Installing the Motherboard in a System Housing
This section explains the basic requirements for install-
ing this motherboard in a system housing or “chassis”.
Since housing designs vary widely, you will need to con-
sult the housing documentation for specific information.
This motherboard can be installed in an EEB 3.0-compli-
ant housing that is specific to the board’s CPU layout.
Other housings must support the extended ATX form fac-
tor, which is larger than other ATX form factors.
To install the motherboard in a system housing you will
need to do the following:
• Install a rear I/O panel shield
• Attach the board to the housing
• Connect leads from the housing’s front panel
You can then connect other internal system components
as described later in this chapter.
Motherboard Installation Procedure
This section assumes you are installing the board in a
non-EEB 3.0 housing and will use the supplied CPU
backplates to mount the heatsink retention mechanisms.
If you are installing the board in an EEB 3.0 chassis, please
see the EEB 3.0 section later in this chapter.
We also assume you have prepared the board for instal-
lation as previously described in this manual. If the hous-
ing you are using normally stands vertically, place the
open housing on it’s side before you start.
Please follow this procedure to install this motherboard:
1. Review any instructions that came with the system
housing and prepare the necessary mounting hard-
ware that came with it.
2. Identify the mounting holes on the board and con-
firm that the housing has standoffs that match them.
3. Install the rear I/O panel shield in the housing’s I/O
panel opening.
4. Insert the board in the housing and align the mount-
ing holes to the standoffs on the housing’s
motherboard mounting plate. Make sure all of the
rear I/O ports are properly aligned with the open-
ings in the I/O panel shield.
5. Attach the board to the housing by inserting mount-
ing screws in all the holes and tightening them
snugly.
