2-3 Mounting the Motherboard into the Chassis
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of chassis.
Make sure that the locations of all mounting holes for the motherboard and the chas-
sis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fasteners,
metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the motherboard to the
chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly.
Then
use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray. (See the
layout on the right for mounting hole locations.)
Note : Some components are very close to the mounting holes. Please take
all necessary precautionary measures to avoid damaging these compo-
nents when installing the motherboard into the chassis.

1. Philips Screwdriver
2. (9) Pan head #6 screws
