2.6 Mounting the Motherboard
Before installing your motherboard, ensure that your chassis is fully compatible. The Tiger
i7320 S5350 / Tiger i7320R S5350-1U motherboard conforms fully to the CEB specification.
Your chassis should include preinstalled mounting posts that match exactly with the mounting
holes in the motherboard. Lay the motherboard on top of the mounting holes to ensure that all
the necessary mounting posts exist in your chassis and that they match the mounting holes on
the motherboard.
Some chassis’ include plastic studs instead of metal. Although the plastic studs are usable,
TYAN recommends using metal studs with screws that will fasten the motherboard more
securely in place.
The diagram below is an example of typical motherboard fixing studs.
Note
Use metal studs if possible, as they hold the motherboard in place more
securely than plastic standoffs.
