Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance
Permanent and Optional Standoffs
Standoffs prevent short circuits by securing space between the motherboard and
the chassis surface. The SC825 chassis includes permanent standoffs in locations
used by most motherboards. These standoffs accept the rounded Phillips head
screws included in the SC825 accessories packaging.
Some motherboard require additional screws for heatsinks, general components
and/or non-standard security. Optional standoffs are included to these mother-
boards. To use an optional standoff, you must place the hexagonal screw through
the bottom the chassis and secure the screw with the hexagon nut (rounded side
up).
