ground screw ??


Hey,

I'm right in the middle of installing my cusl2-c motherboard in a Inwin S-500 case when I notice there is a copper ground screw that should be installed. Where the case instructions say to install it, there is not matching hole in the motherboard?

Do i need to install it?

Your quick help is greatly appreciated.

I don't think there is one on this mobo. I have the cusl2 and no such connection was used. No problem with the system.

As long as you're using the six regular mounting holes you'll be OK. A metal stand-off or two is recommended for stability if the rest are the nylon type. Might suggest using a fibre washer on top of the metal ones to protect the mobo too.

Be careful not to over tighten thoses screws ...snug is tight enough.Using metal standoffs all the screws will be grounded anyway .......a copper screw is just a good way pointing out ...look at me this is a definate grounding point..understand?
