HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.1 SETTING UP 1. 2. 3. Place the case upright on a flat, stable surface with the rear of the case facing you. Remove the side panels by first removing the thumbscrews at the rear of the case. Then, grip each panel at the top and bottom and slide it toward the rear of the case until it detaches from the chassis. To remove the front bezel, locate the three plastic tabs on the left side of the bezel. They fasten the front bezel to the metal chassis.
2.4 MOTHERBOARD INSTALLATION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Lay the case down, with the open side facing up. The drive cages and power supply should be visible. Make sure you have the correct I/O panel for your motherboard. If the panel provided with the case isn’t suitable, please contact your motherboard manufacturer for the correct I/O panel. Align your motherboard with the standoff holes and remember which holes are lined up.
2.6 EXTERNAL 3.5” DEVICE INSTALLATION There is one 3.5” drive bay available just below the 5.25” drive bays at the front of the case. Before you begin, remove the side panels and front bezel of the case as described in section 2.1. 1. 2. 3. Slide your 3.5” device into the drive bay from the front and align the screw holes on the devices with the corresponding holes in the chassis. Fasten the device in place with the provided screws. Connect the appropriate power and data cables. 2.7 EXTERNAL 5.
3.2 AC’97 / HD AUDIO PORTS There is an Intel® standard 10‐pin AC’97 connector and an Intel® 10‐pin HDA (High Definition Audio) connector linked to the front panel of the case.
3.4 REWIRING MOTHERBOARD HEADER CONNECTIONS There may come a time when you need to reconfigure the pin‐out of a motherboard header connector. Examples could be for your USB header, audio input header, or some other front panel connector such as the Power Button connector. Before performing any work, please refer to your motherboard user’s manual or your motherboard manufacturer's website to be sure of the pin‐out needed for your connector.
COOLING SYSTEM 4.1 TWOCOOL™ FANS Rear TwoCool™ Fan – There is a 120 x 25mm Two‐Cool™ fan preinstalled at the rear of the case. The fan is installed so the air will be blown out of the case. This fan comes with a two‐speed switch that let you choose the speed best suited to your need. The default fan speed setting is Low. 120mm TwoCool™ Specifications Size: 120 x 25mm TwoCool™ fan Rated Voltage: 12V Operating Voltage: 10.8V ~ 13.
4.3 OPTIONAL FANS There are a total of two optional 120mm fan mounts—two front intake fans (at the front of the HDD cage). We recommend using Antec 120mm speed control fans and setting the speed to Low. These fans must be installed so that the air is blowing into the case. Note: In order to build a quieter system, we recommend NOT installing the optional fans unless it is necessary for cooling. If you choose to install them we recommend using Antec 120mm speed controlled fans and setting the speed to Low.
