Chapter 2: Installation
This is a micro ATX form factor (9.6" x 9.6", 24.4 x 24.4 cm) motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the confi guration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fi ts into it.
2.1 Screw Holes
Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis.
2.2 Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.
1.
Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
components.
To avoid damaging the motherboard’s components due to static electricity, NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle the components.
Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti- static pad or in the bag that comes with the component.
When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the mother- board to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing
so may damage the motherboard.
