2.1 Product 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. 

 

 

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the 
motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and 
damage motherboard components.

 

 

2.1.1 

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. 

 

2.1.2 

Screw Holes 

Place four (4) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the 

chassis. 

 

 

Do not over tighten the screws! Doing so can damage the 
motherboard. 

 

 

 

Place this side towards the rear of the 

chassis
