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 these studs 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.
