Securing the Motherboard into a System Case

Please review the installation manual included with your chassis. These instructions
should direct you to install standoff screws to mount the motherboard to prevent
grounding, and align the board with the rear I/O opening in the chassis. Ensure that
all standoffs are fully tightened prior to mounting the motherboard.
1. Carefully lower the motherboard onto the standoffs located inside the
chassis.
2. Align the motherboard mounting holes with the standoffs.
3. Make sure the pre-installed I/O plate seats within the rear opening of the
chassis, and remains on the inside of the chassis.
4. (Optional) If using a CPU air cooler, ensure that the fan assembly aligns
with the chassis vents per the manufacturer's instructions.
5. Secure the motherboard with nine (9) screws (See next page for mounting
hole locations). Ensure that each screw is lined up with and fastened to its
corresponding standoff under the board. Double-check alignment while
fastening to avoid stripping the screws.
Tip: If you have difficulty fastening some of the screws, especially near the
I/O opening, unfasten all screws so that they are loose, but still in-place.
This will hold the board in place as you properly align each screw. Once all
screws are properly threaded, remember to go back and fasten the rest of
the screws.
6. See the picture on the next page for the locations of the mounting holes for
the Z790 DARK K|NGP|N.
