Important Motherboard Installation Information
Before installing the motherboard, be aware of the following:
I/O Shield Backplate
The backplate holds the motherboard ports in place. Your motherboard must match
SC512 backplate. If your motherboard does not match, you must choose a different
motherboard.
Heatsinks
Some compatible motherboards require heatsinks to lower the temperature of the
components. Heatsinks for the SC512 chassis must be rated for 1U or less.
