System Enclosures and Chassis Selection
AMD Athlon™ 64 processor-based motherboards can leverage industry-standard tower or
pedestal chassis. The selection of the proper system chassis is a critical element to the success of
the finished system. For best results, a system builder should always contact the motherboard and
chassis suppliers or vendors to verify that each of the chosen components supports the desired
system configuration. The following data is a basic guideline that has been tested by the
engineering staff at AMD.

This data is only a guideline and is not a substitute for a system builder verifying that a

builder conducting its own research, testing, and validation.
4.1.1
Basic System Enclosure Selection Guidelines
The choice of the appropriate system enclosure depends on many factors as follows:
•
It must be compatible with the chosen motherboard and power supply. Confirm the
motherboard and power supply requirements with those suppliers.
