My sealed-box P4C800E-Deluxe, bought at a computer fair, contained the
wrong I/O backplate. The cut-out holes don't align with the board I/O
jacks. I'm impatient to check the board out while awaiting the
replacement part from Asus Tech (slow boat from China?). Can I run the
board in the meantime without the the plate?
My concern is that the board grounding would be substantially impaired
if I don't have the contact between the I/O jacks and the springy
retainer tabs on the inside of the backplate . If it matters, the case
is an Antec P160 with True Power 480W. Thanks.
