2.3 Motherboard Installation

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

Location of Mounting Holes

Note 1: To avoid damaging the motherboard and its components, do not use a
force greater than 8 lbf-in on each mounting screw during motherboard installation.
Note 2: Some components are very close to the mounting holes. Take precautionary
measures to avoid damaging these components when installing the motherboard to
the chassis.
