Motherboard installation

The A7V8X-MX uses the Micro ATX form factor, measuring 24.5 cm (9.6 in.) x 24.5
cm (9.6 in.) - a standard fit for most large chassis.
WARNING! Unplug the power cord before installing the motherboard. Failure to
do so may cause you physical injury and damage Motherboard components.

1.6.1 Placement direction

When installing the motherboard, take care to orient the chassis correctly: The
edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis. Refer to the image

components before fixing the motherboard inside the case frame.

1.6.2 Screw holes

Place eight (8) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the
motherboard to the chassis.
Do not overtighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.
