Comparing I/O Shield to Motherboard I/O Connectors
The I/O shield that comes with the
case doesn’t match up with the connectors on the mainboard. We
can see this by comparing the I/O connectors on the mainboard to the
shield. Just hold the mainboard up to the shield or place it inside
the case so the connectors face the I/O shield to see if the mainboard
matches the existing I/O shield. If the mainboard comes with its own
I/O shield, we can hold up the I/O shield that comes with the mainboard
and compare it to the one that comes with the case (Figure 56).

Our mainboard has built-in
networking, and there is an RJ-45 network connection directly to the
mainboard. The I/O shield that comes with the mainboard allows for this
connection, while the standard one that comes with the case doesn’t.
So, we need to replace the I/O shield.
