2.3 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 the motherboard and the chassis match.
Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fasteners, 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.

ary measures to avoid damaging these components when installing the motherboard
to the chassis.
