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.)

Note: 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.
