Hi,

I have some confusion about supports and risers. In the section showing how to secure the M'board to the case, you are told that a riser should be inserted into every hole on the m'board followed by a support to prevent the possibility of a short, and the animation shows just that.
My confusion is, that the packet of screws, etc, that came with my m'board has only 4 supports and 4 plastic plugs (I assume these are the risers), but I can't see how the screwthread of the supports marries with the plugs/risers. Also, the m'board has at least 8 holes, so I'm assuming that in my case (pun not intended), either only four holes should be used, or I insert a riser into four holes, and supports into the remaining four, if anyone gets me...

The attachment show one support and one plastic plug (or riser).

Any suggestions anyone?

The plastic plugs are different to the risers, use both separately! Use the risers to hold the motherboard inplace. Look at the holes on the motherboard to figure out how best to place them.

Since the rubber risers came with the motherboard, I'm guessing it has sensible hole placements for them. At a guess (almost 100% on this), the thin end of the plastic riser comes through the bottom of the motherboard, and then pull (a lot) until the first rim squeezes through the mounting hole on the motherboard. The motherboard should be between the two lips on the rubber plugs - with the thin bit coming out of the top of the motherboard.
