2.6 Tips on Installing Motherboard in Chassis
Before installing your motherboard, make sure your chassis has the necessary
motherboard support studs installed. These studs are usually metal and are gold in
color. Usually, the chassis manufacturer will pre-install the support studs. If you are
unsure of stud placement, simply lay the motherboard inside the chassis and align
the screw holes of the motherboard to the studs inside the case. If there are any
studs missing, you will know right away since the motherboard will not be able to be
securely installed.
Note: Be especially careful to look for extra stand-offs. If there are any stand-offs
present that are not aligned with a mounting hole on the motherboard, it will likely
short components on the back of the motherboard when installed. This will cause
malfunction and/or damage to your motherboard.
