I have a question for you all,
My order got misplaced in the FedEx queue... wow, but it's on its way.
My mobile is fully assembled and prepared for the case, and I'm eager to dive into the bios and OS to start receiving updates.
How should I set up the botherboard without the case? Is simply placing it on the cardboard box it came in secure enough? Should I also ensure it's on a hardwood floor to avoid picking up static? I just want to boot it up, install windows, and prepare any drivers needed or make it game-ready. I hope when my case arrives, I can just drop it in and jump into gaming.
Thanks all.

Unless you truly require this machine to be active, hold off. However, if you must activate it immediately, simply briefly touch the PWR_BTN pins located on the front panel header.
