Installing the Motherboard
Permanent and Optional Standoffs
Standoffs prevent short circuits by creating space between the motherboard and the
chassis surface. The SC119 chassis includes permanent standoffs in locations used
by most motherboards. These standoffs accept the rounded Phillips head screws
included in the SC119 accessories packaging.
Some motherboards require additional screws to secure heatsinks, general com-
ponents and/or non-standard components. Optional standoffs are included for
these motherboards. To use an optional standoff, you must place the hexagonal
screw through the bottom the chassis and secure the screw with the hexagon nut
(rounded side up).
