Step 5
Mount the Mainboard on the Computer Chassis
1. You may find that there are a lot of different mounting hole positions
both on your computer chassis and on the mainboard. To choose a
correct mounting hole, the key point is to keep the back-panel of the
mainboard in a close fit with your system case, as shown below.
2. After deciding on the proper mounting holes, position the studs be
tween the frame of chassis and the mainboard. The studs are used to
fix the mainboard and to keep a certain distance between the system
chassis and the mainboard, in order to avoid any electrical shortage
between the board and the metal frame of chassis. (If your computer
case is already equipped with mounting studs, you will need to tighten
screws to attach the mainboard.)

In most computer housings, you will be able to find 4 or more
attachment points to install mounting studs and fix the mainboard.
If there aren't enough matching holes, then make sure to install at
least 4 mounting studs to ensure proper attachment of the
mainboard.
