The other instructions here I disagree with.

But I agree with VB's instructions. With the added comment that I had to bend the clip outwards & down at the same time with a regular screw driver to get the clip to fit.

Edit: And noway, nohow would I attempt this out of the case. I needed the stability of the mobo mounted in the case.

well i dont really agree with that...

while it may be easier to install while its in teh case, you could risk cracking ur board. the pressure of pushing down on the socket and clip could be enough to make teh board flex a it may even end up breaking\cracking.

I had to push mine pretty hard to get it on my 2500XP.

Rubbish. You're far safer doing it on a flat surface rather than on 9 standoffs.

agreed, you risk damaging the mobo if you do it with only 9 stands, the pressure points can&#39;t take taht much pressure

lay the mobo and a desk flat and do the hs mounting
