Chapter.3 Motherboard & Leads Installation
3-1 Motherboard Installation
Each motherboard has different standoff layout. It is highly suggested
that you refer to your motherboard's manual when installing
motherboard into the Case. The cases are applicable with Standard ATX,
Micro ATX motherboards. Your motherboard may require a special I/O
Panel, which should be included with your motherboard.
Placement Direction:
When installing the motherboard, make sure you follow the direction
provided by your motherboard manufacturer. On most standard
motherboards, the edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the
chassis. It is highly recommended that you install CPU, heat sink and
modular components before fixing the motherboard inside the chassis.
Note
Due to the variety of motherboards on the market, the majority of the
motherboards come with their own I/O plates. It s necessary for you
to remove the fan holder before install the I/O plates.
