Chapter 2

Before installing this motherboard, exam your chassis to ensure this motherboard fits into it.

1. Face the side of the I/O ports toward the rear part of the chassis.

2. Locate the screw holes on the motherboard and the chassis base.

3. Place all the studs or spacers needed on the chassis base, and then have them tightened.

4. Line up all the screw holes on the motherboard with those studs or spacers on the chassis.

5. Tighten all the screws.

As the Dual OTES Fan Duct takes up two screw-hole positions that are traditionally used for motherboard
installation, please refer to the “ABIT Dual OTES” quick installation guide for details.
