2.2 Motherboard Installation
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of chassis. Make sure that
the locations of all the mounting holes for both the motherboard and the chassis match.
Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fasteners, 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.
Tools Needed
Figure 2-1. Torque Driver (1), Phillips Screws (9), Standoffs (9, only if needed)
Notes:
l
To avoid damaging the motherboard and its components, do not use a force greater
than 8 lbf-in on each mounting screw during motherboard installation.
l
Some components are very close to the mounting holes. Take precautionary
measures to avoid damaging these components when installing the motherboard to
the chassis.
Installing the Motherboard
1. Install the I/O shield into the back of the chassis, if applicable.
