I/O Shield

The I/O shield holds the motherboard ports in place. Install the I/O shield before
installing the motherboard. If the motherboard you purchased did not include a
standard I/O shield, contact the motherboard vendor for a compatible shield.
Installing the I/O Shield
1. Review the documentation that came with your motherboard. Become familiar
with component placement, requirements, and precautions.
2. Power down the system as described in Section 5-2 and open the chassis
cover.
3. With the illustrations facing the outside of the chassis, place the shield into
the space provided at the rear of the chassis as illustrated above.
