2.9.2 I/O Shield
The back panel I/O shield for the board must meet specific dimension and material requirements.
Systems based on this board need the back panel I/O shield to pass certification testing. Figure 25
shows the I/O shield for boards with the 8-channel (7.1) audio subsystem. Figure 26 shows the I/O
shield for boards with the 6-channel (5.1) audio subsystem. Dimensions are given in inches to a
tolerance of ±0.02 inches. The figures also indicate the position of each cutout. Additional design
considerations for I/O shields relative to chassis requirements are described in the ATX
specification.

NOTE
The I/O shield drawings in this document are for reference only. I/O shields compliant with the
ATX chassis specification 2.03 are available from Intel.
