Need help installing new motherboard

[Christopher]

I'm trying to install my new motherboard for my computer. I need help with the questions below.

There are these things on the I/O shield circled in red. They are in the way I think. Do I take them off?


Do I take the thing in the red box off?


Once again, would I take the thing boxed in red off?


Can I run cables underneath the motherboard? It would be a cable going to my fan controller.
Thanks for any help!

I believe those are supposed to come out; I don't know how else you'd put in those necessary ports. Not sure about running cables under the mobo...

I've decided against running the cable under the mobo. Those things that were in my way I ended up bending out of my way.

I had a question here about screws, but after much pushing I got them aligned.

Make sure you use some sort of thermal paste in between the processor and the heat sink, just a friendly tip.

Installing a new mobo can be a pain. I just installed a new one myself not to long ago. Yeah I think your supposed to bend those clip things on the I/O panel. Because the computer I got from ABS pre built had the I/O panel clips bent. So I did the same.
