Step 5 Mount The Mainboard On The Computer Chassis - Shuttle FN25 User Manual

Step 5
Mount the Mainboard on the Computer Chassis
1. You may find that there are a lot of different mounting hole positions both on
your computer chassis and on the mainboard. To choose correct mounting
holes, the key point is to keep the back-panel of the mainboard in a close fit
with your system case, as shown below.
2. After deciding on the proper mounting holes, position the studs between the
frame of the chassis and the mainboard.
The studs are used to fix the mainboard and to keep a certain distance be-
tween the system chassis and the mainboard, in order to avoid any electrical
shorts between the board and the metal frame of the chassis. (If your com-
puter case is already equipped with mounting studs, you will need to tighten
screws to attach the mainboard.)
Note : In most computer housings, you will be able to find 4 or more
attachment points to install mounting studs and then fix the main-
board. If there aren't enough matching holes, then make sure to
install at least 4 mounting studs to ensure proper attachment of
the mainboard.
