EVGA H370 Stinger (111-CS-E371)
Securing the Motherboard into a System Case
Most system cases require installation of standoffs into the chassis to allow the
motherboard to be mounted to the chassis and prevent short circuits. If there are
any studs that do not align with a motherboard mounting hole, we recommend that
you remove that standoff to prevent the possibility of a short circuit. Furthermore,
ensure that all standoffs are fully tightened prior to mounting the motherboard to
the chassis. Please review the installation manual included with your chassis for the
proper installation of the motherboard standoffs.
1. Carefully place the motherboard onto the standoffs located inside the
chassis.
2. Align the mounting holes with the standoffs.
3. Align the connectors to the I/O shield.
4. Ensure that the fan assembly aligns with the chassis vents according to the
fan assembly instruction.
5. Secure the motherboard with four (4) screws (See next page for mount hole
location). Ensure that each screw is lined up with and fastened to its
corresponding standoff under the board. Double-check alignment to make
sure nothing gets cross-threaded.
Tip: If you have difficulty fastening some of the screws, especially near the
I/O hub, first try to loosely fasten all other screws on the motherboard, but
don't completely tighten the screws. This may help to hold the board in
place, allowing you to thread and fasten the remaining screws. Once all
screws are properly threaded, remember to go back and tighten the rest of
the screws.
6. See the picture below for a zoomed-in view of a hole to place over a
standoff, as well as the locations of standoff holes for the H370 Stinger.
