Hardware Installation

5.1.

Installing into a Chassis

The EPIA-M860 can be fitted into any chassis that has the mounting holes

compatible with the standard Mini-ITX mounting hole locations. Additionally,

the chassis must meet the minimum height requirements for specified areas of

the mainboard.

If a riser card module is being used, the chassis will need to accommodate the

additional space requirements.

5.1.1.

Suggested minimum chassis dimensions

The figure below shows the suggested minimum space requirements that a

chassis should have in order to work well with the EPIA-M860.
