Installing the New I/O Shield Now well put the new I/O shield in place. First we will orient it as shown in Figure 61. Then, since this new shield is the conventional style, well pop it into place from inside the case (Figure 62). After installing the I/O shield from the inside of the case, we could use the back of a screwdriver to push the I/O shield into place. Some I/O shields have very sharp edges, so be careful not to allow your hand to slip and hit the shield or the case when youre removing or installing an I/O shield. Remember, blood spurting out of your finger will detract from the fun of building your own PC.
The preceding figures show us that the orientation of the I/O shield is important. Typically, the PS/2 connectors for the keyboard and the mouse will sit toward the top of the case.
