Figure 5-6. Chassis Standoffs
Permanent and Optional Standoffs
Standoffs prevent short circuits by creating space between the motherboard and the
chassis surface. The SC116 chassis includes permanent standoffs in locations used
by most motherboards. These standoffs accept the rounded Phillips head screws
included in the SC116 accessories packaging.
Some motherboards require additional screws for heatsinks, general components
and/or non-standard security. Optional standoffs are included for these mother-
boards. 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).
