Installing the Motherboard

2-1. Safety Precautions

2-2. Installing the motherboard in a Chassis

This motherboard carries a Mini ITX form factor of 170 x 170 mm. Choose a chassis

that accommodates this form factor. Make sure that the I/O template in the chassis

matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge of the motherboard. Most system

chassis have mounting brackets installed in the chassis, which corresponds to the

holes in the motherboard. Place the motherboard over the mounting brackets and

secure the motherboard onto the mounting brackets with screws.

Follow these safety precautions when installing the motherboard:

• Wear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device to avoid damage

from static electricity.

• Discharge static electricity by touching the metal case of a safely grounded

object before working on the motherboard.

• Leave components in the static-proof bags.

• Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power

outlet before installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware

components.

Do not over-tighten the screws as this can stress the motherboard.
