2.21   Mounting the Motherboard

Before installing your motherboard, make sure your chassis has the necessary

motherboard support studs installed. These studs are usually metal and are gold in color.

Usually, the chassis manufacturer will pre install the support studs. If you're unsure of

stud placement, simply lay the motherboard inside the chassis and align the screw holes

of the motherboard to the studs inside the case. If there are any studs missing, you will

know right away since the motherboard will not be able to be securely installed.

Some chassis' include plastic studs instead of metal. Although the plastic studs are

usable, Tyan recommends using metal studs with screws that will fasten the motherboard

more securely in place.

Below is a chart detailing what the most common motherboard studs look like and how

they should be installed.

TIP: Use metal studs if possible, as they hold the motherboard into place more securely

than plastic standoffs.
