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 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.  
Securing the Motherboard into the Chassis 
Most computer chassis have a base with mounting studs or spacers to allow the 
mother board 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 eight-to-ten screws.
