Permanent and Optional Standoffs

Standoffs prevent short circuits by creating space between the motherboard and the floor of the node. The SCF418 chassis includes permanent standoffs in locations used by most motherboards. These standoffs use the rounded Phillips head screws included in the SCF418 accessories packaging.

Some motherboards require additional screws for heatsinks, general components and/or non-standard security. Optional standoffs are used for these mother- boards.

To use an optional standoff, compare the mounting holes in the motherboard with those in the floor of the node. Then place a screw through the bottom the node and secure the screw with a hexagonal nut (rounded side up).

Depending upon the configuration of the motherboard being used, it is also possible that some of the optional standoffs which are pre-installed in the chassis, may need to be removed. Add or remove standoffs as needed.
