Installing the Motherboard

This manual is not designed to cover CPU, RAM, or expansion card installation.

Please consult the motherboard manual for specific mounting instructions and

troubleshooting. Before proceeding, check the manual for your CPU cooler to find

out if there are steps you must do before installing the motherboard.

1. Lay the case down so that the open side is up.

2. Make sure you have the appropri-

ate I/O panel for the motherboard.

If the panel provided is not suit-

able for the motherboard, please

contact the motherboard manu-

facturer for the correct I/O panel.

3. Line up the motherboard with the standoff

holes. Determine which holes line up and re-

member where they are. Not all motherboards

will match with all of the provided screw

holes, and this is not necessary for proper

functionality. Some standoffs may be pre-in-

stalled for your convenience.

4. Lift up and remove the motherboard.

5. Screw in the brass standoffs to the threaded

holes that line up with the motherboard.

6. Place the motherboard on the brass standoffs.

Screw in the motherboard to the standoffs

with the provided Phillips-head screws.

7. The motherboard is now installed.

8. If you are installing a water cooling system,

then you may need to run some of the tubing

outside the case through the hose ports with

rubber grommets on the back of the case.

Also, make sure to read about the pump/

reservoir platform feature described near the

end of the manual.
