2.2 

Motherboard overview

Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to 
ensure that the motherboard fits into it. 

To optimize the motherboard features, we highly recommend that you install it in an 
SSI EEB 1.1 compliant chassis.

2.2.1 

Placement direction

When installing the motherboard, ensure that you place it into the chassis in the 
correct orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis 
as indicated in the image below.

2.2.2 

Screw holes

Place eight (8) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard 
to the chassis.

DO NOT overtighten the screws! Doing so can damage the motherboard.

Ensure to unplug the chassis power cord before installing or removing the 
motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and damage 
motherboard components!

Place this side towards 

the rear of the chassis
