    Metal Plate Tabs??

    OK, stupid question... When you install a new motherboard, do the tabs on the back fitting (metal plate, printer, video,exc...holes) go in front of the items or behind?? I know this is not a real clear question, but I have wondered about this for awhile. I usually install the board any way it falls and lands. Sometimes I cut them all off. Tonight I was cutting these tabs off and decided to take the time to ask and find out the RIGHT way to install this plate.
    How do you install these tabs??

    Thank-you
    TK

    You install plate first. it usually goes from outside in. Then the mother board.
    Make sure the tabs do not short out usb`s or printer, or any thing else on board. Hopefully that plate came with your mother board. tabs fit around
    devices.
