Installing the Motherboard

1. Locate the mounting holes on the motherboard. See the previous page for the location.
2. Install standoffs in the chassis.
3. Install the memory. Follow section 2.3 - Memory Support and Installation
4. After the memory installation is complete, install the heatsink.
5. The thermal solution kit that comes with the motherboard includes one heatsink with
thermal grease and four copper standoffs that are 19mm in height. The copper standoff
type is determined by the customer's chassis design. The copper standoffs that are
19mm in height are recommended only.
6. To install the heatsink, remove the plastic cover on the bottom of the heatsink to expose
the thermal grease. Then place the heatsink directly on the CPU and make sure the
thermal grease is in contact with the CPU.
7. Turn the motherboard over and tighten the standoffs on the chassis with the
corresponding screws by using the Phillips screwdriver. Install the motherboard into the
chassis carefully to avoid damaging other motherboard components.
8. Make sure that the motherboard is securely placed in the chassis.
