2-4 Motherboard Installation
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to t different types of chassis.
Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both motherboard and
chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fas-
teners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the motherboard
to the chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly.
Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray.
Tools Needed
Philips Screwdriver
Standoffs
Philips Screws
Location of Mounting Holes
Caution: 1) To prevent damage to the motherboard and its components,
please do not use a force greater than 8 lb/inch on each mounting screw
during motherboard installation. 2) Some components are very close to the
mounting holes. Please take precautionary measures to avoid damaging
these components when installing the motherboard to the chassis.
