Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of chas- sis. Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both motherboard and chassis match. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly. Then, use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray. (Note: some components are very close to the mounting holes. Please take precautionary measures to prevent damage done to these components when you install the motherboard to the chassis.)
