Motherboard Installation

All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of chassis.
Make sure that the locations of all mounting holes for both motherboard and chassis
match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fasteners,
metal ones are recommended because they ground the motherboard to the chas-
sis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly. Then use
a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray.

Tools Needed

•
Phillips screwdriver
•
Panhead screws (11 pieces)
•
Standoffs (11 pieces, if needed)

Location of Mounting Holes

There are eleven (11) mounting holes on this motherboard as indicated by the
arrows.
Caution: 1) To avoid damaging the motherboard and its components, do not use a
force greater than 8 lb/inch on each mounting screw during motherboard installation.
2) Some components are very close to the mounting holes. Please use caution to
prevent damage to these components when installing the motherboard to the chassis.
