Motherboard Installation

All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of chassis.
Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both motherboard and
chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fas-
teners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the motherboard
to the chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly.
Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray.

Caution: 1) To avoid damaging the motherboard and its components, please do
not use a force greater than 8 lb/inch on each mounting screw during motherboard
installation. 2) Some components are very close to the mounting holes. Please take
precautionary measures to avoid damaging these components when installing the
motherboard to the chassis.
