Motherboard overview

Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your

chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it. Refer to the chassis

documentation before installing the motherboard.

2.2.1 Placement direction

When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the

chassis in the correct orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the

rear part of the chassis as indicated in the image below.

2.2.2 Screw holes

Place eight (8) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the

motherboard to the chassis.

Do not overtighten the screws! Doing so can damage the motherboard.

Make sure to unplug the chassis power cord before installing or removing

the motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and

damage motherboard components.
