Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis

All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of

chassis. Chassis may include a variety of mounting fasteners made of

metal or plastic. Although a chassis may have both types, metal fasteners

are the most highly recommended because they ground the motherboard to

the chassis. For this reason, it is best to use as many metal fasteners as

possible.
