5-6 Installing the I/O Shield and Motherboard
The SC731 supports a micro ATX motherboard, which is sold separately and comes
with an I/O shield specific to the motherboard.
I/O Shield
An I/O shield holds the motherboard ports in place. Install the I/O shield before you
install the motherboard.
Installing the I/O Shield
1. Review the documentation that came with the motherboard. Become familiar
with component placement, requirements, and safety precautions.
2. Disconnect the chassis from any power source
3. With the illustrations facing the outside of the chassis, slide the shield into the
space provided.
4. Once installed, the motherboard will hold the I/O shield in place.
Permanent Motherboard Standoffs
The SC731 provides permanent motherboard standoffs molded into the chassis
floor. These standoffs prevent short circuits by creating space between the moth
-
erboard and the chassis surface.
