2.14 –Tips on Installing Motherboard in Chassis
Before installing your motherboard, make sure your chassis has the necessary
motherboard support studs installed. These studs are usually metal and are gold in
color. Usually, the chassis manufacturer will pre-install the support studs. If you are

missing, you will know right away since the motherboard will not be able to be
