2.4.Installing the Motherboard
The sequence of installing the motherboard�into the chassis depends on the chassis you are using and if you are replacing
an existing motherboard or working with an empty chassis. Determine if it would be easier to make all the connections prior
to this step or to secure the motherboard and then make all the connections. Use the following procedure to install the I/O
shield and secure the motherboard into the chassis.
2.5.Installing the I/O Shield
The motherboard kit comes with an I/O shield�that is used to block radio frequency transmissions, protects internal compo-
nents from dust and foreign objects, and promotes correct airflow within the chassis.
Before installing the motherboard, install the I/O shield from the inside of the chassis. Press the I/O shield into place and
make sure it fits securely. �If the I/O shield does not fit into the chassis, you would need to obtain the proper size from the
chassis supplier.
Be sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for the chassis covers to lock into place and for the expan-
sion cards. Also make sure the CPU Fan assembly is aligned with the vents on the covers.
2.3.Installing Memory DIMMs
Your new motherboard has 2�slots for DDR4 memory. They support dual channel DDR4�memory technology. There must
be at least one memory bank populated to ensure normal operation. Use the following the recommendations for installing
memory.
1 DIMM: Install into DIMM 1. You can install the DIMM into any slot, however, slot 1 is preferred.
2 DIMMs:Install into DIMM 1&DIMM 2 slots , to build dual channel.
Use the following procedure to install memory DIMMs into the slots on the motherboard. Note that there is only one gap near
the center of the DIMM slot. This slot matches the slot on the memory DIMM to ensure the component is installed properly.
Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward.
Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically into the DIMM slot. The plastic clips at both
sides of the DIMM slot automatically lock the DIMM into the connector.
