The I/O Shield
The I/O shield provides a shield that prevents electrical interference from leaking around
the I/O ports. Install the I/O shield before installing the motherboard. If the motherboard
you purchased did not include a standard I/O shield, contact the motherboard vendor for a
compatible shield.
Installing the I/O Shield

Review the documentation that came with your motherboard. Become familiar with
component placement, requirements, and precautions.
2.

in Section 5-4.
