Install Your Motherboard


Install Your Motherboard

Now you need to pop the backplate into your case. The lip should be on the inside of the case, with the PS2 ports near the top end of your case. Push it in from the inside, as shown here.

Your motherboard mounts are installed now it’s time to install the mobo. Before you do that, you need to install the ATX backplate. It’s impossible to get it in after the motherboard is in place.

Now you can slide the mobo into the case. Lower it in at a 45 Degree angle, making sure that the holes on the ATX backplate connectors on the motherboard. Pay close attention to any Fire Wire,Ethernet, USB and PS2 ports. There are small pieces of metal attached to the backplate that sometimes slide into the ports if you don’t pay attention. In fact, they should go above the ports, as they help keep the ATX backplate form moving.


Once the motherboard is in the case and everything’s lined up right, screw down the motherboard, but not too tightly!

Once the motherboard is in the case, line up the holes on the mobo with the holes on the supports. Make absolutely certain that that none of the mobo supports are hidden under the board. You need to adjust their position before you screw the mobo down or they’ll short out your board and prevent it form working right. Once you’ve lined up all the holes, you can begin screwing them in. It’s important that you don’t over tighten the screws. Doing so could damage your mobo. Turn it no more than one-quarter turn beyond the point you first feel resistance.
