Motherboard
Some standoffs are pre-installed and others are available in the accessory box. Compare the
mounting holes in the motherboard to those in the chassis and add or remove standoffs as
needed. Secure the hexagonal standoff, rounded side up, by screwing it into the mounting
base of the chassis. Once all standoffs are in place, you are ready to mount the motherboard.
Installing the Motherboard
1.
Lay the motherboard on the chassis, aligning the standoffs.
2.
Secure the motherboard to the standoffs using the rounded, Phillips head screws. Do
not exceed eight inch-pounds of torque.
3. Secure the CPU, heatsinks, and other components to the motherboard as described in
the motherboard documentation.
4. Connect the cables between the motherboard and other components such as the
chassis, front panel, drives, fans and power supply.
