Installing the Motherboard

Installing the I/O Shield

The shield encloses the I/O ports at the rear of the chassis. Install it before installing
the motherboard. The motherboard package should include a compatible shield.
Installing the I/O Shield
1. Open the chassis left side cover.
2. With the illustrations facing outward, place the shield into the space provided
at the rear of the chassis.

Motherboard Standoffs

Standoffs prevent short circuits by securing space between the motherboard and
the chassis surface. Three standoffs are pre-installed. Some motherboards require
additional standoffs. The chassis accessory box contains standoffs and rounded
Phillips head screws.
Compare the mounting holes in the motherboard to those in the chassis and add or
remove standoffs as needed. Secure the hexagonal standoff, rounded side up, by
screwing it into the mounting base of the chassis. Once all standoffs are in place,
you are ready to mount the motherboard.
