3.3 – Mounting the Motherboard
Before installing your motherboard, make sure your chassis has the necessary motherboard
support studs installed. These studs are usually metal and are in gold or silver color. Usually, the
chassis manufacturer will pre-install the support studs. Remove the unused or additional studs,
which may scratch the motherboard or cause short - circuit with the components on the bottom
side. If you're unsure of stud placement, simply lay the motherboard inside the chassis and align
the screw holes of the motherboard to the studs inside the case. If there are any studs missing,
you will know right away since the motherboard will not be able to be securely installed. Some
chassis' include plastic studs instead of metal.
recommends using metal studs with screws that will fasten the motherboard more securely in
place.
