You mean it doesn't have the retention mechanism? It should have come with the motherboard.

There will be two pieces included with the board, a metal backplace, and a retention mechanism. Put the backplace on the bottom of the board, lined up with the holes, then put in the retention mechanism, and lock it down(I believe the KV8 uses screws).
