Installing the Mainboard in a Case
Most system cases have mounting brackets installed in the case,
which correspond to the holes in the mainboard. Place the
mainboard over the mounting brackets and secure the main-
board into the mounting brackets with screws.
Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel.
Make sure that the I/O template in the case matches the I/O
ports installed on the rear edge of the mainboard.
This illustration
shows a mainboard
installed in a stan-
dard desktop case.
Note: Do not over-
tighten the screws
as this can stress
the mainboard.
