Then apply new thermal grease before reinstalling the heatsink. Figure 13. Apply Thermal Grease 2.3.2 Thermal Interface Material Figure 14.
2.3.3 Tips on Installing Motherboard in Chassis Before installing the motherboard, verify that your chassis is equipped with the appropriate support studs. These studs are generally metal and may have a gold finish. Most chassis manufacturers pre-install these support studs. To ensure correct placement, position the motherboard inside the chassis and align the motherboard's holes with the studs.
Some chassis include plastic studs instead of metal. Although the plastic studs are usable, MiTAC recommends using metal studs with screws that will fasten the motherboard more securely in place. Below is a chart detailing what the most common motherboard studs look like and how they should be installed.
2.4 Installing the Memory Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard ® and processor. Check the MiTAC Website at https://www.mitaccomputing.com/ for details of the type of memory recommended for your motherboard. J3502 USB 3.0...
