Chapter 4: Chassis Setup and Maintenance
Installing the Motherboard:
Review the documentation that came with your motherboard. Become
familiar with component placement, requirements, precautions, and cable
connections.
Open the chassis cover.
As required by your motherboard, install standoffs in any areas that do not
have a permanent standoff. To do this:
A. Place a hexagonal standoff screw through the bottom the chassis.
B. Secure the screw with the hexagon nut (rounded side up).
Lay the motherboard on the chassis aligning the permanent and optional
standoffs
Secure the motherboard to the chassis using the rounded, Phillips head
screws.
Secure the CPU(s), heatsinks, and other components to the motherboard as
described in the motherboard documentation.
Connect the cables between the motherboard, backplane, chassis, front pan-
el, and power supply, as needed. Also, the fans may be temporarily removed
to allow access to the backplane ports.
