Motherboard Installation
Your Nemesis supports the following motherboard: ATX, MINI ATX,
and MICRO ATX. The Index for the standoff holes are as follows.
(Imprinted on the motherboard tray)
A1~A9 ATX
B1~B9 BABY AT
M1~M9 MINI ATX
U1~U7 MICRO ATX
In order to install your motherboard go through the following steps:
1. Lay your case down sideways and remove the side panel so
you can see the drive cages and the standoff holes on the
motherboard tray.
2. Take your motherboard and match the tray to see where you
will need to install brass standoffs.
3. Remembering which standoff holes your motherboard
needs, go ahead and screw the brass standoffs onto the
motherboard tray. ( Note: If you find that some holes are
unused, this is normal, this case is made to support for many
motherboard sizes )
4. Place your motherboard on top of the brass standoffs and
attach it to the tray using screws provided.
5. Connect the 20-pin ATX power connector from your power
supply (and AUX or +12V connectors if appropriate) to your
motherboard.
