Tiger i7320 S5350 | Chapter 2: Board Installation |
2.6 Mounting the Motherboard
Before installing your motherboard, ensure that your chassis is fully compatible. The Tiger i7320 S5350 motherboard conforms fully to the ATX specification. Your chassis should include preinstalled mounting posts that match exactly with the mounting holes in the motherboard. Lay the motherboard on top of the mounting holes to ensure that all the necessary mounting posts exist in your chassis and that they match the mounting holes on the motherboard.
Some chassis’ include plastic studs instead of metal. Although the plastic studs are usable, TYAN recommends using metal studs with screws that will fasten the motherboard more securely in place.
The diagram below is an example of typical motherboard fixing studs.
Note
Use metal studs if possible, as they hold the motherboard in place more securely than plastic standoffs.
