Installing the Mainboard 2-3
¬
Installing the Mainboard to the Casing
Most computer cases will have a base on which there will be many mounting
holes that allows the mainboard to be securely attached and at the same time,
prevents short circuits.
There are two ways to attach the mainboard to the base.
l
with spacers
l
or with bolts
In principle, the best way to attach the motherboard is with bolts, and only if
you are unable to do this should you attach the board with spacers. Take a
careful look at the mainboard and you will see many mounting holes on it. Line
these holes up with the mounting holes on the base. If the holes line up, and
there are screw holes this means you can attach the mainboard with bolts. If the
holes line up and there are only slots, this means you can only attach the
mainboard with spacers. Take the tip of the spacers and insert it into the slots.
After doing this to all the slots, you can slide the mainboard into position aligned
with the slots. After the mainboard has been positioned, check to make sure
everything is OK before putting the casing back on.
Note: If the mainboard has mounting holes, but don’t line up with the holes
on the base and their are no slots to attach the spacers, don’t panic,
you can still attach the spacers to the mounting holes. Just cut the
spacers (along the dotted line) (the spacer may be a little hard so be
careful of our hands). In this way you can still attach the mainboard
to the base without worrying about short circuits.
