2.2
Installing Motherboard
Most computer bases have many fixing holes to allow the mainboard to attached securely,
and will not short. There are two ways to attach the mainboard:
(1) Using studs
(2) Using spacers
Usually, the best way to attach the board is using
studs. When you are unable to use studs, spacers can
attach the board also. Please check the board
carefully, you will find there are many fixing holes,
line up these holes with your computer base. If holes
can line up and there are screw holes, means you can
attach the board with studs. If all holes line up and
there are only slots, means you can only attach with
spacers. Take the tip of the spacers and insert them
into the slots. After doing this, slide the board into slots to fix it. Before chassis fitted, make
sure everything is ok.
If there have studs locked on board, and there is not fixed holes between studs and board,
uninstall the studs to avoid shorting PCB circuit.
