2-3 Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of chassis.
Make sure that the locations of all mounting holes for the motherboard and the chas-
sis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fasteners,
metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the motherboard to the
chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly.
Then
use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray.
Note
: some components are near to the mounting holes. Please take all neces-
sary precautionary measures to prevent damage done to these components when
installing the motherboard into the chassis.
Warning:
To avoid damage to the motherboard, do not use more than 8lbs of
torque when tightening the screws.
8. Repeat Step 6 to insert all four heatsink
fasteners into the mounting holes.
9. Once all four fasteners are securely
inserted into the mounting holes and the
heatsink is properly installed on the moth-
erboard, connect the heatsink fan wires to
the CPU Fan connector.
1. Unplug the power cord from the power
supply.
2. Disconnect the heatsink fan wires from the
CPU fan header.
3. Use your finger tips to gently press on the
fastener cap and turn it counterclockwise
to make a 1/4 (90
0
) turn, and then pull the
fastener upward to loosen it.
4. Repeat Step 3 to loosen all fasteners from
the mounting holes.
5. With all fasteners loosened, remove the
heatsink from the CPU.
