Permanent and Optional Standoffs

Standoffs prevent short circuits by creating space between the motherboard and
the fl oor of the node. The F414IS chassis includes permanent standoffs in locations
used by most motherboards. These standoffs use the rounded Phillips head screws
included in the F414IS accessories packaging.
Some motherboards require additional screws for heatsinks, general components
and/or non-standard security. Optional standoffs are used for these motherboards.
To use an optional standoff, compare the mounting holes in the motherboard with
those in the fl oor of the motherboard node. Then place a screw through the bottom
the node and secure the screw with a hexagonal nut (rounded side up).
Depending upon the confi guration of the motherboard being used, it is also possible
that some of the optional standoffs which are pre-installed in the chassis, may need
to be removed. Add or remove standoffs as needed.
