Before installation: Turn off the power supply switch (fully turn off the +5V standby power), or 
disconnect the power cord before installing or unplugging any connectors or add-on cards. Failing to do 
so may cause the motherboard components or add-on cards to malfunction or become damaged. 

Most computer chassis have a base with many mounting holes to allow the motherboard to be securely 
attached, and at the same time, prevent the system from short circuits. There are two ways to attach the 
motherboard to the chassis base: 

1. use studs, or 
2. use spacers 

In principle, the best way to attach the board is to 
use studs. Only if you are unable to do this should 
you attach the board with spacers. Line up the 
holes on the board with the mounting holes on the 
chassis. If the holes line up and there are screw 
holes, you can attach the board with studs. If the 
holes line up and there are only slots, you can 
only attach with spacers. Take the tip of the 
spacers and insert them into the slots. After doing 
this to all the slots, you can slide the board into 
position aligned with slots. After the board has 
been positioned, check to make sure everything is 
OK before putting the chassis back on. 

ATTENTION: To prevent shorting the PCB circuit, please REMOVE the metal studs or spacers if they 
are already fastened on the chassis base and are without mounting-holes on the motherboard to align with.
