Part 3

Install the Motherboard in the Case

Screw in the metal standoffs (packed with the case hardware) that will hold the motherboard in the case (A).

Carefully slide the board into place (B).

You'll know it's correctly seated when the mounting holes line up. Using the screws that came with the case, mount the motherboard. Be careful not to overtighten the screws, or you may damage the board.

Next, hook up the small connectors for the case's on/off switch, the reset button, speakers, and the indicator lights (power and hard disk activity) to the motherboard. See your motherboard manual for details, and work carefully.

Finally, connect the large power connector from the PC's power supply to the motherboard. The connector will fit only one way.
