Securing the Mainboard to the Case
Also when securing the mainboard,
be sure all case wires are out of the way. Don’t allow any case
wires to remain below the mainboard. And, if you drop any screws or
anything else, be sure they’re removed before installing the mainboard.
Any little metal parts inappropriately floating around under the mainboard
could cause problems, because they could inappropriately ground the
bottom of the board. Also be sure that your screwdriver is clean and
has no metal shavings or grease on it from previous projects. Little
metal shavings are also bad for mainboards.
Now screw the mainboard to the case
(Figure 69).
You’ll only need two screws. But, feel free to use more.
