Installing the Motherboard in a System Housing

This section explains the basic requirements for installing this motherboard in a system housing or “chassis”. Since housing designs vary widely, you will need to consult the housing documentation for specific information.

This motherboard can be installed in any housing that supports the ATX form factor.

To install the motherboard in a system housing you will need to do the following:

•Install a rear I/O panel shield

•Attach the board to the housing

•Connect leads from the housing’s front panel

You can then connect other internal system components as described later in this chapter.

Motherboard Installation Procedure

This section assumes you are installing the board in a suitable ATX housing. We also assume you have prepared the board for installation as previously described in this manual. If the housing you are using normally stands vertically, place the open housing on it’s side before you start.

Please follow this procedure to install this motherboard:

1.Review any instructions that came with the system housing and prepare the necessary mounting hard- ware that came with it.

2.Identify the mounting holes on the board and con- firm that the housing has standoffs that match them.

3.Install the rear I/O panel shield that came with the housing in the housing’s I/O panel opening. This should match the ports on the board.

4.Insert the board in the housing and align the mount- ing holes to the standoffs on the housing’s motherboard mounting plate. Make sure all of the rear I/O ports are properly aligned with the open- ings in the I/O panel shield.
