2-2 Motherboard Installation
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fi t different types of chassis.
Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both motherboard and
chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fas-
teners, 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.
Note : Some components are very close to the mounting holes. Please take
precautionary measures to prevent damage to these components when
installing the motherboard to the chassis.
