Remove an ATX Motherboard

How to Remove an ATX Motherboard(2)

Steps

11.Grasp the main board at the two shorter sides and lift it up by tilting the drive side up first, release the I/O cluster from the case, then lift straight out.

12.Place the motherboard on a large anti-static bag, paper-bag, cardboard box, or table carefully. Make sure the area you are placing it is more than stable and open for your usage.

Tips
1.By tilting the motherboard so the right side points down into the case and the left side that contains your back-panel ports up, the motherboard will evade some drives that may be near "in-the-way" and come free much easier.

2.Having areas set out to place you computer parts as they are removed is a more than helpful step that is recommended to be taken.

3.If your case has a removable motherboard tray (not likely if you didn't custom build it), you can simply remove the tray (usually pull towards the back on the right side) so you can easily work on it.

Warnings
Static electricity can harm your computer in nearly unnoticeable ways, all operations of such a nature should be acted on with the most strict preparation and precautions.
