2.2.3Support plates for motherboard
For additional protection from motherboard breakage due to the weight of the CPU heatsinks, your motherboard package comes with a solution kit that consists of:
•2 x metal support plates
•1 x contour sheet
•3 different sets of metal nuts and rubber pads for varied chassis standoffs (each set contains 8 metal nuts and 2 rubber pads)
To install the support plates:
1.Open and lay your system chassis flat on a stable surface, then place the motherboard standoffs on the holes as shown.

2.Align the holes of the contour sheet with the standoffs on the base of the chassis. Press the sheet flat making sure that it is completely affixed to the chassis.
3.Determine the height of the standoffs on your chassis, and select the appropriate set of metal nuts and rubber pads from your package.
Use a nut size that is slightly lower than the standoffs on your chassis.
