Most system cases have mounting brackets installed in the
case, which correspond to the holes in the mainboard. Place
the mainboard over the mounting brackets and secure the
mainboard into the mounting brackets with screws.
Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel.
Make sure that the I/O template in the case matches the I/O
ports installed on the rear edge of the mainboard.

dard desktop case.
Note:
Do not over-
tighten the screws
as this can stress
the mainboard.
