NSK 1380

Micro ATX Cube Case

The Power Supply

The NSK 1380 comes with a 350-Watt power supply (PSU) that features universal input, active PFC, and is compatible with the ATX12V version 2.01 specifications. This power supply features a quiet 120mm low speed fan that exhausts heat from the case. This PSU has achieved 80 PLUS® Certification, the latest independent standard in power supply efficiency. It reduces power consumption by up to 25%, saving you money on your electricity bill. In addition it has a variety of industrial-grade protective circuitry: OPP (over power protection), OVP (over voltage protection), UVP (under voltage protection), and SCP (short circuit protection).

Setting Up

Although care has been taken to prevent sharp edges in your Antec case, we strongly recommend taking the appropriate time and care when working with it. Avoid hurried or careless motions. Please take reasonable precautions.

1.Take the case out of the box. Remove the packaging and plastic bag.

2.Put the case on a flat surface.

3.Place the case upright. The power supply fan in the back should be facing you.

4.Remove the screw from the rear of the case and remove the top panel by sliding it towards the rear of the case. Set the panel aside in a safe place.

5.There is a locking tab at the rear of each side panel. Squeeze and hold the tab while pushing the panel towards the front of the case to release the side panel. Take off both panels.

6.Inside the case, you’ll see the power supply, some wiring with marked connectors (USB, PWR etc.), an installed I/O panel and a power cord. You’ll also find a bag of hardware (screws, clip-on standoff, USB extension adapter, etc.).

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.

1.Lay the case down, with the open side facing up. The drive cages and power supply should be visible.

2.Make sure you have the appropriate I/O panel for the motherboard. If the panel provided is not suitable for the motherboard, please contact the motherboard manufacturer for the correct I/O panel.
