Mounting The Motherboard In The Chassis - TYAN THUNDER I840 User Manual

2.7 Mounting the Motherboard into the Chassis
Your chassis may or may not include mounting hardware. If mounting hardware was included, you can
use the following examples to help you in installing your motherboard into the chassis.
The chassis may have come with the studs integrated into the chassis wall, so in those cases you would
only need to use screws (possibly included with your chassis) to install the motherboard. See the exam-
ples (Figure 2.0, shown below) for more details.
If the chassis includes mounting hardware without the studs pre-installed, then you will need to install the
motherboard using the mounting hardware as shown in the examples below. Remember not to over-
tighten any of the screws, or you might risk breaking internal traces in the surrounding area, or damage
the motherboard in some other way.
Other examples of how to install your motherboard using other hardware (that may or may not have been
included with your chassis) are shown below.
