Securing the Motherboard into a System Case
Most system cases have a base with mounting studs or spacers to allow the
motherboard to be secured to the chassis and help to prevent short circuits. If there
are studs that do not align with a mounting hole on the motherboard, it is
recommended that you remove that stud to prevent the possibility of a short circuit.
Carefully place the motherboard onto the stand offs located inside the
chassis.
Align the mounting holes with the stand offs.
Align the connectors to the I/O shield.
Ensure that the fan assembly is aligned with the chassis vents according to
the fan assembly instruction.
Secure the motherboard with a recommended minimum of nine (9) screws.
