Step 8 Install the Motherboard

The motherboard mounting hole pattern is shown below. Standoffs and mounting screws are not supplied with the motherboard. The chassis manufacturer should supply these parts.

Step

Action

1

Place the chassis on an anti-static mat. Connect the chassis to ground to avoid static

 

damage during installation. Connect an alligator clip with a wire lead to any

 

unpainted part of the chassis. Ground the other end of the lead at the same point as

 

the mat and the wristband.

2

Rotate the chassis so the front is to the right, and the rear is to the left. The side facing

of the chassis.

3

Holdthemotherboard,component-side up, with the edge with the SIMM sockets

 

towardyouandtheedgewiththepowersupplyconnectorawayfromyou.The

 

keyboard, mouse, and video connectors should be to the left.

4

Carefully slide the motherboard into the chassis. Make certain the edge connectors fit

 

the ports in the rear of the chassis. The motherboard should rest level with the

 

chassis.

5

Place the mounting screws in the holes provided and tighten them. If necessary, shift

 

the motherboard slightly to align the mounting holes on the motherboard with the

 

holes on the chassis,

Warning

If using metallic screws, make sure you use them only in

the plated mounting holes.

If using metallic screws, make sure the head of the screw

fits completely inside the plated mounting holes.
