EVGA X58 FTW3 Motherboard Securing the Motherboard into a System Case Most system cases have a base with mounting studs or spacers to allow the motherboard to be secured to the chassis and help to prevent short circuits. If there are studs that do not align with a mounting hole on the motherboard, it is recommended that you remove that stud to prevent the possibility of a short circuit. In most cases, it is recommended to secure the motherboard using a minimum of nine (9) spacers and screws. 1. Carefully place the motherboard onto the stand off /spacers located inside the chassis. Align the mounting holes with the studs/spacers. Align the connectors to the I/O shield. Ensure that the fan assembly is aligned with the chassis vents according to the fan assembly instruction. Secure the motherboard with a recommended minimum of nine (9) screws. Connecting Cables This section takes you through all the necessary connections on the motherboard.

Securing the Motherboard into a System Case
Most system cases have a base with mounting studs or spacers to allow the
motherboard to be secured to the chassis and help to prevent short circuits. If

recommended that you remove that stud to prevent the possibility of a short
circuit. In most cases, it is recommended to secure the motherboard using a
minimum of nine (9) spacers and screws.
1.
Carefully place the motherboard onto the stand off /spacers located inside
the chassis.
Align the mounting holes with the studs/spacers.
Align the connectors to the I/O shield.
Ensure that the fan assembly is aligned with the chassis vents according to the
fan assembly instruction.
Secure the motherboard with a recommended minimum of nine (9) screws.
