EN I. Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your new Nanoxia Deep Silence 2 PC 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 optimised PC cases are of the highest quality and combine the best possible functionality with the highest level of flexibility.
Features: Complete customisable soundproofing with high quality materials meeting industrial standards Tool-free mounting of optical drives Mounting bracket for a 120/240 mm water cooling radiator or up to two 120 mm fans behind the HDD cage Max.
EN Another design element for optimum sound insulation is a sound-insulated front door. The door is equipped with sound-absorbing foam and perfectly suited to minimize noise from the optical drives. The lower part of the case front is also insulated with bitumen to absorb the noise from the hard disks and the front mounted fans. The hard disk drives are installed on trays which feature rubber grommets that are designed to absorb any vibrations caused by the HDDs.

EN Installation Instructions 1. Installing the Motherboard In order to ensure an easy installation of your motherboard, we suggest the following procedure: 1. Please consult the following charts to find your motherboard form factor: E-ATX Mainboard ATX Mainboard Micro-ATX Mainboard Mini-ITX Mainboard 2. Attach the spacers according to your motherboard form factor. 3. Attach the included EPS extension cable on to your motherboard – do not connect it to the power supply yet.
4. Next you should mount the CPU cooler - for very large CPU coolers, the attachment of the EPS extension cable after installation can be difficult. 5. 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. 6. Fix the motherboard to the motherboard tray 7. 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. 2.
EN 3. Installation of external drives 3.1 Optical drives To install the optical drives, please remove both side panels. The installation of optical drives is tool-free. Then loosen the lock on both sides by dragging the black slider backwards (1). Then slide the drive into the desired position. Lock the holder by pushing the slider back to its original position (2). Remove the 5.25 inch cover by pulling the lateral tilting lever cautiously towards you and take out the cover.
3.2 Utilizing the external 3.5 inch bay If you for example desire to place a 3.5 inch card reader, you can use the internal adapter for this purpose. Before you take out the internal adapter, please remove the 3.5 inch steel cover as shown on the picture. Open the two quick release locks of the 5.25 inch bay and remove the mounting frame. Then attach the card reader in the frame, as shown below. Then place the frame with the card reader back into the slot and lock the quick release.
EN 4. Installation 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. To install a hard drive into a bracket insert the disk so that the connectors point to the back and attach the hard drive using the screws provided. For the fitting of 3.5 inch hard drives please use the holes in Figure 4A (marked red). For the fitting of 2.
5. Removing the front panel To remove the front panel, simply hold the cutout at the bottom of the front panel and pull it towards you with a firm tug. If you remove the front, please note the I / O panel cables at the top of the front. Please be cautious here. 6. Fan assembly and cleaning of the dust filters The air intake openings in the front and at the bottom of the Deep Silence 2 are equipped with easy to clean dust filters. We recommend that you clean them on a regular basis.
EN Optional case fans: Note: Additional case fans in the side panel and the bottom of the Deep Silence 2 should be mounted so that cooler air is introduced into the case. If you install case fans in the mounting bracket, those should support the movement of air from front to back. Case fans installed at the top of the case should exhaust air out of the case. We recommend the use of the 120 or 140 mm Nanoxia Deep Silence fans, available separately.
Additional fans in the top cover: If you want to install more fans at the top of the case, please remove the Nanoxia VentCover first by unscrewing the screws on the outside of the case. Then hold the fan from the inside and secure it to the top by fastening the screws from the outside. Additional fan in the side panel: If you want to accommodate a fan in the side panel, please remove the Nanoxia VentCover first by unscrewing the screws on the outside of the case.
EN The dust filter at the bottom: The dust filter at the bottom can be pulled out for easy cleaning. 7. Connecting the fans to the 2-channel fan controller The fan controller is powered by a 4-pin Molex connector that is connected directly to the power supply. The controller has two channels (A and B), with each channel able to control up to three 3-pin fans, therefore a total of six fans can be controlled. The fan controller is not designed for the operation of powerful fans.
8. Operation of the 2-channel fan controller The sliders of the fan control can be found behind the upper front door. The left slider operates the fans of the first channel (A1, A2 and A3); the right slider controls the fans of the second channel (B1, B2 and B3). 9. The I/O-Panel The I/O panel includes connectors for external USB devices (2 x USB 3.0, 1 x USB 2.0), and the microphone and headphone ports. The blue USB connectors are high-Speed USB 3.0; the USB 2.0 port is black.
EN 10. Installation of a water cooling The Nanoxia Deep Silence 2 is equipped with a special mounting bracket that is ideally prepared to receive a 120/240 mm radiator. It makes it possible to mount a radiator and can be equipped with up to four fans for maximum heat-dissipation. Including the pre-assembled 2 x 120 mm Nanoxia Deep Silence fans behind the front panel, up to 6 fans provide a superior cooling performance.
