Installing the I/O Shield

The boxed desktop board comes with an I/O shield. When installed in the chassis, the shield
blocks radio frequency transmissions, protects internal components from dust and foreign objects,
and promotes correct airflow within the chassis.
Install the I/O shield before installing the desktop board in the chassis. Place the shield inside the
chassis as shown in the following figure. Press the shield into place so that it fits tightly and
securely. If the shield doesn't fit, obtain a proper-sized shield from the chassis supplier.
