Windows Forum / Windows XP / Hardware / October 2006peripherals' connectors' mo-bo plate
My case's part where all the peripherals are connected in the back (COM's,LTP's,USB's etc.) doesn't match my mo-bo design,so there's a small metal plate that came with the mo-bo in a box.So I removed the case's part and put the new plate instead.It fits,but there's no way to make sure it stays.I guess when I install the mo-bo it would somewhat hold it in place. Is that a normal thing? > My case's part where all the peripherals are connected in the back > (COM's,LTP's,USB's etc.) doesn't match my mo-bo design,so there's a small > metal plate that came with the mo-bo in a box.So I removed the case's part > and put the new plate instead.It fits,but there's no way to make sure it > stays.I guess when I install the mo-bo it would somewhat hold it in place. > Is that a normal thing? And your question about Windows XP is???? Steve If you look at it more closely, I expect that you will find that it "clicks" into place. Thay can require quite a lot of force to "click" them into place, and you have to be careful to "brace" the surrounding case metal, so as not to bend it out of shape ! ....if I'm on the right track there !!! :-) regards, Richard >> My case's part where all the peripherals are connected in the back >> (COM's,LTP's,USB's etc.) doesn't match my mo-bo design,so there's a small [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > And your question about Windows XP is???? > Steve > My case's part where all the peripherals are connected in the back > (COM's,LTP's,USB's etc.) doesn't match my mo-bo design,so there's a small > metal plate that came with the mo-bo in a box.So I removed the case's part > and put the new plate instead.It fits,but there's no way to make sure it > stays.I guess when I install the mo-bo it would somewhat hold it in place. > Is that a normal thing? Alon: Yes, it's perfectly normal. Presumably all input/output plates have standardized dimensions that fit ATX cases. Some just fit better than others. Anna |
