This is going to sound like a stupid question, but humour me on this one.
Ive just got my new abit nf7 board, xp2500 and ram. Wahey!
But... im having trouble installing the backing plate (i know :rolleyes: )
On the bottom ps2 port, theres a bit of metal sticking off. Do i snap this off? Does it have a purpose?
Help....!
is it in the way? can you safely bend it out of the way?
These can be bent back, or just snapped off. They dont do anything, except annoy me. I didnt take them off and spent ages wondering why i couldnt get the mouse in, grrr....
so you reckon i can try and snap the bugger? I'll try and take a pic
I know the things you mean. Asus use them too. I just made sure they sprung over the ps2 ports, rather than obstructing them. I think it's meant to reduce interference by grounding the ports.

i'll see what i can do tomorrow, i'll try and bend it backwards so its not to much in the way
You shouldn't really need to bend it at all. Just make sure it goes on top of the connector block
i cant its attached to the bottom of the connector block, sort of pointing forwards.
Did it bend when you first put the mobo in the case? Do you have a digi cam to show us?
