Tips on Installing Motherboard in Chassis Before installing your motherboard, make sure your chassis has the necessary motherboard support studs installed. These studs are usually metal and are gold in color. Usually, the chassis manufacturer will pre-install the support studs. If you are unsure of stud placement, simply lay the motherboard inside the chassis and align the screw holes of the motherboard to the studs inside the case.
Page 79
NOTE: Be especially careful to look for extra stand-offs. If there are any stand-offs present that are not aligned with a mounting hole on the motherboard, it will likely short components on the back of the motherboard when installed. This will cause malfunction and/or damage to your motherboard.
Connecting External Devices Connecting external devices to the motherboard is an easy task. The motherboard supports a number of different interfaces through connecting peripherals. See the following diagrams for the details. LAN (IPMI) Dedicate to BMC VGA Port LAN2 (IX550) LAN1(X550) NOTE: Peripheral devices can be plugged straight into any of these...
