Installing the Motherboard

The sequence of installing the motherboard into the chassis depends on the

chassis you are using and if you are replacing an existing motherboard or

working with an empty chassis. Determine if it would be easier to make all the
connections prior to this step or to secure the motherboard and then make all

the connections. It is normally easier to secure the motherboard first.
Use the following procedure to install the I/O shield and secure the

motherboard into the chassis.

Be sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for the chassis covers to

lock into place and for the expansion cards. Also make sure the CPU Fan
assembly is aligned with the vents on the covers.

Installing the I/O Shield

The motherboard kit comes with an I/O shield that is used to block radio

frequency transmissions, protects internal components from dust and foreign

objects, and promotes correct airflow within the chassis.
Before installing the motherboard, install the I/O shield from the inside of the

chassis. Press the I/O shield into place and make sure it fits securely. If the

I/O shield does not fit into the chassis, you would need to obtain the proper
size from the chassis supplier.
