Step 16.

Check Alignment of the Motherboard with the Standoff Holes

Position the motherboard in the case so you can see the alignment of the mounting

holes in the motherboard with the standoffs. Verify that you can install the

motherboard in the case with the processor module on it. Some cases have power

supplies or other components that block the installation of the motherboard after the

processor module is installed.

Note: It is best to install the processor module in the motherboard before you install

the motherboard in the case. Unfortunately this is not possible with some cases.

If you can install your motherboard in the case with the processor module on it,

continue with the next step. Otherwise, install the motherboard in the case

before going to the next step.

When you are installing the processor module outside the case, use an anti-static

mat or other soft surface under the motherboard.
