Install standoffs into the pre-drilled holes in the case body (A) according to your motherboard's form factor (E-ATX, ATX, Micro-ATX, ITX). Place the motherboard onto the installed standoffs, aligning the mounting holes. Secure the motherboard with screws.
Diagram illustrates inserting standoffs into the case chassis and then placing the motherboard onto these standoffs before securing.6.3 VGA / PCI-EXPRESS CARD INSTALLATION
Remove the expansion slot covers from the rear of the case corresponding to the slots you intend to use. Insert your graphics card (VGA) or other PCI-Express cards into the appropriate slot on the motherboard. Secure the card to the case chassis using screws.
Diagram shows removing rear expansion slot covers and then securing an installed graphics card with screws.6.4 POWER SUPPLY INSTALLATION
Mount the Power Supply Unit (PSU) onto the PSU Bracket (E). Slide the PSU bracket with the attached PSU into its designated bay, usually located at the bottom rear of the case. Secure the bracket and PSU as needed.
