This board deflection metric provides guidance for mechanical designs that differ from
the reference design for ATX//µATX form factor.
A.2.2 Motherboard Deflection Metric Definition
Motherboard deflection is measured along either diagonal (refer to Figure 18):
d = dmax - (d1 + d2)/2
d' = dmax - (d'1 + d'2)/2
Configurations in which the deflection is measured are defined in the Table 2 below.
To measure board deflection, follow industry standard procedures (such as IPC) for
board deflection measurement. Height gauges and possibly dial gauges may also be
used.
