Use the screws and mounting brackets supplied with your system case
to install the mainboard. Follow the instructions provided by the case
manufacturer.
Connect Devices, Switches and Indicators
Note:
You might not need to carry out every step in the following
procedure. It depends on the options you are installing, and the
features that are supported by your system case.
Note:
Ribbon cable connectors are usually keyed so that they can
only be installed correctly on the device connector. If the
connector is not keyed make sure that you match the pin-1 side of
the cable connector with the pin-1 side of the device connector.
Each connector has the pin-1 side clearly marked. The pin-1 side
of each ribbon cable is always marked with a red stripe on the
cable.
