Installing the Motherboard
2-1. Safety Precautions
2-2. Installing the motherboard in a Chassis
This motherboard carries an Micro ATX form factor of 244 x 220 mm. Choose a
chassis that accommodates this form factor. Make sure that the I/O template in the
chassis matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge of the motherboard. Most
system chassis have mounting brackets installed in the chassis, which corresponds
to the holes in the motherboard. Place the motherboard over the mounting
brackets and secure the motherboard onto the mounting brackets with screws.
Follow these safety precautions when installing the motherboard:
• Wear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device to avoid damage
from static electricity.
• Discharge static electricity by touching the metal case of a safely grounded
object before working on the motherboard.
• Leave components in the static-proof bags.
• Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power
outlet before installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware
components.
Do not over-tighten the screws as this can stress the motherboard.
