Installing the Motherboard

Page 19 highlights

Installing the Motherboard The sequence of installing the motherboard into a system case depends on the chassis you are using and if you are replacing an existing motherboard or working with an empty system case. 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. It is normally easier to secure the motherboard first. 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 system case 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. This will depend on the system case being used. 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.

Installing the Motherboard
The sequence of installing the motherboard into a system case depends on the
chassis you are using and if you are replacing an existing motherboard or working
with an empty system case. 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. It is normally easier to secure the motherboard first.
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 system case
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. This will depend on the
system case being used.
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.
