3.2. Installation
The BBPCHOME is designed to fit into a special ATX form factor
chassis. The chassis comes with various mounting fasteners, which
are made of metal or plastic. It is highly recommended to use as
many metal fasteners as possible to mount the motherboard in the
chassis for better grounding.
To install the motherboard you need to install the CPU and DDR
memory modules, attach the connectors.
3.3. Safety Measures

Always disconnect the motherboard from the ATX power
supply, and disconnect the computer from the power outlet
