1.3 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.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and
damage motherboard components.

1.3.1 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.

1.3.2 Screw Holes

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

chassis.

Do not over tighten the screws! Doing so can damage the
