Installing the I/O Shield
The motherboard kit comes with an I/O shield that is used to block internal
components from dust and foreign objects, while also promoting correct
airflow within the chassis.
Before installing the motherboard, install the I/O shield from the inside of the
chassis. Press the I/O shield into place and make sure it fits securely.
Installing the Motherboard
Installing the motherboard into a system case depends on several factors:
whether you are replacing an existing motherboard, whether you are building a
new PC, and the type of chassis that will house your PC components. You must
first determine if it would be easier to secure the motherboard to the chassis or
if it would be easier to install other components prior to this step. It is normally
easier to secure the motherboard first.
Note:
Make sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for your
installed DIMMs, expansion cards, and for the case side panels to lock into
place. Also, make sure the CPU fan assembly aligns with the vents on the
case side and back panels; correctly aligned, airflow will properly exhaust
from the chassis. The CPU fan assembly orientation will depend upon both
the CPU fan manufacturer's instructions and your chosen chassis.
