Installing the I/O Shield
The desktop board comes with an I/O shield. When installed in the chassis, the shield
blocks radio frequency transmissions, protects internal components from dust and
foreign objects, and promotes correct airflow within the chassis.
Install the I/O shield before installing the desktop board in the chassis. Place the
shield inside the chassis as shown in Figure 5. Press the shield into place so that it fits
t
ightly and securely. If the shield does not fit, obtain a properly sized shield from the
chassis supplier.
