with component placement, requirements, and precautions.

2. Power down the system and remove the power cords from the rear of the

power supply. Open the chassis cover as described in Section 5-3.

Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance

Standoffs prevent short circuits by securing space between the motherboard and

the chassis surface. The SC825 chassis includes permanent standoffs in locations

used by most motherboards. These standoffs accept the rounded Phillips head

screws included in the SC825 accessories packaging.

Some motherboards require additional screws for heatsinks, general components

and/or non-standard security. Optional standoffs are included to these mother-

boards. To use an optional standoff, you must place the hexagonal screw through

the bottom the chassis and secure the screw with the hexagon nut (rounded side

up).
