Which action is recommended to prevent the motherboard form contacting the metal base of the case?
Which action is recommended to prevent the motherboard from contacting the metal base of the case? Ensure that the non-conductive side of the case is beneath the motherboard. Use standoffs to keep the motherboard above the metal base. Place a non-conductive barrier between the motherboard and the metal base. Use a self-adhesive non-conductive membrane on the underside of the motherboard. Which action is recommended to prevent the motherboard from contacting the metal base of the case?

You can blow it with compressed air while it's in the motherboard. You can use a pencil eraser to clean the contacts if you take it out. Be careful, RAM is sensitive to static electricity. You can ground yourself by touching a part of the metal case of the computer before touching any component of the motherboard. You should never touch the contacts with your hands as the oil on them will contaminate it. You should ground yourself before putting the RAM back in.
How do you keep a motherboard from touching the base of the metal case?
Usually, when you buy a computer case it comes with standoffs which get screwed on to the case (there's usually at least 6 and as many as 10) and then the motherboard sits on those standoffs instead of on to the case itself. The motherboard standoffs serve the purpose of avoiding direct contact between the motherboard and the case itself so as to avoid a possible electrical discharge which would in turn damage the motherboard. There are holes on the case where the standoffs should be placed.
