I. Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your new Nanoxia Deep Silence 6 big-tower. We are confident that you will be delighted by your new PC case for many years to come. Nanoxia’s Deep Silence series have been designed and developed by an experienced team of developers in Germany. The silent optimized PC cases are of the highest quality and combine the best possible functionality with the highest level of flexibility.
EN If you are missing any of the items listed above, please contact our customer service immediately: support@nanoxia-world.com (Europe); support.overseas@nanoxia-world.
Included are special rubber seals which can be used to alternatively close the tube holes above the rear chassis fan, in case you don’t need to use them. Another design element for optimum sound insulation is the use of two sound-insulated front doors. The doors are equipped with sound-absorbing foam and perfectly suited to minimise noise from the optical drives, as well as the fans and hard disks in the lower enclosure area. The Active Air Chimney of the Nanoxia Deep Silence 6 also helps to minimise noise.
EN The innovative Nanoxia Active Air Chimney makes it easy to adapt the case to your needs. Under extreme conditions you can counteract heat generation under the top cover effectively: The two pre-installed fans under the cover will be automatically enabled if the chimney is opened. Thus the warm air is dissipated quickly and effectively from the case. When the air chimney is closed, the fans will be switched off again.
Mounting Bracket on the HDD cage: 280/240/140/120 mm radiator The mounting bracket between motherboard and hard drive cage is designed to make optimal use of the enormous size of the Nanoxia Deep Silence 6 case for water cooling systems. The bracket can be used to install a 280/240/140/120 mm radiator. If necessary, the radiator can then even be equipped with fans on both sides. Due to the generous proportions of the case, spacing problems are of no concern.
EN II. Installation Instructions 1. Installing the Motherboard You can mount HPTX, E-ATX, XL-ATX, ATX, M-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards in the Deep Silence 6. In order to ensure an easy installation of your motherboard, we suggest the following procedure: a) Please consult the following charts to find your motherboard form factor: HPTX E-ATX XL-ATX, ATX Micro-ATX Mini-ITX b) Attach the stand-offs according to your motherboard form factor.
d) Next you should mount the CPU cooler - for very large CPU coolers, the attachment of the EPS extension cable after installation can be difficult. e) Now place the motherboard gently inside the case and lead the EPS extension cable through the opening provided in the top left of the mainboard tray. f) Fix the motherboard to the motherboard tray. g) After the installation of the power supply, you can connect the EPS extension cable to the EPS-connector on the PSU at the back of the motherboard-tray.
EN 3. Installation of external drives You can install up to four external drives in the Deep Silence 6. Two adapter frames for mounting 3.5 inch drives are included. 3.1 Optical drives To install the optical drives, please remove both side panels. The installation of optical drives is tool-free. Remove the 5.25 inch cover by pulling the lateral tilting lever cautiously towards you and take out the cover. Then loosen the lock on both sides by dragging the black slider backwards (1).
4. Installation options for hard drives The Deep Silence 6 allows you the decoupled mounting of 13 hard disk drives. By using the 5.25 inch to 3.5 adaptors, you can mount a total of 15 data storage disks in your case. 4.1 Mounting of hard drives Install the 2.5 or 3.5 inch hard drives in the illustrated mounting frames. In order to extract the frame, squeeze the protruding brackets and pull the slide out gently.
EN 4.2 Utilising the additional 3-bay HDD-cage The Deep Silence 6 is equipped with an additional 3-bay HDD-cage, which is screwed to the bottom of the case. If you wish, you can purchase additional cages at retailers and thus significantly increase the hard disk capacity of the Deep Silence 6. The HDD cage can easily be moved to another position if necessary. To do this, please first remove the four screws that hold the cage on the bottom.
When you remove the top cover, proceed cautiously in order to not damage the cables of the I/O-Panel and the Active Air Chimney. To remove the cover completely, you need to remove the right side panel and disconnect the cable to the board that goes to the switch of the Active Air Chimney (see drawing). FAN3 FAN2 POWER FAN1 SWITCH 6. Fan assembly Five 140 mm fans are pre-installed in your Deep Silence 6. You can mount up to twelve fans in total.
EN You can remove the fan by pushing away the retaining lugs a little bit from the fan and then pull the fan out (picture 6B). picture 6B The dust filters can easily be pulled out, as you can see here (picture 6C). picture 6C Please note, that the filter elements must be fully inserted to guarantee the proper operation of the “Easy Access Panel”. 6.2 Fans under the top cover Two 140 mm fans are pre-installed under the top cover. If required, a total of three 120 or 140 mm fans can be mounted.
6.3 Fans in the mounting bracket behind the HDD cage If you want to mount additional fans inside the case, for example to optimise disk ventilation, you can use the specially developed mounting bracket that is screwed to the hard drive cage. For this, first remove the screws and then take the bracket out. The bracket offers mounting holes both for 120 and 140 mm fans; install the fans, then attach the bracket with the four screws back to the HDD-cage, as can be seen in the picture.
EN If you secure the cover in the side panel again after the removal of a side fan, please make sure not to tighten the screws not too much. To avoid damage to the internal thread or the side panel, the screws should be tightened by hand only. 6.5 Fans on the bottom of the case You can install two additional 120 or one 140 mm fans on the bottom of the case. It may be necessary to remove the additional 3- bay HDD cage screwed to the bottom (see chapter 4.2).
The controller has two channels (A and B), with each channel able to control up to four 3-pin fans, therefore a total of eight fans can be controlled. The fan controller is not designed for the operation of powerful fans. Please take this into account in particular when using fans from other manufacturers. The maximum power per channel must not exceed 18 watts. 7.2 Operation of the fan control The sliders for controlling the fans controller can be found behind the upper front door.
EN 8. The Active Air Chimney The innovative Nanoxia Active Air Chimney allows the easy dissipation of hot air in case of a heat buildup under the top cover: Once the Air Chimney is opened, the connected fans are automatically activated. When the Active Air Chimney is closed, the fans are switched off again. 8.1 Connecting the fans to the Active Air Chimney At the back of the motherboard tray, you can find a circuit board to which you can connect up to three fans.
9. Installing a water cooling solution In the Nanoxia Deep Silence 6, you can install both in the specially designed mounting bracket, as well as under the cover radiators or compact water cooling solutions. 9.1 Installation of a radiator or compact water cooling solution on the mounting bracket behind the HDD-cage The Nanoxia Deep Silence 6 is equipped with a special mounting bracket that is ideally prepared to receive a 120/140/240/280 mm radiator.
EN 9.2 Installation of a radiator or compact water cooling under the top cover For the installation of the radiator under the top cover, please use the offset mounting holes, as shown in the diagrams below. The offset ensures the best possible compatibility with current motherboards, even when using extra thick radiators. For the installation, remove the top plastic cover (see chapter 5.2) as well as the right side panel (seen from the front) and remove the pre-installed 140 mm fans.
10. The I/O-Panel The I/O panel includes connectors for external USB devices (2 x USB 2.0, 4 x USB 3.0), and the microphone and headphone ports. The I/O panel can be retracted into the case when not in use, this helps to protect the connectors while maintain the clean looks of the Deep Silence 6. To retract the I/O panel, press it down gently until you hear a click. The I/O panel is now closed. To open it, press lightly on the panel once more. The blue USB connectors are super-Speed USB 3.0, USB 2.
