If you are taking about the little tabs that sit on of these ports, dont remove them, allow them to sit on top of the ports, they are for grounding purposes.

Its not the clearest of video's but it will show you how to do it, you will see the little tabs on the IO shield, so he installs the motherboard at an angle to get the ports under those tabs.

Ive had one of those stuck in the LAN port before and not realised it until ive finished my build, gone to plug in the LAN cable, couldnt get it in then realised what was wrong, and had to take half of the system apart again to get the tab out and sit on top of it.
