So far, I've always been able to install the boards without removing it. But some users reported that it prevented the board from being properly installed. So, if that's the case, just remove the foam/cushion. It has a protection role, for the I/O shield. Other than that, I don't see too much use.

ah thanks alot, so its optional defend upon the user. And I/O shield is what its called not backplate, sorry also in my stupidity and bad english. But last question, in your opinion: should it be remove or not?
