Chapter 2
Board Installation
First Install the motherboard into your case.
Make sure that your case/chassis is compatible with Intel's MarlinSpike
MS440GX Slot 2 chassis! Four bolts on the chassis should fit through the
motherboard holes located near the CPU slots (see Figure 2-7 below). Follow
the instructions provided by the case manufacturer for proper installation
guidelines. TYAN recommends that you use only one screw to hold down the
motherboard. The rest of the mounting holes should be used for the plastic
standoffs. If your case does not have a hole for a standoff, simply cut off the
bottom of the plastic standoff so that the flat portion rests on the metal. The
adapter cards and the screws holding them down will keep your board flat. The
fastening screw should not short any of the traces on the motherboard. Make
certain that you do not overtighten the screw, as it will damage the mother-
board and possibly break internal traces in the surrounding area. The hole you
should use is located at the top-center of the board where the adapter cards
are fastened to the case.
