Motherboard overview
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your
chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it. Refer to the chassis
documentation before installing the motherboard.
2.2.1 Placement direction
When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the
chassis in the correct orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the
rear part of the chassis as indicated in the image below.
2.2.2 Screw holes
Place eight (8) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the
motherboard to the chassis.
Do not overtighten the screws! Doing so can damage the motherboard.
Make sure to unplug the chassis power cord before installing or removing
the motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and
damage motherboard components.
