Step 5 Install the Motherboard

The motherboard mounting hole pattern is the same as the mounting hole pattern on the standard mini Baby
AT motherboard. Standoffs and mounting screws are not supplied with the motherboard. The chassis
manufacturer should supply these parts.

Action
Place the chassis on an anti-static mat. Connect the chassis to
ground to avoid static damage during installation. Connect an
alligator clip with a wire lead to any unpainted part of the chassis.
Ground the other end of the lead at the same point as the mat and
the wristband.
Rotate the chassis so that the front is to the right, and the rear is
to the left. The side facing you is where the motherboard is
mounted. The power supply is mounted at the far end of the
chassis.
Hold the motherboard, component-side up, with the edge with the
SIMM sockets toward you and the edge with the power supply
connector away from you. The keyboard, mouse, and video
connectors should be to the left.
Carefully slide the motherboard into the chassis. Make certain that
the edge connectors fit the ports in the rear of the chassis. The
motherboard should rest level with the chassis.
Place the mounting screws in the holes provided for them and
tighten them. If necessary, shift the motherboard slightly to align
the mounting holes on the motherboard with the holes on the
chassis. See the drawing on the next page.
Warning
If using metallic screws, make sure that you use them
only in the plated mounting holes.
If using metallic screws, make sure that the head of the
screw fits completely inside the plated mounting holes.
