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.
Securing the Motherboard into the Chassis
Most computer chassis have a base with mounting studs or spacers to
allow the mother board to be secured to the chassis and help to
prevent short circuits. If there are studs that do not align with a
mounting hole on the motherboard, it is recommended that you
remove that stud to prevent the possibility of a short circuit. In most
cases, it is recommended to secure the motherboard using a
minimum of eight (8) spacers.
1.
Carefully place the motherboard onto the studs/spacers located
inside the chassis.
2.
Align the mounting holes with the studs/spacers.
3.
Align the connectors to the I/O shield.
4.
Ensure that the fan assembly is aligned with the chassis vents
according to the fan assembly instruction.
5.
Secure the motherboard with a minimum of eight-to-ten screws.
