Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrical static
discharge. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static
protected.
5-2 Motherboard Installation
This section explains the first steps of physically mounting the motherboard into
the chassis. Following the steps in the order given will eliminate the most common
problems encountered in such an installation. To remove the motherboard, follow
the procedure in reverse order.
Installing to the Chassis
Access the inside of the system by removing the screws from the back lip of 1.
the top cover of the chassis, then pull the cover off.
The motherboard requires a chassis big enough to support a 13.68" x 13.05" 2.
motherboard.
Make sure that the I/O ports on the motherboard align properly with their 3.
respective holes in the I/O shield at the back of the chassis.
Carefully mount the motherboard to the motherboard tray by aligning the 4.
board holes with the raised metal standoffs that are visible in the chassis.
Insert screws into all the mounting holes on your motherboard that line up 5.
with the standoffs and tighten until snug (if you screw them in too tight, you
might strip the threads). Metal screws provide an electrical contact to the
motherboard ground to provide a continuous ground for the system.
Finish by replacing the top cover of the chassis. 6.
