is is an ATX form factor (12” x 9.6”, 30.5 cm x 24.4 cm) motherboard. Before you install
the motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard
ts into it.
2.1 Screw Holes
Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure
to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard components.
Remove the standoff
from the chassis
Rear I/O
Attention! Before installing this motherboard, be sure to unscrew and remove the stando
at the marked location, under the motherboard, from the chassis, in order to avoid electri-
cal short circuit and damage to your motherboard.
