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.

Note: Be sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for the chassis covers to lock

into place and for the expansion cards. Also make sure the CPU Fan assembly is aligned

with the vents on the covers.

Installing the I/O Shield

The motherboard kit comes with an I/O shield that is used to block radio frequency

transmissions, protects internal components from dust, 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.

Securing the Motherboard into a System Case

Most computer chassis have a base with mounting studs or spacers to allow the

motherboard to be secured to the chassis and help to prevent short circuits. If there are

studs that do not align with a mounting hole on the motherboard, it is recommended that

you remove that stud to prevent the possibility of a short circuit.

1. Carefully place the motherboard onto the studs/spacers located inside the chassis.

2. Align the mounting holes with the studs/spacers.

3. Align the connectors to the I/O shield.

4. Ensure that the fan assembly is aligned with the chassis vents according to the fan

assembly instruction.

5. Secure the motherboard with a minimum of six screws.
