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.

Tools Needed

•
Phillips Screwdriver
•
Pan head screws (14 pieces)
•
Standoffs (14 pieces, if needed)

precautionary measures to prevent damage to these components when installing the
motherboard to the chassis.
