Chapter 2 Installation

P4i45PE+ is an ATX form factor (12.0-in x 7.0-in, 30.5 cm x 17.8 cm) motherboard.
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to en­sure that the motherboard fits into it.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and

damages to motherboard components.

2.1 Screw Holes

Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the
chassis.

Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

2.2 Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components
or change any motherboard settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity,
NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also
remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded
object before you handle components.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti­static pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

10

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is
switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure
to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/
or components.
