Permanent and Optional Standoffs

Standoffs prevent short circuits by creating space between the motherboard and the
chassis surface. The SC227 chassis includes permanent and removable standoffs
in locations used by default motherboards. These standoffs can be removed with
a wrench and are included in the accessories package.
Some motherboards require additional screws for heatsinks, general components
or non-standard security. Optional standoffs are included for these motherboards.
To use an optional standoff, place the hexagonal nut with the rounded side up, in
the holes provided on the floor of the chassis.
