1. Install the four standos into the
motherboard around the mezzanine
card slot.
2. Install the four lock nuts on the bolts
under the motherboard. Hand-tighten
the nuts.
34
3. Gently insert the mezzanine card
into the mezzanine card slot on the
motherboard.
4. Use screws to secure the mezzanine
card to the motherboard standos.
When the mezzanine card is well installed, horizontally slide the motherboard back to the

the motherboard to the chassis with screws. For more details, refer to the user manual that
comes with your motherboard.
