2-3 Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of
chassis. Chassis may include a variety of mounting fasteners made of
metal or plastic. Although a chassis may have both types, metal fasteners
are the most highly recommended because they ground the motherboard to
the chassis. For this reason, it is best to use as many metal fasteners as
possible.
