EPIA-M860 User Manual
5. Hardware Installation
5.1. Installing into a Chassis
The EPIA-M860 can be fitted into any chassis that has the mounting holes compatible with the standard Mini-ITX
mounting hole locations. Additionally, the chassis must meet the minimum height requirements for specified areas of
the mainboard.
If a riser card module is being used, the chassis will need to accommodate the additional space requirements.
5.1.1. Suggested minimum chassis dimensions
The figure below shows the suggested minimum space requirements that a chassis should have in order to work well
with the EPIA-M860.
Figure 40: Suggested minimum chassis dimensions
Each side of the mainboard should have a buffer zone from the internal wall of the chassis. The side of the mainboard
that accommodates the I/O coastline should have a buffer of 1.00 mm. The side on the opposite end of the I/O
coastline should have a buffer of at least 5.00 mm. The two sides adjacent to the I/O coastline should have at least a
10.00 mm buffer.
For the side that is close to the PCI slot, the buffer should be at least 100.00 mm if a riser card module will be used.
