AMD RS880 motherboard

Installing the Motherboard

The sequence of installing the motherboard into the chassis depends on the chassis

you are using and if you are replacing an existing motherboard or working with an

empty chassis. Determine if it would be easier to make all the connections prior to this

step or to secure the motherboard and then make all the connections. It is normally

easier to secure the motherboard rst.

Use the following procedure to install the I/O shield and secure the motherboard into

the chassis.

Note: Be sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for the

chassis covers to lock into place and for the expansion cards. Also

make sure the CPU Fan assembly is aligned with the vents on the

covers.

Installing the I/O Shield

The motherboard kit comes with an I/O shield that is used to block radio frequency

transmissions, protects internal components from dust and foreign objects, and

promotes correct airow within the chassis.

Before installing the motherboard, install the I/O shield from the inside of the chassis.

Press the I/O shield into place and make sure it ts securely. If the I/O shield does not

t into the chassis, you would need to obtain the proper size from the chassis supplier.

Securing the Motherboard into the Chassis

Most computer chassis have a base with mounting studs or spacers to allow the

motherboard to be secured to the chassis and help to prevent short circuits. If there are

studs that do not align with a mounting hole on the motherboard, it is recommended

that you remove that stud to prevent the possibility of a short circuit. In most cases, it

is recommended to secure the motherboard with spacers.

1. Carefully place the motherboard onto the studs/spacers located inside the

chassis.

2. Align the mounting holes with the studs/spacers.

3. Align the connectors to the I/O shield.

4. Ensure that the fan assembly is aligned with the chassis vents according to the fan

assembly instruction.

5. Secure the motherboard with screws.
