. The CPU Fan assembly
orientation will depend on the system case being used.
