Mounting Screw Holes

When installing the motherboard, first install the necessary mounting stands required

for an motherboard on the mounting plate in your computer case. If there is an

I/O back plate that came with the computer case, please replace it with the I/O

backplate that came with the motherboard package. The I/O backplate should snap

easily into the computer case without the need for any screws. Align the mounting

plate’s mounting stands with the screw holes on the motherboard and secure the

motherboard with the screws provided with your computer case. The locations of the

screw holes on the motherboard are shown below. For more information, please refer

to the manual that came with the computer case.

Important

Install the motherboard on a flat surface free from unnecessary debris.

To prevent damage to the motherboard, any contact between the motherboard

circuitry and the computer case, except for the mounting stands, is prohibited.

Please make sure there are no loose metal components on the motherboard or

within the computer case that may cause a short circuit of the motherboard.

The I/O ports should be facing

toward the rear of the computer

case. They should line up with the

holes on the I/O backplate.
