Mounting Screws
Align the mounting holes on the motherboard with the mounting holes on the chassis. If the I/O shield is included in the motherboard package, install it into the chassis I/O shield opening. Secure the motherboard to the chassis with the screws provided with the chassis. The figure below shows the mounting hole locations. For additional information, refer to the chassis manual.
CAUTION!
* Place the motherboard on a flat, stable surface. * To avoid damaging the motherboard, secure the electronic components to the mounting stands, avoiding contact with the chassis. * Ensure the reliability of the metal components on the motherboard and inside the chassis. Unsecured parts may cause a short circuit on the motherboard.
Installing Memory Modules
- Push the clips on the DIMM slots outward. Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. The notch on the bottom of the memory module is offset from the center to ensure correct installation.
- Install the memory module into the DIMM slot until it clicks into place. When the module is correctly inserted, the locking clips on both sides of the DIMM slot will automatically lock.
- Make sure the memory module is securely locked in the DIMM slot by the slot clips.
CAUTION!
* For dual-channel mode, install memory modules of the same type and capacity. * Always start installing memory modules from the DIMM1 slot.
