Frequently Asked Questions
What precautions must I take before installing components?
Use a grounded wrist strap, unplug the computer, and handle all components by their edges to prevent static damage.
My motherboard mounting holes don't match the chassis base. Can I still install it safely?
Yes. You can cut off the bottom portion of the spacers in order to attach the motherboards without worry about short circuits.
How do I prevent screws from damaging the PCB during installation?
Be careful not to let the screw contact any printed circuit write or parts near the fixing hole; you may need to use plastic springs for insulation.
Where can I learn about basic or advanced BIOS settings?
The manual covers Chapter 2 (BIOS Setup), detailing standard CMOS features, advanced features, and integrated peripherals.
